Most of the year has passed since the last posting. Throughout the year, the canyon walls have increased in detail and the upper falls area has matured as well. The views in these photos share some of that progress.
You may have noticed that no water is flowing over the lower falls. An initial attempt at those didn't meet my expectations and I removed it. I tried a couple more modeling attempts only to again not be quite satisfied but I expect that at some point I'll get it right :o).
Another view from high above helps to give a better impression of the flowing river over the falls with mist in the air.
Also visible in this photo is the landscaping across the removable mountain section seam an inch and a fraction above the portal. Plenty of plants, ground cover and trees help to disguise the seam. For the most part, observers don't really notice the seam unless it is pointed out to them.
