I wanted a different type of gallery this time, so built a very different one. I raised a hollow mountain, flooded it, scattered my art, pottery and glassware across it and then built a beach all around the top of it. In parts the lake is 30 metres deep, and the surface water can be swum in.
I was quite pleased with the results...problem is what can I do next to beat it.....

I look forward to taking a look. I had hoped to create an underwater underwater gallery of my photos (taken while scuba diving).

Hollow mountain galery

I'm doing a slight bit of remodelling to the mountain, i'm adding a system of caverns and have lowered the mountain top slightly to free up the prims for an added fun draw I'm putting in.
If you get 1 or 2 of your photos to me, I could host your photographs for April.

Gallery looks good, I like the unique style with it being underwater.

My only criticism is the sculpted rocks can be a little difficult to navigate over/around since their physical boundary is different from the visual, I'd recommend some or all be turned phantom.

Rocks

They can be turned phantom, but for now I'm reducing their thickness to cut down on their interrupting an av's passage through the lake. As I've now constructed a large cavern area, small & larger caverns linked by tunnels.
I may even remove most of the rock floor and replace it with a flatter sandy bottom to the lake with boulders scattered around..mmmm...what next;-)

Thanks for your comments nand, another pair of eyes can see things differently.

lake re-modelling

Hi nand
I've re-modelled the lake floor, and the caverns basic shapes are done. I'm not sure yet whether to leave them natural, undersea ruin or spooky.
Would you mind taking a look and let me know how you find it now.

I've also started selling natural rock boulders and painted ones.
