Entry no.42 - Waterways of Baycole
TakemeThere posted a City Journal entry in Pretoria Metropolitan Area
This entry continues from where I left off last time at Aizen fall's. Here's a couple of wide pano shots to jog your memory in case you forgot where we were on this trip down the Scribosilyn river I spent a lot of time experimenting with mmps and creating different landscapes in the next area. I particularly like how these scenes look up close so as with the last entry the photo are from the closest two zooms. More of the area around the base of Aizen's fall. The first bridge crossing the Scribosilyn river at an angle is Vermont Drive. Crossing Vermont Drive by foot is not recommended, unless your prepare to get soaked from the fall's mist. The Scribosilyn river then meanders under a several bridges the first being the aforementioned Vermont Drive, followed by the twin span of highway 705. Hard to believe but there was a time when I didn't use mmp in developed areas at all. But now meshing together functional urban development with mmp covered area's is definitely one of my favorite thing to do. On the north side of the river is a small city park(Jessibel Park). 7. 8. Further south there are two final bridges. The first is the Energy East oil pipeline and the last bridge to span the river is a rail bridge, carrying the ICR Lakeridge Sub. Three different modes of transit, road, rail & pipeline. ICR Train # 303 is seen going over the bridge. This is a regularly scheduled high priority inter-model train which can sometime be almost a mile long, which is the maximum length of trains allowed to operate within the city limits of Pretoria. 12. A small pumping station for the oil pipeline. 14. 15. After passing the last of these bridges the Scribosilyn river comes to end having reached Cisco Bay. 17. To the west of the river along the north shore of Cisco Bay is Varsity Park, another popular recreational area in Baycole. 19. ICR 303 rumbling through the neighborhood. Closes ups of the park. 22. 23. The shoreline here is a swampy marsh, spent a lot of time working on the land to sea transition here. 25. 26. This angle is probably my favorite 28. 29. And a couple more mosaics to go. 31. The next entry will probably be the final entry from the city of Baycole and will feature the few unexplored areas of the city and plenty of large scale mosaics to show everything the city has to offer.- 21 Comments
