Obviously a wip (see broken trees); some six weeks to grow vegetation
but mainly to streamline the growing mass of code linking the various
scenes, includes, and macros that form the complex world of Gancaloon.
Especially the (partly automated) switchboard between camera viewpoints
is becoming a challenge. Still, much to do on this particular scene.
Making good trees with POV-Tree is not an easy task, neither with Arbaro
I must say. Except for the palm trees, I am not happy with the others.
So, it will keep raining for a little while I am afraid ;-)

Only six weeks to grow those mature trees! The rain must be having a
good effect. We expect a bumper harvest when the season comes around.
BTW Is there a vacancy for an umbrella concession in the market place?

I think, you will repair the broken trees soon. Never seen this issue before.
The TomTree palms are the best I agree. Arbaro is not intended for the
foreground (50 m distance to the cam at least is stated within the docs). In
some places the city wall looks a little bit "warped" now in comparison to your
last wip. Or is this due to the added plantation?
I wonder about this brown structure at the road. May be my eye sight is to low.
It looks very blurred but the grass to the left seems to be blurred less. If it
is not only an earth texture, I would suggest to place a wet dog there (or a one
a little bit more on focus). Otherwise I didn't expected this development of
your image (from a more desert to a living valley). I like it, well done!
Best regards,
Michael

Lol. It had been dry too long I am told.

Oh yes! Umbrellas went out of fashion but demand is on the rise now. Be
quick about it however, a full shipload is on its way.

Thanks indeed. It seems my images often take a painting look. I am not
sure why though...

Good to know about Arbaro, I had not read that. Still, it can make good
trees but I am painfully struggling with it. Most probably because I do
not always really know what I am doing :-)

The brown structure /is/ a dog. It is well-focussed too as everything is
in focus here. Using dof makes the render way too slow even with a very
small aperture, so I left that out momentarily.
Concerning the environment: this is not really a truly desertic region.
It looks a bit like the Djurdjura Region in Algeria (I have lived there
for a short time). The proximity of the Mediterranean and the presence
of the River Yann here combine. The desert is not far away however.
Think of the Nile for an analogy.

This scene begins to become epic!
I like especially the contrast of the grass.
