*That's* why I didn't like it! thought it was a bit odd to have such a
dominant centre plant, but interesting, now you've said that - shows how much
our eye is trained to the landscape effect, with a centrally receding point!

Very good marketing for that store! But a tad expensive, you'd have to be
sure of reaching your target audience, and bring in enough business from it,
so it would have to be for a national chain.... Or you could set it up like a
one-off game show situation, to be sponsored by or have advertising from
various retailers and suppliers, I could see it going well in the US
especially!
Maybe the next AGA contest could be the subject of a "documentary", and have a
competition of this kind that could be televised live, vs background stuff on
a couple of the winners/competitors in the actual showcase, plus Karen Randall
or someone talking about the challenges and principles of
aquascaping.......hmmmmm!
Ideas are easy, its carrying them out that's harder, but it would be very
interesting to a large audience, I'm sure! Even had aquascaping featured in a
Vancouver newspaper a while ago, touting it as the latest trend in interior
design for offices etc!
