Graphics from the amazing community of course, and mostly works fine in my context.

1. Wood, scrub, wetland and a small plant nursery field middle top, near Faaborg, Denmark. Oh, and not the "mountain" peaks - text only display 😉

2. Vineyards, orchards, wood, Pitesti, Romania.

3. Wetland, wood, Le Verdon Sur Mer, France (north of Bordeaux). As far as wetlands, the schema fails to use the wetland=* tag to add a subclass, so there is only one of the patterns in use (so far? 😇) - wetmeadow, mangrove, marsh, reedbeed etc are all the same for now.

Due to the way renders the patterns - they are applied at whole zoom steps, then scaled, those meant for sand, scree and such does not make sense. But for the rest, I find this beautiful, and it does actually work quite smoothely!

The ones in south france are

```
natural=water
water=lagoon
wetland=saltmarsh.
```

while in the wadden sea it is

```
natural=wetland
wetland=saltmarsh
```

Room for improvement, ...

This pattern could probably be adjusted for my color scheme.

And note a small pattern of saltmarsh in the bottom - at least one subclass of wetland exist in ! Then, why not more??
