Since deciding three months ago that I finally had enough bricks to start
building my realm, I have been working on my first serious Castle MOC in
years. Aquana Pynora is the home of the mysterious Arlow who far in the past
of my current storyline, helped to found Auren.(one of my realms)I had made
the firm decision I would not post pictures of Aqua Pynora until it was
finished, and, of course, changed my mind the week I finally got a digi cam.;-)

Often you can see people waiting outside for an audience with Arlow in need
of medicine, advice, or some other help. The mural in the close-up is the
cause of much speculation, as most of the people who know Arlow have never
seen a desert and dark gray stone is far too rare in their area to be used for
a whole castle.
Here is one side:

Each of the four styles of building are gifts from different people Arlow has
helped.

I had intended to have a black and brown tree on each side, but only had one
pair of brown half corners, so I "borrowed" the idea of having tree stumps
built into a building from Jeff Johnston's "Red Fox's Den" (1)
Here is a picture of Arlow sitting in his favorite chair with his wildcats:

Next I plan on building some rooms for Arlow to keep all his animals, and a
library.

COOL! I love the mural, that's a really good idea and very well done. =) I
like how the different sides of the building have different elements and
colors, that's really interesting. Looking forward to the stories. =)

Thanks!

I"m working on it. Right now though I'm busy just playing around with my
Mavica, trying to take some pictures of all my (many) characters, and
finishing some of the vital back-story.

Hey Leah,
Great job!!
The mural looks very cool, much potential for the story behind it. (My story-
radars are always up, have you noticed? <grin>)

LOL, I'm glad you changed your mind coz it looks great.
I especially liked your extremely detailed sides, you have some *fabulous*
ideas there, for example I really liked the balconies (I'm trying to make some
of my own), the statue (pic 5), the window frames (in pics 17 & 22), and
especially the "scene" in picture 18.
Now, I'm just wondering, but you sent me descriptions of all your characters
*except* for your sig-fig, is that intentional? LMK.

We'll have to see... In the storyline Aquana Pynora is eventually partially
destroyed, (I don't really know the who what or why for the destruction.)and
is much later rebuilt into the private residence of the king of Auren.
For some strange reason, I found myself building the Pre-Auren version and
not the current version as I intended. (I didn't really care though, I was
having too much fun, and happy that my builders block was finally gone :-) Now
I've started having some interesting ideas for some stories in the past as
well as the present.

I glad to know you received my e-mail, my ISP kept disconnecting :-/ I was a
little tired and having trouble thinking of clear way to explain the reason
for the time difference between Arlow and the other characters.

Well, I needed so many exterior shots to catch all the details, that I
decided to have one post for the pics of the exterior, and a second post for
the pics of the interior. I should post the next set of pics tomorrow.
