Scenes from the City

Replies:

SC4L0ver: Thanks! The woodland was an idea that came to me after travelling along the A66 west- random clumps of woodland in the field or on the field's perimeter.

Prophet42: I would say that wild meadow scenery would work well for unused green areas inside of cities.

kelistmac: The prop pox was a bummer but it was a chance to carve the right suburban/rural outline for the city. So it was a net positive.

Scribosilyn: The British Sausage is simply a pseudonym for Ln X- that's why the style is so similar. What happened was I lost everything (computer problems, think blue screen of death) and Imageshack acted up- something about payment and accessing the account. Very embarrassing! So I was left with a CJ with no pictures and vacant image links. So I decided for a fresh start: new account, rebuilt plugins, new username, new CJ, etc.

 

 

Entry 8: Scenes from the City

Some of these pictures feature new areas, some are different shots of older areas. And now these pictures come with a little photoshop sparkle. In any case enjoy them!

Great update!!  I am always amazed by your sense of detail and realism!  I always get great ideas from your posts for my own cities.  I especially like pictures 2, 5, 10 and 12.

Well Well Ln X !!  Thought this CJ was really really good.  Sorry to hear your computer died and the Imageshack hiccup.  Does that mean all your old CJ's images are toast?

Glad to see you back.  Your new name and avatar does make me laugh.

I've been lurking about on the forums  but have been dealing with "stuff" lately (recovering from a detached retina surgery - Just call me "one-eyed Dick or Carol in this case) and I also take classes in the fall so hadn't really had time to make any comments, but I have enjoyed your new CJ very much.  (going to steal some ideas... of course).  Had to comment when I saw your "reveal" :D

Five Stars:thumb:for the new CJ.

Long time no see Ln X!  I just knew it had to be you when I saw the diagonals.  I'm sorry about your CJ! *:(  It's a major bummer about the computer problems, and ImageShack?  ImageShack is a computer problem in its own right if you ask me, and I speak from experience.  :angry:  I'm glad you decided to try again, though. *:)
