Well, I have an opposite island, and it happened to have room for another habitat... So, very appropriately, I dropped my celestial habitat there along with the other ff prizes.
Only the gloaming stone is on a different island because I chose to put it with my magic rift prize.
Me like your island pretty much! Appropriate, indeed.
You did not place the gloaming stone there because it would block the TT's entrance door? I did not have room on my Sun/Moon island I split the prizes too.
Thanks buffy. My opposite island is one of my favorites, and I am glad I was able to add the new habitat and decorations without losing any of the island's charm. The gloaming stone would not have fit centered in front of the TT tower, but I definitely try never to block doors. I could have put it where the red tree is, but I decided to put the three event gifts together on my Central Square Park island. (Since I took the screen shot, I got a dream habitat and moved the dream decoration to that island. I then put the Vernal Glass in the corner with the rift monument and the gloaming stone.)
I love my vine dragon avatar created by ElektronX. Now, if only BFS would add it to the game...

Those two larger trees at the top center- did I see a couple of suspicious looking bones peeking out from behind them?
Looking around and enjoying life!

When I started playing DV more than two years ago, I wanted to have some meaning to my decorations and placed elemental flags in sequence whenever I had a new hybrid dragon. My flags start at top row from left. The first two flags are fire and earth showing that my first hybrid dragon was Lava. The next two flags are cold and earth indicating Mountain. Then I had Moss, Poison, Quake, Scorch, and so on.
I did the same thing for epic dragons. Although I did not show here, my first epic dragon was Pearl. Then I got Moon, Ruby, Sun, six Olypmus in a row, Seasonal, another Sun, and so on. I will never get rid of these flags.

Oh dear, I hope not. I guess I better go check. I can't have a dragon eater in my park. I love my dragons, but not for dinner.

I've pretty recently completely updated my islands, so I thought I'd share them here:
First Island
This island may not seem like much, but it houses all my Rainbows, Shrines, Eggs and Gemstone Habitats. The dense forest allows for expansion if it should be necessary. Believe it or not, but this was without question the hardest island to make, and I'm still not satisfied with how it looks. This one's a candidate for further enhanchement.
Second Island
This island has gone through a lot of changes with the firefly festival, and me adding all my rewards here. The third habitat of both Moon and Sun types are also recent, but I think I have finally settled for a layout. The only thing that bothers me is that the Astrovanes are wrong. Moon is to the right, not the left, but if I changed that I would mess up the Firefly Edifices. Although, I could do some Yin Yang design and use the edifices as the "dots" or whatever you call them
Third Island
This is absolutely one of my favourites and I wouldn't change anything even if I could. When I first made the design, I had two Light habitats here as well, and also two of the Treasure and Lightning habitats. When I replaced them, I also tried to replace the Light decorations, but the island became too yellow, actually. I decided to keep them (even the flags), and I think that gave the island its' own perfect balance of colours.
Fourth Island
Maybe this island is overly green, maybe it isn't. Anyways, I tried to give the island some personality by giving the paths a kind of old overgrown foresty look. If I were to change anything here, I would add some splashes of blue here and there.
Fifth Island
When I came up with the idea for this island, i didn't think it would be any good, but it turned out to be my absolute favorite! The decorations in many different colors make the seasonal habitats and colosseum fit in, but still be distinct, in whatever shape they are, although I still think it looks best as it does currently, in the summer, because the Olympus habitats do not change, and in any other season they might look horribly out of place.
Sixth Island
This is my "Maintenence" island where I have almost all "Maintenence-y" things. I would like to have my farms here, but they take up too much space, and don't really fit in here (colour-wize as well). For the decorations, my idea was kind of a "village in the forest", where the wizards would live. I think I captured that feel pretty well, especially with them having to walk away a bit from the village to get to the breeding cave/FoY. It would be nice to have that distance be a little longer, but the DV islands are too small. I also have room for expansion in the upper woods.
Seventh Island
Here I tried to capture a kind of infernal but still in some ways peaceful world with the red autumn forest and the volcano. This is the only island where I use brick paths. I generally dislike them, but they fit really well into the color scheme of this island, in my opinion. Originally, I was only using red trees, but that created a similiar situation to that of the Third Island. It was too much red. I changed it up with some yellow trees, which worked perfectly.
Eighth Island
This one was also really hard to design, but it was well worth it. The problem I faced was that there was just too much stuff that had to fit. As a last resort I tried a symmetrical design. I wanted to make the island unsymmetrical, but this was what I got after a bit of tweaking and moving rocks around. You'll also notice that I have ten farms, and not eleven. I'm honestly surprised that BFS specifically chose eleven! You can't do anything with eleven. Twelve would be perfect, but for now ten will have to do.
Ninth Island
This one may seem a little bit chaotic, but I love it. I think the color combination makes for a beautiful island, and the I like the bit of randomness with the paths. First, I tried a Yin Yang design, but as I have previously noticed, it is hard to do in DragonVale. Mainly because it is hard to find decorations with enough contrast to immediately make you recognise the Yin Yang shape.
Tenth Island
This one also turned out really well. It didn't become what I had expected, but I really love it. There's not much to say, other than giving crumble608 a warm thank you for inspiring me to make the path like this. Maybe I would've ended up with something similiar by myself, but you saved me a lot of time with your island I hope you don't mind me borrowing your idea, though.
Greger, thanks for sharing. It's a lovely design, so much care and some really great combinations and colours. Very creative, with a coherent story to thread the islands together. I look forward to seeing the last 2 islands.
Kindle park1: nearly all dragons are frolicking in their habitats! (A Thorny little problem to resolve...)
Smartphone park2: Geode, a dragon with rocks in! Still to breed 4 dragons...

