Holy Toledo! FarmVille player, Joelr's, Fourth of July flying farm fortress can only be described with one word: epic. In this case, the design is so awesome, the fact that it also celebrates the Fourth of July is almost too much! But at the same time, I can't think of a better farm to feature on the day of America's Independence.
Joelr's farm features red white and blue decorations, a hay bale star, hordes of colorful barnyard animals, an incredible hill illusion, and of course, a massive floating castle (in case you missed it). Not only is there an optical illusion creating a sloped hill, there is even retaining walls made out of fences to further the appearance of an incline. Even more innovative is the shadow cast by the flying castle, which is created entirely out of black hay bales; another expert illusion. With both technical skill and creativity, Joelr has quite a talent for farm design.
Continue reading to see what Joelr had to say about her flying Fourth of July fortress:
What inspired your creative farm design?
Got interested in 3d farming, hay bale/fence stacking and it grew from there. Got some great ideas by looking at the forum pics.
Do you have any awesome decorating tips to share?
Search YouTube for how-to videos and check the Zynga Forums. Also Google different types of designs (i.e. FV fence stacking)
How did you create the wonderful crop and hay bale art? Was it difficult to create the floating castle illusion?
It was more fun than difficult, the hard part was dealing with storage limits and continuously working around other objects. Takes a bit of planning.
How long did it take you to complete the design?
Not sure how many hours, I worked on it over a 2 or 3 day period, it gets easier the more you do it though.
Check out the rest of our July 4th coverage right here.

FarmVille Pic of the Day: Onisuka057's fall oasis goes Halloween
With Halloween coming our way, lots of FarmVille players are dusting off last year's decorations and buying up this year's new ones. Onisuka057's farm brought us a fall oasis last month just as the weather was getting colder, and as I predicted, he's swapped out some of his various types of Maple Trees and planted, not just one, but what looks like nearly all of the Halloween trees released this year: Halloween Tree (it's dark pink with glowing Jack O' Lanterns), Jack O' Lantern Tree (it's dark purple with lavender Jack O' Lanterns), Dark Apple Tree (dark purple with apples), Spider Tree (teal blue with small purple spiders), Fire Peach Tree (dark purple with fireballs), Halloween Candy Tree (lavender with candy growing), and Candy Corn Trees (they're not orange yet cause they're still maturing).

Not much has changed on the mainland though. The Old Faithful geyser eruption from the Yellowstone collection is still there. He's kept the recently released Lighthouse Cove decor with several Tree Arches, Autumn Creeks, and Outdoor Picnics. The amount of premium Farm Cash goods going on in this one continues to be staggering. But he's shrunk the water levels and added what looks like a school of ducks on his blue hay bale river.
If Onisuka057's willing to open his wallet even further, swapping out the English Countryside buildings for the Werewolf Shack and Dilapidated House can really spookify things.

FarmVille Pic of the Day: Hop on a train to Onisuka057's fall oasis
Click the image to make it larger.
Even though we're in the end of September, the leaves are still green in New York City. But Onisuka057's FarmVille farm is clearly headed for autumn with the yellows and reds of what appears to be the Autumn Ginkgo Tree, Maple Tree, Red Maple Tree, Sugar Maple Tree, and Rowan Tree. On top of that, there's also a Maple orchard below, though that seems to have been thrown in at the last minute. Maybe he can build up the bottom of his farm once Halloween comes around. But he has already dipped into the recently released Lighthouse Cove decor with several Tree Arches, Autumn Creeks, and Outdoor Picnics. So yeah, there's a lot of premium Farm Cash goods going on in this one.
Beyond the colors, the next most striking aspect of Onisuka057's farm are the train tracks bordering it, which are actually two-dimensional, but some massive fence-stacking and blue hay bales have fooled your eyes into seeing an elevated "bridge" hanging over "water." That's the sort of low-cost ingenuity farm designers love to see. But while building a bridge out of fences was a bit of improvisation on the creator's part, limited edition railroad decor did come out in FarmVille last fall as part of the Wild West package, so those are real tracks you're looking at there.

Finally, hidden in the top corner is a plume of smoke that's actually another limited edition special--an Old Faithful geyser eruption from the Yellowstone collection.

FarmVille Pic of the Day: Take a bite out of Deanna2u's BLT burger farm
Is it farm art or food art? Is it a burger or a BLT sandwich? Either way, it looks delicious! Today, we put aside landscapes and abstract pieces to go for still-life with hay bales, because I can't remember a time where a FarmVille farm managed to induce as much drooling as Deanna2u's simple, perfect creation.
Deanna2u chose bold bright colors on a black outline and a blue field, layering the bun's insides with what looks like cheese, ham (or an ultra rare cooked patty), lettuce and tomatoes. Is it just me or do the tomatoes actually look like they're smiling?
