GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION
Yaku Island, at the northern end of the Ryukyu archipelago, is separated from the southernmost tip of Kyushu mainland by a 120m deep, 60 km wide strait. The area has a complex boundary, which is less than 1km wide in some places. It lies in the centre of the island, with a main arm extending down to the coast to the west and sinuous arms stretching south and east. Located at 30°20'5”N by 130° 31'32”E.

PHYSICAL FEATURES
Yakushima Island is 500 sq.km in area. Its central peak is 1,935m high and is the highest mountain in Kyushu. There are several peaks over 1,800m with mountain ridges and 40 peaks over 1,000m surrounding them. The topography from coastline to summits is extremely steep. The predominant bedrock is granite, but small areas of sandstone and shale occur at the foot of the central mountain (Anon.,1992; Numata, 1986).

Hey,

This is really good stuff! roud:
Big slope...maybe you'll have some trouble to keep it!
What plants are you planing for this scape?

lalmeida

any suggestion Master Shadow...??

Vow....nice scape...keep updating.roud:

Im no expert, but to me it seems you miss out on the depth effect compared to the photos. I would use big rocks in the front, then have a very steep slope upwards to the back until 10 cm from the back with rocks getting smaller and smaller, and then a slope down again, having trees/bushes arising from the back but leaving an area empty to create the glade. Lighting wise I would then choose a spot in the back to underline the glade effect.

very nice, cant wait till it grows in.
