Part 1
Travis's Task
The Order have gotten together and has deemed now as a good time to start expanding our knowledge of our world. From beneath the seas to beyond our stars, they want the secrets of the land to be discovered. The first place they choose should be somewhere accessible but not well traversed, and after a vote they decided the Emerald Rainforest was the perfect candidate. Not too far, but so dense with foliage that it's not thoroughly explored.
Travis and Gaia were put on task for this Discovery Event and with the help of the rest of The Order they spread the word throughout Loonia to gather in the Highlands when the summer heat begins to creep in. After much anticipation, the time has finally come and the open fields were abound with exploration teams.
The giant Travis loomed over the teams and with a resounding rumble, cleared his throat and brought the countless Evoloons to his attention.
"Welcome everyone! You have my deep gratitude for turning up at our summons. We hope your journey here was free of burden, for you are now about to set forth into a location that has unknown challenges waiting in its shadowed depths. Your task for the first leg of our journey is to explore and discover as many landmarks, plant-life, structures, and terrains in and around the Emerald Rainforest. The rainforest's ecology is affected not only by itself but by the surrounding areas as well. As such you are also encouraged to explore the locations around the Emerald Rainforest. You may Explore as far as the coast, the mountains, and all the way around to the Thundering Channel. When you feel you have exhausted your research, report back to me with your findings. If you encounter any difficulties you will always find refuge and help here. The Order wishes you luck and safe travels on your journey."

Each image MUST depict 6 different sceneries of the landmarks, plants, structures, and terrain of the Emerald Rainforest and the areas around the Emerald Rainforest.
This is a "Discovery" Event, so please feel free to be creative! What do you think can be found in and around the Emerald Rainforest?
Don't be afraid to be creative and make the Emerald Rain forest your own.
Example:
If you are doing 3 images of the Emerald Rainforest itself, they need to look different.
They cannot be 3 images of generic Rainforest foliage.
They can be: 1 image of generic Rainforest foliage, 1 image of ancient ruins, and 1 image of the "Sister Falls". All are in the Rainforest but all are vastly different visually.
