Alba Ceann mu Dheas - Update - January 26th 2014

[APSMS]

Nice campgrounds. I like the VW van in the pictures, because it brings back memories of when I'd go camping with my family in our VW van. It doesn't run anymore, though.

Nice detail work with the trailers and the swimmers. Very realistic, especially reminds me of a state campground in the summer.

Welcome back

Nice lotting with the campsite

[Gugu3]

Very nice

Great campsite.

Beautiful work, Theresa!

[Swordmaster]

It's good to hear again from you Theresa. Very nice your move went well and you got a new friend in the mean time. I hope you can restore those lost pics - nothing is worse than losing such great work due to lost images.

That camping site is great in your typical style. Looks like you didn't lose any of those   I especially love the pond - really picture perfect there - and the campers between the hedges.

Looking forward to more.


Cheers
Willy

Great to see one of my favorites return.

Beautiful update    It's really great to have you back and I'm glad you're enjoying the fall. It's already winter over here    What's that beautiful water from the 6th pic?

[solsystem]

Wow, new pics from Theresa, beautiful as always.  It's good to see you back, I hope in the Simforum too?

@APSMS, Kergelen, Gugu, nbvc, FrankU : Thanks a lot!
@Willy: Thank you very much! I actually was able to restore nearly every picture. Just some of the pictures of my house are missing. But they are not lost. I just don't have the originals on this computer. I'm really glad that I have backups from every update on my computer!
@benedict: Thanks a lot for the warm welcome!
@noah: Winter is coming here as well. Today we had the first heavy wind over here which removed the roof of the hut in the neighbours garden and we expect decreasing temperatures. Thanks for the warm welcome! Do you mean the water with the bathers in it? That's a texture from one of Pegasus' ponds which are available on the STEX. If you need more specified information just tell me.
@Thomas: I hope I'll manage to restore the pictures on Simforum as well. I'm pretty short of time but I'll do my very best.

Here's some pictures from the meadow in the woods. The farmer was informed that foxes were sighted close to the meadow with his sheeps so he decided to check the situation:

looks good. 

[Gugu3]

Stunning pictures!

[Girafe]

Really good update 

[nbvc]

Great nature images.

[FrankU]

Looks fantastic!

[rooker1]

Really great scenes.
I like the hint of story....Foxes in the meadow and farmer checks it out. Simple idea but extremely well executed.
It's starting to get cold here as well. We saw our first hint of snow on the weekend.....rainy snow for about 5 to 10 minutes both days. No accumulation though, ground is still to warm. Winter is definitely coming.

Great pictures!

Last week it was still 24° here, but now I think the weather has changed for good

Nice pictures !! I like so much the ambient in your pictures, it's always very natural and peaceful !! Btw I think the pyrenean terrain mod it's a better mod for your style of region, more european and more rural

[art128]

Cool pictures! Excellent MMP work.

I hope the farmers wont kill foxes, I like foxes!

[rambuckel]

@scott, Gugu, giraffe, nbvc, FrankU: Thanks a lot!
@Rooker: Thank you! Foxes in the meadow is quite a big deal in Alba's backcountry. Sheep and wool are not to be sneezed at in Alba's economy.
@Willy: Thank you! We're luckier than you. The storm is over and we still have pretty warm temperatures.
@kelis: Thanks very much for your nice comment and for your suggestion as well. I have used the Pyrenean on two other maps. As I'm not able to modify any mods I cannot use it on maps with coastlines as the mod produces beach textures even on cliffs. I tried the settings which the original mod offers but it doesn't really fit my purposes. And at least the grass texture is a little bit too "fine" for the meadows I want to create. I guess it's a matter of taste.
@art: Thank you! I guess I cannot promise that the farmer won't shoot the foxes. Farmers in that area are not really demure with animals killing their livestock. But I hope the foxes will see the danger and leave the place.

I'd like to introduce my new friend to you. His name is "Kalle" and he's wonderful:



And as a little teaser I have a painting for you which was given to Kirroughtree House Hotel from a guest:



Slàn leat!
