OF THE SKYBOX

It is a woodland setting. One hears creatures out of sight (birds and insects). A number of people are sitting around a fire.

If I scan downwards sideways or up I find myself in midair, but an illusion of space is maintained inside the box due to the backdrops on the sides.

all in all a very effective illusion.

I rather imagine I would smell the fire and typical background odors of a forest at night...

OF THE SANDBOX

I noticed in the sandbox that there is an awful lot that I don't usually notice, because I am usually intent either on building or on what people are doing there. There are wind chimes, the wind blowing, the eagle crying -- a lot of sound which gives a sense of place. There are trees and buildings visible all around that don't really normally intrude into my attention.
