Re: The Hills Of Despair?! I named my car Lucy, my tank is named "Oh Please Will You Cooperate with Me", and my apartment complex is named "Study in Deserted Dog Poop."
I'm neutral on the concept of aquascaping being an art form. Being an "artist" myself in other fields, I am inclined to find the art in creating a well executed and visually appealing planted tank. Much of traditional art is based on composition, and much of a beautiful aquarium is based on composition as well. Sometimes I think many of the names given to tanks are silly merely because it can sometimes seem that the owner picked a random word from the dictionary to look smart. Other times, I believe names are very fitting because they convey the "mood" and atmosphere of the finished product. Like tanks that are created to interpret a specific place in nature, those make sense. |
