Vandals Fjella

Wow your region absolutely nice. I love the style of buildings also. Keep it up.

Amount of my new BATs is incredible (doing some more dia-corners)! Are you trying to suck me Glenn-Glenn? But this is great, maybe too dark for some reason, but GREAT. The small village which had no roads, never seen anything like that. But maybe you should play the game less and make some BATs..

[pipishere 3]

Some really great updates you have there! Love the little village....very quaint!

Shingure:   Thanks.

Krio. Oh thy mighty soured milk, forgive me for i have sinned, i have been playing games mre than using thee mighty BATe!

Pipishere: Thanks, mate, i also got a new village/town to show in this update!

This update i'll be showing some pics of Sylteosen, a small town in the middle of the countryside, with a little bit of farming surrounding it, please don't mind my poor way of making farms though, not exactly an expert at it, and i can't use too much custom content farms either, because either the farm stuff is Mediterranian, or American, evenAsian... :'(

But oh well.. Some overviews:

As you can, there's roads from all times here, The double lane road replaced the old 1/5 lane road in 1965

Before that you had to either use the 1/5 lane road, or the very narrow 1 lane road leading into the town.

The 1 lane road is old. Even older than the town itself. it even dates back to year 800. When this town used to be a very important trading spot, in the viking era, though those are long gone times, now the town is just mostly popular among tourists and people from the Lavanger or Vandals Fjella urban area who are after having a good time at the local pubs, buy some fresh poatotes, strawberries, or other things on the local outdoor market,  it sure is a break from the usual supermarket. The oldest houses there date back to the 1700's.

This farm here often left in the shadows of the mountain , is called Granlia , it's not always in the dark, but sometimes get the shadows from the mountain, at times like this, it's like a portal between night and day there.

Apple Plantations such as these as you see up  in the picture, are quite common in the countryside here, this one is rather small, but just wait till you see the fruit and apple plantations further along the fjords!

Nothing much to say here...

And here you can see more of the old road, it's still pretty popular and widely used, mostly because it's got a more scenic view than the 2 lane road, and it's more relaxing than just speeding past the little village in 80kmh...

Oh, wait there's something suspicious going on in the forrest there by the house, we'll get back to that.. &Thk/(

In the meantime, why not just take a closer look at the charming little town?

Some of it was set on fire by a pyromaniac in the 1960's, so it has later on been replaced by newer buildings. The newest from 1995, those are the rowhomes.

From the opposite view, you got the small streets lined with small houses , and also a small patch of asphalt for truckers to park their trucks to get some sleep.

From the bottom; the historic parts, this is the oldest part of town ,This is where it get's lively in the summer times at night, where young people from the cities come for a visit and sometimes go on a complete wrecking tour.

Here's a smaller picture, of the market stalls and fountain.

And here you can see the historic part from the top, the newer buildings aren't at all as popular as the old ones.

It's actually where the lower wealth businesses are, like kebab places, second hand shops, and even seedy types.

Just 50 metres away from the little cluster of houses, there's the town's local memorial for world war 2, it's a house that got bombed because that a bunch of Jewish people hid there, and one of the local tailors ratted them out and told the Germans. For a sum of $40 to todays current rates, over 30 people lost their lives because of that man.

So anyway, back to the suspicious activity in the woods:

Aha, illegal arms deals! Tsk tsk tsk, SFBT, Oh well, let em carry on, i ain't gonna bother calling the filth... (No pun intented, just a little joking to liven it up a little) :thumbsup:

The ferry terminal on the other side, this one crosses the end of the fjord, named Ellnesvågen.

I decided not to to show the other side of the ferry route, for obvious reasons; it looks exactly the same!!!!

Expansion;

I'm expanding my CJ, it now includes a new section called North Vandals Fjella.(It's still the same country, it's not two seperate countries!)

Also some parts of this region borders Sweden and Russia. ( As Norway does in real life.)

Here's a few teasers from what i have been working on.

We'll take a trip to North Western Russia:

Severomorsk a small city started in the 1950's Soviet Era.As many other Soviet cities this one was planned,and the streets are very rectangular.

Poljarnyj, a small village close to the Vandals Fjellian border.

Prosperity, or should we say Neglectance?

Please note that names,cities,roads,rails or anything are not supposed to be geographically correct.

Everything you see here, except for the Freight Rail Station, and power lines are also my lotting work by the way.

Some of the props seen here, like the propaganda signs, are also mine.

Nice custom lots and so far best looking Russian town in CJs. Though I haven't read much of them yet.

[Mike the Mayor 51]

Wonderful pictures! Those small streets work really well with the buildings, but, where did you get them from?

Great work.

[Q-Tips 37]

I'll been lurking around for a while, and find Vandalsfjella very inspiring. I love the way you have an eye for details, your fantasy but tough your realism. And you plop the forrest so great.

By the way, i see your home town did beat Start football club in the cup and are off to the quarter final now. That was a little shocker, and i loved it. I hope Haugesund will go all the way. Who knows, maybe they'll play against my hometown club Troms

[penguin007 27]

Thats a great region and I love the russian part of it looks very communist

Will

[BlondeTwiggy 43]

Good work

[bokrif 18]

And not too far from the square is a nice pier.

And here's a small public campaign by the Department of Transport, it means "remember to use your seatbelt"

Also, here's some pics from the Russian/Vandals Fjellian border.

And, hehe these signs are all over the place it seems.

Some old soviet stuff on the russian side..

And this is, beleive it or not, a small bus terminal... :
