A new update, a year after my last CJ-entry! Sorry it took so long :)

Click on the images to enlarge them.


“All the leaves are brown, and the sky is grey”

We're going to leave the city, the stress, and the concrete today. We take the highway and drive until the end of the road.

We enter the highway in Zuidmonde, and we leave the industry and pollution behind.

After a few miles, we arrive at the interchange in the sleepy town of Heuvelland. We take the calm highway to Wendt.

The government of Vloesem has modernized the electrical grid, in recent years, and made electricity production greener. Wind turbines like these can now be found everywhere in the country.

Baaiegem is the last town with more than 5000 inhabitants we pass. The local interchange has been improved to handle the traffic.

While we approach the end of the highway, the landscape becomes more and more empty...

Everything has an end, and so does this highway. We take the national road to Heule.

Heule is the last town on the peninsula, this is the only road you can take to get there. In case of heavy snowfall, the small town is isolated during winter.

The road ends here. Arrived at our destination! Let's enjoy the beauty of autumn.


I hope you enjoyed his entry, if so, please comment and give me a thumbs up! Thanks! :)

I enjoyed the photos of the wind turbines and the road winding through the valley. Very good realism from both of those pictures.

Nice entry! But I can't feel that the mountains look so much like the ones in SC2013 :P

Nicely done. Love the way you've laid out your interchanges.  I noticed the traffic was a bit heavy in the wind turbine pic. hey, it just makes one slow down and enjoy the view,

I always enjoy watching your interchanges! I have learned a lot from them!

Excellent journal, really enjoy the "scenic route".

I love your style of building, the autumn foliage is grand as is the train yard!

One (small) criticism though: in the picture titled Everything has an end, and so does this highway... you've got an odd kink where the RHW-4 meets the roundabout. I'd probably recommend that it'd look better if you converted the RHW-4 to a RHW-2, and then end the RHW at the roundabout.

Mmm, yeah, I know. I usually don't use that transition, I've never really liked the RHW4 to RHW2-transition. But I'll see if it looks better :)
