The new PG sims of Celebes, Adriatic etc are an unexpected discovery. They're a little short of vegetation, however. I flew around, looking at well crafted coastline (NW Coastal terrain set) and the occasional standard Linden conifer, and finally -- LOOK, A FERN!

Why not allow residents to rent these sims by the month as a display area for park landscaping? No docks or other clutter, just an enhanced natural landscape that the average landowner would like to see from his/her home in SL.

Here's a pic of Adriatic:

I notice that Khamon is giving a class on building trees (see the events listing). A class like this would be an ideal use of these islands. Other examples might be classes on natural-looking water effects and natural-looking particle effects such as snow. Fireflies and butterflies also come to mind.

I'd be happy to set up an unobtrusive demo of my coastal walkway system specifically designed to improve the *grey* shoreline of the NW Coastal terrain set. Here's an image showing this simple system in place between the coast of Windermere and the steps of a building finished in library rock texture with glass tinted the blue of the ocean.
