- Greater Leeds - Hi again, I know it's been a while since my last update, I've been busy trying to cope with the ramped-up workload at school and stuff. I've tried making up for the lack of posts with this larger one, personally I think its my best post yet. Although this contains some pictures featured in earlier updates, I have tried to cherry pick the best; most are new. This'll be my last post for a long while; if I do make any new update, it'll probably be on a new city. This update features my...

Residential Leeds

By Big_Tree_Z,

Hi again guys! It's been a while, just started my 12th and second last year of school and have quite a workload already so the updates will come more slowly from now on. Anyway, this update showcases some of the housing areas within Leeds. A large number of sims live directly on the waterfront so this also includes a lot of water shots. Remember to +1, Rate and Comment I'm not sure what my next update will be, but I'm hoping to do a large one soon, if not next post. Although Leeds is densely populated...

This 3rd and final part of Greater Leeds Transit follows one of the highway routes from the Southern agricultural surrounds of the city, North into the outer fringes of the city and into the heart of the city itself. This is only one of a number of routes into/out of the city, if you're interested in getting an idea of the other routes, check Greater Leeds Transit - Part 2 and look at the transit map. If you like this post, or any others, please rate, comment or click the +1. Thanks again for viewing, the...

Hey again, just the next part of Greater Leeds Transit, focusing on my rail transport systems and also featuring a transit map of Central Leeds. My rail experiences a high amount of usage, with alot of the stations (even large stations, off of the main route) taking much higher than capacity, it does, however, for the most part work quite well. Again, please rate, +1 and comment if you like it (or dislike, I like the feedback), or check out my other posts. A transit map of Central Leeds, Cyan = Highways,...

Firstly, just a small note celebrating my first 1000 views. Hopefully it's the first of many to come. This is a part 1 post of a number of posts that centre around transit in Greater Leeds. In this post the new GLR system and El rail system will be shown. Please, view my other posts and +1, rate (5 stars ) and comment; any feedback is appreciated! Next post will show my rail system, and introduce a general regional map of transport systems. The LTA (Leeds Transit Authority) logo. The East-Line Rapid...

The Storm Hits

By Big_Tree_Z,

Hi again. This small update shows a large electrical storm hitting Leeds. Hope you like it, remember rate, +1 and comment Waves are pounding against the cliffs at Wales Head, a storm is coming. The storm has hit, and this abandoned market will likely be inundated with water. This lightning strike to Radio Tower 1 caused millions of simoleons of damage to its radio antenna. I've decided the next post will be a transportation post. Thanks for viewing! Plus 1, rate and comment

Ports and Industry

By Big_Tree_Z,

Here's some of the industrial areas that produce the things that companies sell and sims buy. Leeds has one major port, split over two areas; Port Wales - West is the manufacturing port (cars, steel, etc.), Port Wales - East deals with the higher tech and generally more fragile exports and imports (electronics, etc.). I appreciate your views and any comments. If you like it press the +1, vote it up and check up my other posts. Thanks in advance! The grittier side of life in Leeds. Located to the west of...

Rural Life

By Big_Tree_Z,

Leeds isn't composed just of the city. Although the vast majority of the population lives within urban areas, a significant portion of Greater Leeds' area is occupied by agriculture, primarily on the Southeastern Plains. Agriculture also accounts for a large amount of Greater Leeds' economy, providing around 50,000 full-time, part-time and casual jobs. Thanks for viewing my "rural post". Rural areas are not my forte, but I do enjoy making them so any feedback regarding how I could (easily) improve my...

The City

By Big_Tree_Z,

A more comprehensive look at the CBD. It's been updated slightly since my first post, but I've tried to vary my photos. Please, vote it up if you like it or press the +1 and leave any comments, positive or negative. - Oh and just to highlight my awesomeness, all large buildings in the CBD have grown except for the Berlin Radio Tower, the Jin Guang Centre and the Columbia Seafirst Centre. Next I'll post some pictures of my favourite rural areas. The Leeds CBD contains a number of very large buildings. The...

Regional Overview

By Big_Tree_Z,

Just a couple of photos for a regional overview. This covers about 70% of the regions landmass but shows all of the regional diversity (urban area, agricultural area and open spaces). Please (not to be pushy), if you like it, press the like button and maybe leave a comment. Thanks in advance. The next post will examine the CBD more comprehensively. The Central portion of Greater Leeds. The Toure Mountains, located Northeast of Central Leeds. The mid-south part of Leeds' western coastline. The Eastern half...

Central Leeds

By Big_Tree_Z,

Hi, Welcome to my first post for my first journal, I appreciate any views and comments, especially regarding GIMP (the program I used to edit some of the photos) which I am new to. This journal will be a collection of pictures from my region, Leeds (nothing like the real city), which is now as filled as I wish it to be, both in terms of tiles and population, with the latter being just over 1,000,000 sims. I'm not a "professional" Sim City player. I play when I feel like it and this region has taken a long...
