Welcome to Season II's fourth OC contest! Your suggestions and votes have determined this contest's theme: Natural Beauty!

This OC Contest is all about the terrain of your civilization, and what makes it particularly interesting and appealing. Is there an unusual plant or animal found nowhere else but one specific region within your civ? Perhaps your civ has gorgeous erosion-gouged canyons or spectacular karst landscapes or towering mountain peaks? As long as your post is about any constituent natural element of your civ's terrain (landforms, biomes, flora and fauna, etc.), it's what this OC contest is calling for.

Submissions will be open for approximately one week (ending ~11:59 PM EDT on Sunday, August 26) after which entries will be voted on and a winner chosen!
