I am trying to put together a proposal for the introduction of a 'trim trail' on local bushland but I am having trouble sourcing images.
The local 'friends of....' association will need to won over given the proposed site's nature reserve status and so I need to illustrate how I envisage the apparatus being blended in with the natural surrounds.
To blend in with the surrounding flora, each 'exercise station' will be constructed from local treated wood, with minimal use of other materials such as steel and plastic.
I thought I might be able to find plenty of images that I could cut and paste into a photographic walk-through of the bush trail but I can only find garish and wholly inappropriate painted and powder-coated metal examples.
I have seen the site of a supplier of this type of gear, who has seemingly made use of some software to create the wood effect but I wouldn't know where to start.
Can anyone help me with ideas and suggestions? What about if I could 'draw' them electronically, is there anyone who might be able to map a timber effect onto them, for instance?
Just do an image search of 'fitness trail equipment' or 'trim trail equipment' for a few examples of the what I mean.
