The foliage is so pretty! The entire area in that shot looks great!

[Wowman]

Another quiet shaded place to eat in this area.

[Wowman]

Under the 2nd tent.

[Wowman]

More booths around the fest area.

Nice job on the booths! Good use of signage and shade. One of my gripes about many places that have food booths is not enough shade and poor signage so you don't even know what's available where.

I like it! :^)

[Wowman]

Just some more fest fun

[Wowman]

Some artwork around the fest.

[Wowman]

Another food truck along the edge of the Fest area.

[Wowman]

More fest tents.

 

[Wowman]

More from around the Fest area.

[JB]

I have to chuckle at the heavy-duty ropes hanging down from the balloons.   I realize they have to be sturdy to support the display atop the truck.

[Wowman]

Even more Fest area.

[Wowman]

A couple last shots of other walkways and tents I haven't shared yet.

Looks cool! Love the tent design with the tree going through it - is the fest area more permanent? If it is I'd recommend adding some gravel or something under the tent area instead of just grass but it's more of a temporary thing then I think grass would make more sense logically.

[Wowman]

yes - the idea is permanent....and its Astroturf. 

 

[Wowman]

Here is a shot from further away showing the tents and trees.

Another drone shot looking down on the Fest area.

[Wowman]

Looking down on the Fest at night.

[JB]

Ooh, nice! Reminds me of a campground at night, lit by campfires and Coleman lanterns... Plus three large UFOs. 

[Wowman]

There are ALWAYS UFOs when camping!

[Wowman]

More at night.

The theming is great, but the walkways look too dark without any lighting. Is that not an option in PZ? If you can, you should add some street lights, even if it's just a little. I think it would add a lot to the setting to make it look more real.

Either way, I'm loving the progress! Can't wait to see more!

[Wowman]

yes there is lighting and I actually have quite a bunch in here. I do have to say the lighting in this game is not as good as Planco. Many of the normal bulbs are very dim and the area lighting is way too bright, like almost blinding bright. I sometimes double up the bulbs to increase the lighting, but the piece counts go up so quickly. If you look, about every 30ft or so down this path there is a light pole with lights. Also, the moon light seems to wash out a lot of the theme lighting, especially when zoomed out a bit like this shot. 

[Wowman]

Another night shot.
