Sunv, agunter99

agunter is correct...the chimney is a park landmark left from previous times...and the paths leading to nowhere are just a design cue of the park...the fact that there are no paths around the statue area is to preserve the british lawn look

So, what are the crossroads, you may ask? The question is not what 'are,' but what 'is.'

Located between King's Village and the Central Business District, and across the street from the Royal Palace, lies the beautiful and historic St. Thomas Cathedral and Square. In addition to Christian services, the site also hosts occasional market days and other public events. Since having to say St. Thomas Cathedral and Square is quite a mouthful, the site has been given an alternative name...Crossroads...or 'Cross'roads. The name is quite symbolic for several reasons. The cathedral and square are in fact the middle points between the two districts, and 'cross' also applies to the cathedral. When the square is being used as a venue, it is then that it is typically referred to as Crossroads. For example, an artist may be performing 'live at Crossroads.' Otherwise, most refer to it by its real name, which is much more elegant and sophisticated...or is it?

St. Thomas Cathedral and Square are part of the

English Heritage registry.

The city and effects go hand in hand amazingly! :D I'm really getting this surreal and very captivating feeling from your images. They look amazingly realistic with the effects and city layout you've presented.

The Guangzhou tower is one of my all-time favorite BATs.  Great usage here.  I like the mixture of new and traditional looking buildings, too.  The effects in your pictures are all fabulous as always!

Absolutely brilliant!! 11/10

 

I really enjoy the postcards from St. Thomas Cathedral and Square :)

 

I am very interested in 3 lots: St. Thomas Cathedral, the square and the other building with the dome and spire (3rd and 8th pic)

Would you mine sharing where you got them from?

Thanks :)  :)

The ridiculously high quality of all the models, the scenes, the atmosphere and the photo-editing effects make each image sooooooooooo realistic and almost some great HD wallpapers for mobile devices (the awesome fact is that they are capable to), which are just brilliant!
