Casanares

[Jerebannus XVI 7]

Cowcorn: Thank you very much!

Jeallosex: hey, lol well governments will go far to remove the "low wealth" tag/label of poor areas . As for the teaser you'll see the actual picture below. It's nice to see you around again

Going2Chicago: Hey! Thanks for such nice comments, it really does boost my confidence. As for the trees in between the houses, that's wha South American residential areas look like, lots of trees.btw i'll be making a tutorial on how to do that, there is an art to it but it's really easy. Thanks once again

crazychickensc12: thanks a lot, at first I thought the pond.lak would turn out ugly, but actually people seem to be liking it.

Yoman3: Lol, actually the median age for Assembly Members is 52, the youngest member is 24! Young people have a high chance of making it into politics at a very young age in Casanares. It's all about the equality policies of the Socialist government. As for the teaser, you'll see it below, it'll be the first picture of tonight's update. Thanks a lot for vitisng again yoman

salut221: Thank you, I will certainly keep it up, cheers for the encouragement

Cjah: Oh wow! nice to see you around again comrade, lol. Also may I thank you for encouraging people to post, I really appreciate it dude. Thanks for the nice praise, I like it how everybody is mentioning the use of custom content, especially trees, that's exactly the effect I want to reflect here. hehe, yeah those great guys at the HSRP did an awesome job, those bridges are amazing, I'm very grateful that they've replaced that ugly default monorail, lol. And as for the city...and nature, that's exactly what South American cities are like...also I like the fact that you mention the word 'flavour'. Cheers cjah!

Jacquilina: Welcome back jaqcui, nice to see you around again. Also thanks so much for the great comment.

waldner: Thanks! I'm glad you posted here

Charles Rudolfo: hehe, I actually use one of the blurring filters and then I fade it to a certain level. You too take care and thanks for th comment Charles

bat: Thanks, hope to see you around again.

mightygoose: well it's never to late to spot a good cj, and as you say it's still early days and I can guarantee you that this cj will stay here for a long time..

pepsi: Hey thanks for calling my cj realistic, I really appreciate it, yeah mate, keep learning how to use photoshop, I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out pretty soon, just as you did with the database programme, you self taught yourself and that is an awesome quality to have, the speed to learn skills. Thanks again.

Alek: Hey dude, nice to see you again, hehe, the look of this cj is South American of course with Alekingian influences too thanks for visiting my humble cj.

Leech10: Thanks!

Sim Shady: hehe, well my city has both, griddy and non-griddy areas, but I'm glad you liked it and that my cj was an exception for you. That's some pretty high praise. Thanks

Pat: hey Pat I'm glad you finally visited, I'll send you the information you requested tomorrow, hope it's not too late to do that. Thanks for visiting.

Mikeaut: lol, I too happen to love mid rise sprawls, that's a characteristic of most south american cities. hehe I love paying attention to the little details, even though it takes time, it pays off...yeah photoshop has been of great help to edit the images, it adds that "extra something"

Slanny: hey matie! I'm glad you visit again, wow that's an awesome comment, really like a confidence booster, I'm honoured. thanks mate!

Update 7:

Crevillente Industrial Area

Los Puentes de Golán (The Golan Bridges)

First off, here's the actual image that I showed as a teaser.

Visible is the Golán Arena, the Golán Bridges, the Ontario Tower and Golán Shopping Mall. The Ontario Tower is the HQ of one of the largest foreign corporations in Casanares, however, by law, the workers of the company have the right to own up to 51% of the company's operations in Casanares, but as of now, only 34% is owned by the employees. Bottom left is the Telesur Channel Observation Tower, it has the main news studio of the country. Crevillente Industrial area is also visible.

This is a mosaic showing the residential areas "beyond" Crevillente industrial area. The whole industrial estate employs around 30,000 people. Quality of air is clean because industrial activity is mainly of a high-tech nature. The estate is also home to a small port which brings in mainly food and clothes to the city.

This one's only small I made a mistake when resizing the mosaic

The Golán Bridges and the Golán entertainment area

La Quinta Tinta, leading up to the Golán entertainment complex

Crevillente Industrial Area, for better appreciation

Los Puentes de Golán, these bridges are a major city landmark as well as an important throughfare.

Golán entertainment area clearly visible^^^

And now tonight's bonus, the latest edition of La Cronica Alternativa, with a special coverage of the Aleuntisyera Crisis facing the SCJU and most recently the great nation of Dominea.

[vester_DK 477]

Just stunning. Really have no other words to descipe it.

WOW. Keep it coming.

[SpecialEddie 3]

The double bridges are simply phenomenal! The industrial sector is clean looking--still retains that Buenos Aires feel! I am enjoying the pictures--so MUCH DETAIL! Stunning work--with the Paris W2W houses--and great use of Jeronij's tower on the pier--something I like to do myself. The colors blend in perfectly and the night shots exhibit perfectly the wonderful custom BATs!

[RushHourFreak 1]

Excellient use of trees, definetely a true urban planning, that CRONICA ALTERNATIVA is gorgeous, and the pics are victorious. <congratulations, you've got a city desgned to heaven

[StegSC 40]

This CJ is incredible, keep it up!

[S1acker 0]

Wow, Im stunned. Its amazing how you can make Industrial areas so beautifull. This CJ continually puts a smile on my face . I also like the "Santa Eufrasia 2006, Back the bid", thats a really nice touch.

[Camedia 0]

Welcome to page 5

Your harbor looks amazing

Good idea to mix your industry in your town, I just make industrial citys and non industrial citys... you can really see the difference on my region

[gerAndi 29]

the moasics are great too and the old town and so and in general awesome work keep it^^

Update 8

El Barrio Chio (China Town)

Varied mosaics

China Town

Click on picture to see the full sized pano

The vibrancy of China Town is clearly visible, especially at night.

This is a small district close to China Town and is mainly inhabited by Casanareans of Chinese descent who immigrated to the country in the 1960s. This area is also home to their vibrant businesses.

At night

BONUS!!!

At night

Mass housing, this is one of the most heavily populated districts of the city

An important government building, Torre Miramar is the headquarters of the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change, one of the most heavily budgeted ministries in the Casanarean cabinet swalling up to Ú4 billion a year. The current minister of the environment and climate change is Leonardo Vallejo; former head of Greenpeace Casanares.

At night

Autopista de Casanares 1 (AC1) one of the city's most important motorways, it passes downtown straight accross San Martín River and into the Santa Eufrasia Refinery (not yet shown)

and at night

And lastly, here's a teaser of Santa Eufrasia's oldest CDB, built in the 60s before the city's massive expansion eastward where the new CDB is currently located, by the coast. This centre still remains highly important.

That's it for now folks, hope you enjoy it

The highway on ramps, the elevated rail pieces, the seawalls.. It's all perfect.. Wow.. Very inspirational, my friend.. Very inspirational!
