Arrivals from the Sky Islands

A two-storey terminal where travellers arrive from islands that drift in the sky, set among green hills. Upstairs, a navigation room has a relief table of mountains, a wall chart of curves and a brass compass hanging from the beams. Next door a waiting room hung with bunting holds a mother and child with a basket of greens, wooden chairs and an old man reading a slip beside a box. At the right, two researchers in white coats study potted plants under a magnifying glass, with dried herbs overhead. Downstairs left, an arrivals hall with numbered doors has a clerk with a rubber stamp at a curved wooden desk, a backpacker and a man holding rolled maps before a large world map. Downstairs right, workers pack jars and fruit into crates under hanging ropes, below a painting of floating islands. The large world map in the arrivals hall is the obvious first landmark, with the crates and plants filling in around it.
