Ideas for a shelf layout

[Sir Madog]

I have only very little room available to build my dream layout. It has to go on top of an existing shelf measuring 8´ 6" by 2` . It will have to be some type of a switching layout, but I am looking for fresh ideas for a "scenic" version, set in an urban/industrial surrounding, may be with some sort of "water front" to go with it. Left and right is room for detachable switching leads of a length of 2´.

Help?

Have fun
