Garden on the Roof Ready!

The Royal Gardener, Kiku Little, presented the "Garden on the Roof" to His Majesty, who received it with much delight. This is one of the pivotal parts of the colonial opening ceremony as the after party is planned to be here.

The garden represents the four classic elements of antiquity, earth, water, wind and fire. The rocks represent the earth, and the pools the water, and being placed on the highest point in New Bergen literally puts the garden in the sky to represent the air. The garden is not complete without the people who represent the fire, because it is only with fire that these other elements can take shape and, in this context, have meaning.

Here is the garden from the view of the standard observer in the garden:

Here you can see the very fine detail work on the plants in the garden. These are no simple green blobs, but delicate and precise life like renditions.

Here you can see the fine inlay work applied to the structural parts of the garden.

A nice overhead shot to show the layout of the complete garden.

Finally, an overall perspective view to show the whole garden in it's grand scale and opulence.

His Majesty was very moved by this work and believes that this garden is the nicest one yet constructed in Second Life.
