My Nautilus city-island rental property has transformed into a garden temple, similar to the Mysten TILE temple throw in a lot of pretty landscaping. Basically I stole the vegetation from the Collagesity Heights garden, trimmed it down to a 32×32 meter square to fit my new property, and started adding in other objects within this base.

The faithful reader will recognize many items from the TILE temple here.

Front entrance of the temple/garden, I suppose.

The spanning walkway is clogged with crystal clusters and plants.

Perhaps the most central tableau of the garden: the return of Lisa V.’s burning lemon.

Carrcassonnee is there too in the knee to thigh deep plants. Can she exist here and in Minoa’s Collagesity at once?

The only structure per se on the property is this shed…

… which acts as Baker’s small study, complete with computer and desk.

Great view of The Wall within.

Overhead view which includes the land of my castle dwelling immediate neighbor.

I have a related category on the inactive Baker Blinker Blog — best read from back to front, per usual.

My posts are essentially divided into land exploration of the new island in 2008 (first half posts) and then sea exploration around the island just afterwards (second half of posts). And that’s about it, except for one brief, former stay on the island described in another post, and a couple of revisits.

Now I’m back. Is this my new home? Or is it just a vacation of sorts? Will I finally give up Collagesity next to the Rubi Forest? I’ve been there going on 1 year almost. Why should I keep it? Will I be happy just existing in Nautilus City?

From my new exploring base in Nautilus-Dido (which I’m just going to call Dido from here on out), I poked around my new island digs a bit this night and took several pics of the builds found on a couple of my nearest neighbors’ lands…

… plus a good number of the native Linden concoctions, like this ancient, horn topped lighthouse…

… and the island’s main harbor guarded by two massive statues of Poseidon. I’m sure I’ll be revisiting these statues more up close soon enough. I knew about them from previous explorations of the city-island, starting in 2008 when it first rose, Atlantis-like, from the sea.

Baker Bloch enjoys the sights, sound, and textures of a cluster of Linden ferns on the side of a hillock near the lighthouse.

More Linden plant groupings (green cypresses and flowering plumeria).

Baker recharges at a bar I can’t remember the exact location of; Nautilus city-island map on the background wall.

Then it’s on to the island’s main wooded section, which probably surpasses the Great Rubi Forest in size if not tree density. I plan to make a detailed examination of this wood soon if I decide to stick around the island through Baker Bloch. We’ll see…

The tree species are similar to Rubi’s as well: lots of brown and green cypresses, throw in a good number of eucalyptuses. But there’s more diversity of vegetation in the undergrowth; more diversity of ground terrain; more changes in elevation. And there’s also some big, nifty rocks — you don’t have any rocks in the Rubi Forest.

The elevated central city seen from a high spot in the wood. Baker can only make out high green terrain from this distance.

… next to its walled center. More details soon!
