Explorations in Clayland Part 21: Living Landscapes

May the road rise up to meet you, literally.  

The ground you walk on, the water you ford, and the mountain you climb; they're not going anywhere.  Or are they?  Here are several living landscapes.


Geo-gesist:  The spirit of the landscape.  Massive boulders shift tectonically to form eyes and great gashing holes open in the ground to form mouths.

Wandering River:  Like some great, aquatic snake, this river jumped its banks and sidewinded away.

Lurching Lake: Lying flat, it appears to be an oddly shaped body of water with small islands.  When standing, the islands are revealed to be a head and arms.

Skittering Forest:  An unnaturally ordered stand of trees.  Wait, now they're legs!  Run!  

Lumbering Volcano:  Lava bursts forth from a once-dormant volcano.  Upon rotation, the flowing bands of molten rock form legs.  A mound of rock becomes the head, and two palm trees make up the arms.

Shuffling Mountain:  Strange projections on the leeward cliffside resolve themselves into stout legs when this mountain goes for a walk.

Bonus: Wandering Stream
