It's getting green!

My first attempt on landscape design! For the hedge I made an ashlar,
painted it green and add foiliage. As I am acology-minded, I added a
Busstop.

Wonder what bus fare to this town is from Kansas City; it would be fun to go take a walk through and see what they've got in book stores and food shops. Of course one would want to bring fresh batteries for their camera; and/or a sketchbook and pencils

Hi southwestforests,
You have to fly to Prague and from there by bus. Bus fares in Czech Republic are cheap! :-)

Hi,
A little mor landscape and the connection to the bridge.

Hmmm? The town looks great , Günter, but I've always had a small problem with all the buildings looking so new and in pristine squared condition. OK, I could imagine being transported back into medieval times and feel OK with that ... but now you've introduced a parking area and modern coaches, the city sort of takes on a Disney film set appearance. The colours are too bright and the roofs are too straight for it to be a preserved old town in modern times.

Just my opinion. Please don't take this as a criticism of your immaculate work on this. I doubt that anyone could adequately age and wonkify all those buildings. Easier to make a mud parking area with horses, carriages, and carts I think.

Hi Johny,
I think there has never been a town like this in real! Btw. the town is not a medieval town as there are also baroque houses. But even in the 17th century I believe have been old buildings in not so good conditions.
On the other hand in Europe there are som towns with a historical center which they keep in very good original condtion because of the tourism.
