I do find hower the klicky-population a bit on the low side, I had expected to see a bit more activety to be going on...
Especially the side with the castle's inner square & fence, that side seems to have remained empty  ???

I think I've seen photos of that before wow speaking as a gardener it works in the simple way the garden's been settup and the building itself must have taken ages to build liking those grey Klickies as gargoyles?  :)

Macgayver and Rapunzel
Each time you present a new project, it is just mindboggling, especially the way you use the parts in such a creative manner.
