This puzzle was made last year for the OUCH! Series presented on CTC server.
Rules:
- Normal 9x9 Sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1-9 exactly once in every row, column and 3x3 box.
- Tents a.k.a. Camping: Trees, represented by the digit 9, are determined by the solver. A clue given outside the grid represents the sum of the digits in tent cells in the corresponding row or column. Pair each tree (digit 9) in the grid with a tent, which occupies an orthogonally adjacent cell. Tents may not touch one another, not even diagonally. Some cells are surrounded by dotted lines, called "lakes". Tents and trees cannot be in a lake cell.
- Lakes: Digits cannot repeat in a lake. The digits in a lake sum to the value in the top left, if given.
Example (Trees are the digit 1 in the example):

A very fun puzzle, I liked the restriction being related to a cell adjacent to a rule's digit.
I plan on setting a Sudoku with a similarly built rule and your Sudoku helped me gain some more constructive ideas, thank you.
