Hi everyone!

Here is the sequel of my last update with some mosaics. I think it's what I will do in my next updates: one bunch of 'normal' pictures, and then some mosaics, because what's better than this for showing a city? *;)

Without more useless talk, here are the pictures:

21. ALIJSTAR - THE VENICE OF THE NORTH: THE MOSAICS

1. The Cathedral and some old residential neighbourhood:

2. From top to bottom: the Old Harbour Station and its brand new office buildings, the 'Hertogsvaart' (Duke's canal), the Municipal Theatre, the 'Arsenaal' (another canal, the name comes from its former military allocation) and the Grand Moulins Museum. (Yes, the canals on the upper left are connected to the harbour!)

3. St. Peter's Church, 'Hertogsvaart', 'Vrijheidsplein' (Liberty Square) and 'Oude Vaart' (Old Canal).

4. St. Catherine's Church and the Cathedral.

5. Same than #2 but in the opposite view.

6. Autumn yeah!

7. The biggest one for the end: the Municipal Theatre, 'Hertogsvaart', Our Lady Church, 'Oude Vaart', 'Looiersvaart' (Tanners' canal), St. Catherine's Church, and other random canals.

@_Michael There is indeed a main station. Or maybe two, I don't know yet *:lol: It will be close to a part of the harbour now redeveloped as a CBD, but I need to finish it before showing it! Thanks for the help btw!

@TekindusT There is an old tramway in service for tourists in the summer season! Thank you for the comment!

@Ln X Thanks a lot!

@Abrams124 I officially thank you for the comment :thumb:

@MissVanleider Thank you too!

@Scribosilyn You're welcome! Thanks too for the comment!

@korver Thanks a lot!

@kschmidt Thank you too! I tried to had some boats on those canals with the LE but that doesn't really work unfortunately! It's indeed Goober canals, but revisited by callagrafx. And the diagonal ones were added by rsc204 last year!

@Dgmc2013 Thanks a lot!

@sejr99999 Thanks to you for passing by!

@Takingyouthere Thanks a lot! That's important for the sims to have some open areas!

@raynev1 Thank you too!

@Simmer2 Thanks a lot! I will find a way to add some of your work in the city!

Full of life, expect for a noticeable absence of trams... I'd have loved to seen those.

Apart from that it's amazing - your building choice is spot on and I love the way of merged the canals to the in-game water. 

Truly wonderful!

And no worries for the help :P

Excellent work.  The city is just beautiful!  What sea walls did you use on the canals?  They add the perfect touch to the city.

thank you for an interesting tour of your city  I enjoyed the many canals   I don't think I have seen a city with so many

it would be nice to have more Italian buildings so we could attemp to recreate Venice
