Rainbows in the Lehigh Valley Gorge

[TMo]

I've cast some more rock and placed some at various points on the riverbank and in the river - used Sculptamold as adhesive on the larger rocks, craft glue for the small stuff).  It now looks like something out of a science fiction landscape - white rocks in a sea of brown.  In my experience, paint helps - and that's the next step.  The gorge is a mix of shale and slate-colored rocks in a variety of mostly grays, so we mix black and white and maybe a touch of blue or green (moss) for the week.  

On the areas of the riverbank, I'll be applying a good bit of scenic elements after painting rock, and a lot of the rock I paint will eventually be covered with some other ground cover (leaves, underbrush, shrubs and trees).  I will wait to do most of the ground cover and scenery on the riverbank until I've poured my water and have that finished to my liking.

The riverbed itself will be a mottling of light brown (shallow waters near shore) to deep green (in deeper sections).  I'll also have areas rocks protrude above the waterline.  More photos forthcoming as the paint is applied.

I'm running the Apollo at low speed while I work.
