I apologize for how long it has been since my last entry. The near year has kept me busy so far, but I have managed to briefly plan on some expansion in Abbey while revisiting Dewey and even starting a small, polar side project.

The shot above is the area next on my list of expansion. I've hit the western border of the 25 tiles and am now looking to expand across the river. Right now, the plan is to actually start more toward the east border rather than expanding across the river immediately.

The Eastside has a lot of potential and some amazing landscape, such as this estuary.

Seen from a distance, you can see how cool the estuary is. I'm planning on keeping it how it is but will probably put a bike pedestrian path along the bluff above the river.

I had to build the highway that cuts through this part of the map. The nice thing is that it will alleviate some of the bottle-necking that is occurring on the highway into Abbey's main industrial complex.

Right now, I don't have anything planned for the island. I'm thinking a small residential area and maybe some farms. I thought about making it a big industrial shipping area, but I'm a little partial to the pristine conditions currently in place.

It's not much in the way of planning as it is in the way of rough-scale idea. But before I end this entry, I thought you all might enjoy some random images from other places. This is Dewey Dell, currently dealing with frigid temperatures that have caused difficulties for the river traffic and some some in the higher elevations.

Here is a picture from a currently unnamed dell in the polar regions. They're in the midst of the long night that is known to last for months at a time.

The icy cold weather doesn't stop the citizens from enjoying the waterfront either.

Well, I hope you've enjoyed this entry. Hopefully, I will be able to post some progress for Abbey's expansion this next week.

As always, feel free to like, rate, and comment!

Looking at the city in the distance with that green tower makes me think of the Wizard of Oz and the Emerald City.
