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

Keep Following the Trail..
The rest of the West half of the Island
is
Shadowed
Jungle
