Update 16: Real Eyecandy
Some people asked me why I still use the funtional farms with their sometimes really huge lots instead of making all farms as eyecandy with the ploppable farm fields and the RRP. The answer is easy: I prefer my maps being functional rather than pure eyecandy, but from time to time ... 
Update 16: Real Eyecandy
Again a small overview at the beginning. The small canalized creek is the Sittersbach that flows into the qualch on the neighbour map. Sounds familiar for you? Should be - it was my entrant at the Simforum Dorfwettbewerb (village competition) and I presented it here (lower part of the page) to you.
Last time we had been on the right sight of the Sittersbach, this time we go to the other side, in an older area that I laid out before I used Girafe's and Pegasus' Pine trees.
The "real" farm. Grew with green Maxis field that has been spiced up a little bit with the RRP. Unfortunately the lot did have a bad impact on my terraforming so I hid the worst part with some bushes and trees.
A closup that needs some more finetuning at the kanals. These are SimGoobers new Irrigation channels. The new ones feature IMHO better colours and diagonal pieces which enriches and simnplifies a rural layouter's life quite a lot! 
Real farm field and Eyecandy field
Die Übersicht mit dem Übergang zu dem Eyecandy - Feld.
The forest is a mixed forest with deciduous trees and pine trees from c.p., Simfox and JeroniJ; I didn't know Girafe's pinetrees at that time
BTW with the right view you can solve the saw tooth porblem, too ...
Going a big backward we can enjoy the eyecandy field. Unfortunately the cows are missing in this zoom level ...
.. which can bee seen in this Zoom level in all their golry.
The wind power plants are situated in a clearing on top of the hills; as you can see deers and hunters like that clearance, too ... 
When visiting my home last time I saw that single wind power plants are rather rare; instead 2, mostly three of them were combined to groups with the ones on the outside rotated by 30-45 degree. I tried to do this, too, but with only orthogonal lots it's rather hard to do ...
I really love that small shed! You can so easily built it somewhere in your landscape - even at the edge of the map!...
I know some sheds for horses at the edge of the wood that look like this one!
That's it for today. Nothing new but some (hopefully) nice pictures from my pool. I hope you liked it anyway.
Have fun!

Edit / Updated May 3rd:
Some words on my own behalf:
As I stated earlier I do have technical problems at the moment and cannot play Sc4 any more. I think I am going to be able to solve these problems in the near future, however it'll take its time for me to show you new pictures.
Because of this I might put Urland on hiatus for an undefinate time untill I can show you new developements. The alternative would be to show you some older developements which don't have the same quality as the last updates.
So it's up to you: waiting untill I can go on for an uncertain period of time or some older picture that don't reach the standarts set by the last update? It's up to you ...
