Let's see some pictures of the historic quarter!

Coming from the airport to the city center, this is probably the first thing you will see after stepping out of the train. Railroad Avenue is usually busy, but it doesn't look like that today.

A massive underground transport hub lets commuters and tourists alike to have a confortable way. Commuter rail, metro, buses, regional buses and light rail meet on the beautiful-but-expensive terminal building designed by Santiago Calatrava.

Not too far from the station, The Triangle shopping mall can be found. It has rapidly become one of the places to be for the young and hip barnanovese. Videogames, books, music records and movies take up the whole mall.

The Barnanovese Navy avenue boasts a long array of cafés and bars to have a relaxed drink with friends.

The streets closer to St. Claudia's cathedral are surprisingly quiet. Normally, the quietness is broken by groups of tourists flocking to admire this marvel of gothic architecture and the prices of the really expensive stores nearby.

Lots of barnanovese were outraged when the beautiful old stock exchange building was demolished to build the new one. Some find it as a drab big blue prism.

Instead, the Ambassadors' Building fits quite nicely on its environment. Al-Qurayyah, and other middle-eastern and nordic nations have their embassies here.

The statue of the former Prince Jaume IV was erected just a few months after his death. Really expensive luxury shops can be found on this area of the historic quarter.

Paris Square had never been a very popular spot in the historic quarter, until the city of Paris gave Barnanova a present. This present was an obelisk, that nowadays stands on this square. One of the favorite places for the instagrammers.

Not much student activity on the University Square today. The University of Barnanova has campuses and buildings scattered throughout the nation, but the central building on the City is the most promienent facility.

A massive barnanovese flag waves at the center of the circle considered to be the center of the nation, the center of the principality. In front of this circle stands the main building of the government of Barnanova.

Great use of the Parisian BATs and the modern buildings stick out like a sore thumb but in a good way.

Great showcase, your city looks great and your region shot is amazing. I love it, especially how well placed it all is. I also think  your photoshop edits are good as well, though your tilt shift is a bit off. Other than that though, I would like to make one critique, I would suggest not using the lens flare, at least not on so many of the pics. Maybe one of them at most. I really don't think it fits the design of SC4. I mean you only see lens flares from very bright objects, you wouldn't see it from a reflection of some glass.

Nothing else ? aaaawwww. I want more. I like the modern European feel of this, the mix of old and new style buildings and the way the traffic grid seems to have been laid (and the map is a challenging one. I would love to see how you would finish it...)
