    The Tree in the upper left was suppoed to be a branch with an Eagle sitting on it, but I really didn't like the way that came out. Here is an updated version with no trees.

    Right, I should mention the eagle doesn't bother me, it's the sideways tree.

    editoh, hijacked me. It looks like it needs a little something. I can see what you mean now with it being a branch. I think i twas just too close in size to the tree itself. Well, that and the leaves going the wrong way, imo.

    If the trees were more a part of the frame and you could see like the whole tree on the left. But overall, I don't think you really needed them for this.

    This is just stupendous. I can't think of enough superlatives. I love the town plan. Incredible.
