  Swamps
 

The initial design document has been waiting in the wings since 1999 - 15 years.  Is the time ripe?  Is 3D beautiful enough yet?

 

 

  Marsh - Mangrove Swamp - Rocky Briar
  Overview
 
  • the northern half of everything west of the cliff rift
  • When explorer reaches the Northern area of the clif rift and can see down into the sea, they will see their companion dolphin jumping..
  • initially the explorer penetrates the western side of island only by swimming from the cliff tip NW of volcano where the cliff rift drops into ocean - this is a one way trip (until gaining the submarines) due to inability to climb the cliff that was jumped off earlier - so participant may later on see bonsai enclosure for first time from outside it (versus discovering it from the inside) or when hooking mini-sub Dolphin to underground tracks that branch off to Bonsai enclosure through alternate access
  • salty marsh with lots of small sub penetration to explore around all the waterways
  • the 3rd collection of dream structures is here and the structures nestled underwater below the islets of mangrove etc. would be a site to see - in an underwater view you could see upward past underwater architecture to root buttresses and maybe a contrasting structure that is above water and maybe even architecturally linked by being from the same geographic area of the world.  Some structures are half in and out of water
  • Inaccessible underwater structures will bring explorers back with their mini-sub Dolphins
  • This last set of dream structures stretches from under the canals of the mangrove to islands of gnarled root cypress trees.
  Theme
 
  • swamps are naturally mysterious from being somewhat inhospitable and a scenic place to put the second set of dream structures
  Detail
 

 

  • briar/swamp tubes and canals produced by dirt berms pushed aside from years of use - very mysterious until you see the cause (giant crabs and beetles) - paths have wear on tree trunks and some bent or leaning outward or along path, broken branches 
  • tube paths pushed through the lush jungle  - participants forced to use paths in some areas - may have to hide in a covey to side to watch giant crab go by etc. - tubes are overgrown over the top but break out into open areas occasionally - this could be a logical maze - explore by min-sub Dolphin and on foot
  • huge paths go from under swamp and ocean access to jungle to briars in higher ground rocky dry parts - dry from excess rocky volcanic ground drainage - the mystery
  • fogging in the swamp/marsh part - specially in the mornings and burns off according to the retreating cliff rift shadow.  Where the River of Life surfaces the fog hangs longer in these areas
  • more on the Giant Crab on Nemo's Bunker page 

 

Keep Following the Trail..

The rest of the West half of the Island is

Shadowed Jungle
