[ThomasK]

Thank you all.





We begin today's look at Cattala's media outlets in the heart of Celeste – Franogei. Royal Media International, or RMI, is Cattala's public service broadcaster.



Here's a close up of the main offices of RMI One and RMI Two. Cattala's two most-watched channels are produced, broadcast and often televised from these two buildings.



To the south of those offices is the main production facilities for RMI Three, the digital channel that was launched recently.



Here we see the main broadcasting centre for RMI News 24 – Cattala's oldest and most watched news channel. 24 hours a day, news from around the world is broadcast across the Mediterranean and beyond from this building.



Cattala's fourth channel is Quattro, which is based in Vittoria, Celeste. Quattro is owned by the MIP group and it broadcasts Italian language shows.



Leaving Celeste, the head offices of Channel 3, the main rival to RMI, are based in the centre of Altura. Channel 3 is bigger than Quattro, and was launched before RMI Three, meaning that it is ahead of that channel in the television guide.



To end today, a look at the headquarters of CNS, a rival news channel to RMI News 24. It is based opposite the RMI Three building and is part of the Media Village that was created from excess land owned by RMI during the redevelopment of the Franogei Riverside area.

Welcome back to the town of Seina, in Monte Calida province. Before we start today's tour of new areas of the town, let's look at the local Church at night.



The centrepiece to the new area is the Palace of Seina, which is home to the Duke of Monte Calida, currently Prince Paulo Bonnecelli. The palace is one of many owned by the Crown across the province, but this is the principal residence of the Duke.



The Palace was still under construction when we last visited the east of Seina, as you can see in the grey image. The river has now been allowed to follow it's natural course again and a village has been built around the palace.



The community of Idrico Arco was built rapidly after the completion of the palace and has continued to expand. Many people wanted to live in an area regarded as affluent and wealthy, and living near such an example of that is a unique opportunity outside of Celeste.



The river is the heart of Idrico Arco – it's name means comes from the Italian for Arch of Water – and links it to the rest of Seina. For the village to be built, bridges had to be constructed and it took large amounts of resources and time to divert the flow of water and assemble the series of bridges on-site.
Below is a mosaic of Seina, looking in a western direction.



Seina is a different project to all of my others in this journal – it's not based in a specific time, it just grows. So I hope you liked today's update.

Thomas- very nice work on Seina.  The warm colors are very easy on the eyes, and your time and effort taken is apparent.

Nice update    I like the diagonals and Mediterranean feel.

[ThomasK]

Tomas: Thank you again! 

supremec: Thanks, it's good to see that you liked Seina.

David: Thank you very much - warm is exactly the effect I wanted to put onto my pictures. It's taken a long time to get it right, but I'm using the best series of effects I've used on Cattala since I started, in my opinion.

Noah: Thank you! I'm glad you like it.

[wallasey]

Great set of updates there! I love your mixture of buildings! The old and new go hand in hand with each other!

[bat]

Another great update! Looking forward to more...

[ricardomiranda]

Amazing update, beautiful pictures!

Welcome back to Ontano, in Lessito Province. It should be the middle of harvest season now, but heavy rains have forced farmers to push back their harvest date.



Driving conditions overnight have been hazardous, and the smaller roads have become impassable. Rain has been falling throughout the night and visibility is very low.



But, by this morning, the rain had eased and dawn was a welcome sight. Unfortunately in La Marchie, some of the farms have lost their harvests this year, and land has been abandoned in some cases.



Thank you for visiting Cattala today.

Nice rain effect! Looking forward to the next wonderful update...

[supremec]

The rain effect is perfect    But the sunrise is a bit strange.

[RickD]

Beautiful pictures and I liked the captions.

[wallasey]

Good work with the rain!

You could feel the warmth of the new sun on the last image!

[ThomasK]

bat: Thank you very much - and I hope this next one lives up to your expectations.

supremec: Thanks. What do you suggest I do to improve the sunrise?

RickD: Thank you, I'm glad you like it.

wallasey: Thanks! It's good to see that you found it realistic.



Welcome to Fieranti province – where for the first time we aren't in Calora. We're up in the north of the province, in the small town of Allea. This is Allea, viewed from the east.



Here is the centre of Allea – a small community made up of a series of hamlets. The community is reliant on its agriculture, and hasn't changed in centuries.



Fieranti is home to much of Cattala's cattle stock, and most of the beef and milk found in markets and shops are from Fieranti's cows.



One of the hamlets in Allea is Norbestia, north of the main town. Here you can see the harvest is underway, with the villagers busy collecting their crops for this year.



Finally, a glance at the village lake during the night.
