The names just seem to fit so well. Nothing too ostentatious, nothing too generic. Can't wait to see what develops. I especially like the Viridis Mountains (well done Rayden... citizenship is certainly deserved for that one). But I'm still curious (as from my previous post) how you get your pictures to have that certain shine to them: whether it is a photoshop adjustment or something else. At any rate, hoping to see the fruits of the competition soon in the form of more fantastic updates. (and just out of curiousity did I have any decent names?)

Hey, I was just stopping by to check out the latest updates i've missed, and I am still blown away by how great everything looks!  I really like the official seal you made, and I think the new, back to basics look is excellent!

    Good evening all!  Time for update 40!  39.gif

    Update 40sealofgdji1.jpg

    Today we are looking at Green Depra's newest city... Barton Lakes!  Thanks Owenluby for the great name!

    cityintroog4.jpg

    Barton Lake's first development was based around a small pub, known as Bartons Inn dotted out around it are a collection of houses, shops and the rail station.

    I must say, out of all my Green Depra updates, this is my personal favorite mosaic.  Just look at that terrain!

    There is a small reservoir which catches all the water which flows into that valley, it provides water and a place for the locals to swim!

    Simfan34 Hey, it will come tomorrow!

    Justanothersim86 Yep, I was very happy with them!  Cheers mate.

    Threestooges Oh, your names made it to the shortlist!  I really liked them, in fact they just didn't make it.  But that doesn't mean I won't use them in the future!  I'm glad you liked the name!  Oh, and I just tweak the contrast a bit in photoshop.  Cheers mate.

    Seemurray2 Thanks!  I'm glad you liked my new style and the update!  Cheers mate!

    JoeMeister Thanks for opening page 44!

    Great update and nice mosaics!

    I've a question: What water-mod are you using? and it is the new terrain mod from Cycledogg, isn't it?

    Edit: ...and what beach mod are you using?

    That is the greatest update for a CJ I've seen in a while! You are certainly the greatest when it comes to environments that are clean and extremely gorgeous! If this is how good you are in-game, you must do something or other to help our real Earth. Recycle? Bike to school/work? Drive a hybrid? TopCliff

    Hey, choco, glad to see you back! All of your mosaics look beautiful as always, and my favorite mosaic is your favorite mosaic because of the fact that it looks like you shot it at ground level; so how did you do that? Anyway, I am also proud to say that this is my

    That's it. I'm taking a DT McMansion (the Chadwell style) in Barton Lakes. Oh. My!

    Looks like even Green Depra can be greener! Barton Lakes are really nice...

    The mosaic which start with the water and some trees - I must admit, first I thought it's a real-life photo! The water looks like the sky and CP trees are amazingly realistic. That was a funny impression 3.gif

    Beautiful! I must say the Olympus terrain mod is spectacular...and really contrasts the red brick streets and the red roofs of the euro tileset...

    I must say, I loved that 2nd last mosaic....did a double take; the water almost passed for sky in that shot. Looks beautiful!

    That 4th mosaic was breathtaking. for a second I thought it was real... with the water slowly giving way to the shore... perfect. The new terrain looks good. I tried it out on my own region, but somehow it didn't quite fit. Maybe the next one I make... but I digress (as usual). Great use of SG's canals for the reservoir. Incidentally, did you change your water mod, or is it just the terrain that makes it look different? Beautiful update.
