Frank F Fasi Municipal Building - your new version is much improved, looks a lot better with the new textures.
And great work with your landscaping.

Nice work recreating that mountain. I guess placing all these trees has taken a while!

[nedalezz]

Thats one good looking mountain!

Very well done, cant wait to see more of your updates

Hello all,

I went on a hike yesterday up Makapu'u, the southeastern point of O'ahu.  I'm used to it being a dry area, but the recent rains have turned the area green.

A picture from along the way up:



An in-game inspiration:



Here's the view from the top.  I did a reconstruction update (almost exactly a year ago!) on those vertical cliffs in the distance.



In other news, I have something epic planned for the second anniversary on July 31st.  (It's suppose to be a secret! )  I also have various projects and groups I'm affliated with outside of SimCity.  Follow my blog (sumwonyuno.blogspot.com) if you'd like to know what else I'm doing out here in the middle of the Pacific.  I'm aiming to have daily updates.  I'll still do published updates here, but I might put some SimCity goodies there.

Until next time, take care!

Very good, it's beautifully recreated  I think back to Test Drive Unlimited when I read your MD 

[Reikhardt]

The way you use the flora in that shot really captures the feeling of moisture, a truly great picture there!

Same here! I loved that game just for touring around the island, found the racing just got in the way

Great pictures. I, too, have to think about Test Drive Unlimited all the time.
