Zinfandel : Impressions

tariely

573 Views

P. R. 's week-end in Zinfandel was coming to a close, the buzz of the Big City was getting too loud for her country girl's ears. She was ready to leave, with a jumble of impressions stored in her mind (and camera). First : clean, that city is clean, Switzerland-like clean. Even both its dumps are clean, though they partly process the garbage of  Eden Bay -- there has been talk of closing the big one down, P. R. has been told. Which would be silly, so the Mayor stands firm. But at least people really don't mind living near them.

Or close to the waterworks, for that matter :

The East Market rail station :

The Mayor's posh mansion, near the regal City Courthouse :

The bunkery City Hall, with the Central Balthazar Market, and the university

Central Station by night (Nocturnals can have a drink there at any hour, it never closes.)

And that's from there that P. R. not bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, went back to Kathy Vale... going... going... gone -- she snored all the way back and almost missed her stop.

Very nice, except something is up with that train station in the last pic. It appears to extend on top of another building and my brain can't figure out how it's doing that. Anyway, great work.

There is a commercial building close to it but the perspective makes it appear closer than it really is, I think. But thanks !

 

EDIT : No, I see it now (I'm so blind !) , you're right, MIlitant Radical. It might be a screen artefact... mmmm. Should verify that, change the angle...Yup, perspective artefact ; one of those annoying bats that cannot be shot under certain angles...  See pictures under the right angle, (I cut the offending one:-)

The second pic- the one with the railroad siding- may be the nicest SC4 image I've seen this year.  It just works for me for some reason.

I'm glad you like it, David. I do to (perhaps the little houses in the green along the railway line and the rail curve, and the balance of green and the rest ?) Sometimes I wonder why I choose to take this picture and not that one... Eh.

Thanks. Utilities and Services may be less glamorous than, say, the MAPP or giganormous skycrapers, but... I like them too:-)))
