Update 85 - Martin County Park System: Northside Part 1
Welcome to the Martin County Park System. Today I will showcase nine parks from the northside (of Brittany River). I hope you enjoy the tour.
Peach Park, located on the northwest side between West Fremont Road, North 34th Street, West Chambers Street, and North 37th Street. You may not realize it, but this picture is a composite of pictures from three different city tiles. I actually messed up the alignment of the bike path, but did a little editing in the photo editor instead of going back and fixing the problem. Then I had some fun with the perspective tool.
Sunport Park, located on the very south side of the City of Trinity, just north of I-55 and West Clement Avenue. It is bordered by North Frontier Hills Drive, North Locknell Drive, and West Sun Port Lane.
Henne Park, located just south of Henne Park Medical Center, bordered by West Townshend Avenue, North 29th Street, West Concordia Avenue, and North 32nd Street. At this point, I started to learn that in order to use the perspective tool well, I needed to stitch together multiple mosaics horizontally in order to provide enough material for a picture to be taken.
Concordia Park, located between North Clement Avenue and I-55, bordered by West Concordia Avenue, North Clybourn Avenue, North 18th Street, West Morgan Avenue, and North 21st Street. The normal SimCity perspective seems a little boring now, doesn't it?
Rutland Park, located between West Locust Street, North 13th Street, West Bayleaf Avenue, North Clement Avenue, and North 16th Street. This picture took at least four or five mosaics from two bordering tiles composited together. If you really look closely, you can see where the composite is not perfect due to terrain differences, cut off shadows, etc.
Morgan Park, located just south of Ulysses Rutland High School, bordered by West Morgan Avenue, North 6th Street, West Orchard Avenue, and North 7th Street. Another "boring" Sim City perspective picture, haha.
Lookout Park, located across the street from Eternal Rest Cemetery, bordered by West Fremont Road, North 14th Street, West Vine Street, and North 16th Street. This picture is a composite from four different city tiles. Unfortunately, it is brutally apparent that I did not match up the grass between the west tiles and the east tiles...oh well...I'm lazy
Clara Park, located in the City of Jefferson, bordered by West Henry Avenue, Austin Avenue, West Fulton Avenue, and Tripoli Street. We just saw this park within the last two updates.
Erie Park, located in the City of Jefferson, bordered by West Hudson Avenue, Lenox Street, West Fremont Road, and Pryor Avenue. I believe we saw this park at night in the last update.
You are here.
I planned to show ALL the parks of the Martin County Park System, but I've barely scratched the surface, since I really focused on hiding the borders. Many of my parks are located on the edges of maps and in some cases cover the corners of 4 different tiles! Luckily, I've now got making mosaics and composites down to a science, haha. I am working on a mosaic/composite of the Orchard Creek Parkway. Discovering a good use for the perspective tool has really opened up possibilities for showing off more of my city in a much different way than just mosaics. A mosaic is just a slice up and down the Sim City perspective, but with the perspective tool I can see more area than just that slice. I'm really looking forward to showing off the whole parkway all at once!
Tell me what you think...oh, who am I kidding, of course you will tell me what you think of the perspectives and the composites. Looking forward to the conversation.
Check out the District of Wenzel Street Map to get an idea where we are.
