For a quick response; Thank you everybody for your messages, and those I can go more in depth I will :P

Wow. Did you hand-plop all those trees? That's dedication if you did! Looks great. :)

Thanks MaskedBandit, means a lot for me to get a comment from a RCT legend (though that don't really matter in a different game ;)). And yes all those trees, and everything else you see there, are lovingly hand-plopped, nothing grown here.

Love that Ying. The pictures are very detailed. I think you may want to try to increase shadow detail before taking your pictures though. It would really improve some of the open field shots. By the way, is that a float plane in that field? :P

Thank you Ace, and I have done that (I think can't remember) for this...either that or medium setting xD. And yes it is a float plane, but you ever heard of imagination or an amphibious plane :P Cessnas can land on both land and sea after all :P

Now lets get to the good bit!

We start on the eastern shore of the river in Bastilia, called the River Vearsaile, and this is rather south of the CBD near the branching off of the rivers, this little plaza here is one of the main attractions in this area, with the old church standing in front of the newly built tower that you see, only built in 2012.

Here is another view of the area, showing the prominent reason why this is a major attraction, Church Lane, being the equivalent of Saville Row in London, with only the poshest of shops, though there is still spaces for the poshest of AIN companies ;)

But with the major retail area of the section, there is also the beginnings of the residential area of Bastilia, bordering the suburb of Islington, and as you can expect, like Church Lane, they are some of the most expensive retail in the area (though not THE most expensive in Bastilia).

And here is Islington's claim to fame, the home stadium for the AIN Club League Islington Wolves called the Sp33d Sports Stadium, seating just under 42,000, opposing it is a row of apartments which have been known to be the exact opposite to the houses just across the river of it, which is really cheap because of the rowdyness of football crowds, in the shot you can also see Islington Railway Station, a part of the Capital Railways network and just around 5 mins from the nearest station in the city.

And because I have not much else to say, here are some other complementary images of Islington, including council housing, industry, a stop in the ERBus network and a lot more residential houses. See you again soon.

The first picture says that the tower was built in 2012, but I looks like it was built in the fifties Apart from that, stunning
