Hey kelis,
I hope your holidays are going very well adn I wish you all the best.
The last update is fantastic, I loved it.  The city looks very realistic and very Euro, great job.  The update before, I would suggest trying to make that river vary in size, it seems to me to be too much the same, if that makes any sense.

Hi Kelis,

It's really getting time that I do some replying on your images too!  &ops

As you know I am especially fond of Dutch landscaping and I see very nice images here. Full of detail. Nice Dutch touches. Like the fact that both windmills are oriented in the same direction.
Maybe one thing: the flora is maybe a bit too lush. Large areas of the Dutch langscape show not much more than grass, grass, meadows, more grass, some pastures, again grass, some canals, a bush or a shrubbery here and there and some rows of trees and then more grass. It would be nice to see if you can grab that atmosphere and add some of the more detailed stuff where you have villages, farm houses, maybe a bridge over a canal and so on.

And one question. What crop do you use in the lower right corner of this image?

Your MD is looking fantastic! It looks like a typical dutch SimCity 4 landscape done very well. The amount of detail and the dutch feel is just mindblowing! I can express nothing more than praise ;) Just keep up the good work!

Best,

The images of the last update look very much like the weather today here: wind and rain &mmm. The view from my room look more like a swimming pool than a 'polder' now. :D
Your photo shopping skills make it even more realistic. I am especially talking about the smoke from the chimneys.
Keep it up!

Jonathan, what an eye you have for authentic Dutch detail.  Bassen and its environs are as lovely as their RL counterparts, and I can only see that, given your apparent lot-making skills, this MD will continue to be well worth watching.

LOVE-E-LY !

What an absolutely awesome update, Jonathan! Each pictures, each one are outstanding. The last one with the photoshoped reflection of the tower's light is excellent. Also great use of the Paris' prefecture looks wonderful in front of the cathedral.

The only thing I could suggest you is to calm down with the dead leaves, it's not really necessary to put them where there are no trees at all!

Tu amigo,

Arthur. :)

Looks great Jonathan. I especially like the city pictures. Detailing is great, with the nice pavement, the seasonal trees next to the canals, the small parks. Also great use of old and new buildings. And those late 19th/early 20th century cornerbuildings look great too.

Framly

The lovely Netherlands! I've so many memoirs...Maastricht with it's Coffee-Shops :D, the old town of Venlo, the beauty of the Coast/Zandvoort and don't forget Amsterdam with it's nightlife...

Keep it on! I would like to see some pictures of the IJsselmeer :P

# Fifth Update ~ A morning at the office ||



• Every morning the business districts of the city come alive. Workers turn to their jobs to perform their tasks and duties. these images were taken one morning in January •



• Water is always present in Bassen. When this business area was built not could it be otherwise, the water had to be present, not only for the visual aspect, it's built on a major river transportation network that connects Bassen with
the North Sea •



• The environment of glass and concrete offices combined with the reflections of water creates a harmony inherent in this business area. The boats, people, trees, gulls, and skyscrapers, make this place a favorite for locals  •

I love it  &apls &apls  There is such a perfect feel to the combination of glass and steel office buildings, boats and water, and excellent lotting and open spaces!

Dantes

Modern harbor city  :thumbsup: Great work again  :) Sooo, genious  $%#Ninj2

Awesome update! &apls
You are one of the best, what I like to call "MD lotters" around today.  I find your work very interesting and I know how much work goes into what you are doing.  Now after saying allt that, I still cn't help but think the city looks too uniform and missing something.  Maybe you need more life, people and prop.  I see no parking areas near any of the buildings, but maybe they are just out of view.  In my humble opinion it looks too bare in most areas.  On the other hand, I can plainly see some very innovative ideas.  The building with the stilts over the canal edge, the skywalk from building to building over the water, both very nice touches!

Well, that's just my two cents.

I like how almost every building has its foundation directly - or almost - on the water, it look very nice. :)
