Due to the success and popularity of our recent Homestead contest we've decided to run another similar one, but this time taking focus in a little bit. The winner this time will recieve ??INSERT PRIZE??.
What we'd like to know is if you have a little part of your homestead that's extra special to you, perhaps, if your imagination is as wild as mine, somewhere you can even see yourself, a happy place to go to when the game is glitching or a special area you've spent that little extra time designing.
It could be a chapel with a rose-lined path, a petting zoo with some of the smaller mystery animals, a garden outside your cabin or even somewhere you just feel typifies your homestead.
It also means you don't have to worry about those pesky areas of debris you're saving for the expansion and you can even hide the fact you're a chicken farmer if you really want to... Or you could send in a picture of a homestead full of them and suggest it's your happy place... but then we'll all think you're a little weird.

There is only one rule about the shot you take, and that is it must be taken with your homestead at the closest possible zoom, just what you see at the magnification level you get when first starting the homestead up, you can, however, open up the homestead full screen.
If you'll allow me I'll share mine with you. At the back of my homestead I have what the more practical homesteader would class wasted space.
From my cabin across to my "industrial area" where the foundry and sawmill are I've got a pathway, and I've turned it into an orchard garden type area. Fruit trees line one side and flowers line the other. There's a bench I could easily picture myself sitting on and gazing contentedly across my animal area just below. (Before anyone suggests something untoward, I'd argue from where I'd be sat Bess would be hidden behind the barn...)
So that, ladies and gentlemen is my happy place, and we'd love to know yours.
The same general set-up would be in place as for the recent homestead contest. Take a screengrab and post it to our Facebook Wall for entry by ??INSERT DATE??. Once the entry time is finished we'll put all the photos in an album and fans, friends and fellow pioneers will get to like the one they feel is the best.
One slight difference this time is we'd like you to write down a paragraph or two on why you think this piece of Frontier territory is your favourite, a story, a heartfelt plea, a simple estate agent description of why you did it... Just your own thoughts on the entry.