I love your park, Greger !! It reminds me a bit of my own. I, too, have a red, a green and a yellow island, and a small village. ( but in the effort of showing as many dragons as possible mine looks a bit jam-packed )

I would love to see your islands! Are them in this thread? Anyhow, I sent you a FR on GC as I don't think we are friends there.
Edit: I found them! Beautiful park! And I love your snowy island. I had an island kind of like that before, and you'll see that one of my two new designs will look a bit like that
Greger - Like your park very much! The colors blend so well. My favorite would be the 5th island, love the large seasonal habitats on that island, the blue streams, and the greenery..etc. I think I can relate to it, it reminded of Vancouver Island actually.

I really would've liked to have my two new islands ready today, but I have a complication. I ran out of money. I never should've planted those beanstalks
So I am showing off my top 5 islands since the rest of them are still under construction and not quite ready for the public yet. These islands won't have any major changes for a long time to come.... I hope
ISLAND #1
This is by far is is by far my favorite island it holds most of my big money making habitats. I was going for an epic island design (as in epic dragons) surrounding all the shrines. And I still have room for dark and light shrines down the left side if they ever come out with them.
ISLAND#2
This is my colosseum island and I just happened to find fire went really well with the theme. There is one flag for each type of dragon surrounding the colosseum (I hid the ugly ones like seasonal behind it) all
ISLAND #3
This is is my egg island recently redone to fit lots and lots and lots of golden hybrids assuming they come
ISLAND #4
Earth and dark island. It got a lot better with the addition of the prism item and I really like the way it looks
ISLAND #5
My opposite island. I like this one not only because it looks nice (i mixed the paths to have some fun) but because it is also very functional holding all my farms and both the storage tower and hibernation cave
please tell me what you guys think feedback is always apreciated.

Gem friends are full. But I love seeing new parks!
Still need: cyclops, snowy silver, arbor, bouquet, dream, sprout
Very nice islands, justintime! My favorite is the opposite island. To be honest, I'm not really in love with "path platforms" or whatever they are called. You know, when you put down a lot of paths to make it look like a paved area or something like that, but you actually made it look fine with your opposite island. I like it!
Also, I have updated my first post on this page with my last two islands. Hope you all like them as much as I do

I like your tenth island very much. It looks so "cool". Right now it is so hot (100oF or 38oC) in Florida. I wish we have a place like your tenth island here in Florida.
