It has been a while...

Lost Realist

... but I have a new harvest to show you and this time, it's huge. I hope you still enjoy these even after the long break, as much as I enjoyed creating them. I have enough pictures for two updates this time... (:

We left off as we entered Away, so here's this small town without any commentary. Away sits right on the edge of a city tile and wound up being seperated, so an overview shot of the entire city may follow at some point but not now...

(Sorry for the mouse pointer in this one...)

Moving on to the northern tile, going west - east.

Sprawly (:

The next picture bears a little bit of importance. The road that branches off of northern Away's central avenue is F-85, the longest Federal Road in the region. Federal roads are above local roads and avenues but below highways hierarchy-wise and serve medium to long local distances within a region or across region borders.

So we'll move east along F-85...

... and leave Away with it.

I guess that's enough for today, I still have plenty of things to show you the next few days. Please leave some comments for me if you enjoy this or have suggestions and ideas, any sort of feedback is welcome. Sorry for the long break, I hope I can make up for it. (:

In other news, I've been thinking of moving from the CJ Blog-section to the forum and create a thread, I think that might be easier to maintain but I'm not married to the idea yet. Y/N?

I really enjoy what you're going for here, but I would suggest some more mmp's, or, ploppable flora. Like grasses and shrubs. Those would really bring some of your empty spaces to life especially with how close your shots are.

I appreciate the thought and I'll admit that I did get a little lazy with it in these pictures. The journey I'll post tomorrow however might be a little more up your alley. (:

And thanks everyone else for their comments as well, I enjoy them greatly. (:

great entry! Where do you get those reflective posts by the road in your last pic?

 

as a viewer, i much prefer CJ's in this blog format, as opposed to in the forum. it makes it much easier for new readers to go back on old entries and shorter loading times as well, especially if there are two (olr more) entries on the same page in the forum.

The reflective posts are part of VIPs european road sign mmp pack: http://community.simtropolis.com/files/file/27080-vip-european-road-signage-frenchtype/

I use these a lot, the reflective posts are in the last MMP group in the menu.

And you're probably right about the blog section. I also decided I might stay here for a little longer.
