The Sylon Valley, 2013-2014 (pt. 1)
Oh boy, it's been a reeeeeeally long while. Apologies for the lack of updates, but I got really sucked into creating parking lots of all things. 
Got my fingers crossed that there won't be such a gap for next time.

@takemethere: Thanks! I think the region shots are probably on the top of my list of favorite things about SC4. Nothing speaks to me more than seeing that view of a sprawling metropolis, and the sheer scale is something that I definitely don't get with other city builder out there.
@Ln X: Thank you! Those days of getting those stage 15 buildings surely defined my experience.
@DavidDHetzel, @MilitantRadical, @gviper, @Compdude787: Thanks for the comments!
@kschmidt: I did have a slope mod, but I configured it so it was less restrictive at first. At the same time, I also wasn't very good with public transportation or rail networks which is why you didn't see much of it there.
To the Southern End We Go!
During sometime in 2013, I had this terrific idea of tacking on an entire region onto my current one, having not even gotten close to finishing. And thus, the southern half, Avalon, was born.
We start our tour with the Sylon Valley/Sylon Lake County, located in the southwestern corner of the region.
1.
2. Immediately south of Sylon Lake City is the Sylon River Valley, which is home to sprawling acres of farms. These farmers grow practically everything.
3. Wildflowers, tobacco and even pills. Pills. My first foray with the then brand new draggable FA roads from NAM 31 (?)
4. Moving closer to the suburbs. I've finally begun to get comfortable with the RHW at this time, after using MHW for practically an eternity.
5. A small creek passes under the main freeway.
6. The small industrial town of Riverville, due east of Sylon Lake City.
7. Moving further up the hills from Riverville is the small town of Onepa, under the shadow of the Titan mountain range.
8. The town center...
9. ...and surrounding residential areas.
10. Despite the steep and hilly terrain, there are small pockets of fairly flat land where farmers have settled in.
11.
Moving into the city! Yellowrock is the most prominent suburb of Sylon Lake City, located at the foothill of the Titan mountain range.
12. Following the A-15 route from A-305 junction into the approach towards Sylon Lake City.
13. My first dosage of MMP work and power lines. Also some people really have too much time on their hands to come and TP a house this far out.
14. The suburban center of Yellowrock.
15.
Welcome to Sylon Lake City! I was in the process of performing some transformation to the city somewhat recently. Unfortunately the city is prop poxed and thus my efforts were halted.
16. The A-15 running through downtown.
17. A snapshot of Sylon airport, which services the surrounding region.
18. There isn't really much else here to write home about, so here's a quick overview of the city.
19. A nighttime shot.
20. Finally have a bonus almost 4-tile composite image that I made sometime last year:
Next time we'll move on to explore the Southeastern coastline!
