The mysterious ledges of the Chasm-Canyon system.

Deep down the Chasm ( the famous part of the Canyon that has a very narrow top opening) is lit by sparse sunlight breaking through the narrow slit, and by the sidelights illuminating the Yellow Brick Road. The major feature in this picture is one of the ledges that are found all over the northern peninsula. These ledges protrude out of cave floors, mountain valleys. This part of the Chasm is over 800 feet deep, shows no traces of erosion or natural arch formations, and has no debri to suggest that the ledge was a part of an arch that collapsed.

A glimpse at the upside down life of the Chasm

This is the monkey bat, or the troll bat as they call it here in the north of the island. The bats often stay topside after the daybreak, foraging for fruits. The rest of them form a formidable swirling animal jetstream entering any major opening of the Chasm.

These are the mushrooms of the Chasm. First they grow down and then curl upwards. They are edible, and somewhat more tasty than the typical cave mushroom you can buy at your local Trader Joe's, Publix or Kroger.

Brog Corporation's giant hi-tech recycling complex

This is the flagship plant of Brog Coproration's hi-tech waste processing complex in the company's own Brog City (which is also the largest -6 million strong - company town in the world). Nothing goes to waste on the island: the household waste, sewage, recycled materials get sorted out using the latest technologies and reprocessed into new cardboard, plastic, metals, even gold and vitamins.

A plane is heading to land at the Brog City's Central Airport (there is also the industrial-military Southern and a cargo-transhipment Northern Airport). Note the Tokyo City symbol on the building at left. The City of Tokyo has several joint projects running at the complex.
This is no ordinary sand pile. It is a precious catalytic sand used and recycled frugally to treat sludge accumulated and concentrated from liquid waste:

Brog technology allows the plant to separate the stubborn solid mixtures of different recycled materials that are often made into park benches. Here the polymers are treated and separated.
