Badger Bay - A Work In Progress

[Pat]

tkirch wonderful update and i will take the blue cabin for rental....  Also its no problem my friend, anytime that i can help!!!

btw welcome to page # 9

[Heblem]

I think, maybe my first visit to Badger Bay, looks quite spectacular and detailed, i just like that photoshop you add in your images, i dont know how you do that but I would like to know  This inspires me in doing farms areas and roads like you did...

Until next time, take care

[bat]

Great work around that lake!
Wonderful houses!

jmouse - Of course there's internet access.  Actually Badger Bay is completely wired for wireless internet throughout the whole region.  The first nation in the world to be hard wired everywhere.

pat - Thank you, I can't believe I am nine pages in, and in only a month.  The blue cabin is yours.

Heblem - Thank you for checking in, I appreciate it alot.  I love your MD, everyone check out this {Link} Heblem's Canatlan.  And as for the photoshopping, I recommend the following to get your pictures vibrant.  This works for daytime pictures.  I first increase Contrast +20 and then Saturation +20.  You can play with the numbers to suit your likings but I find those work out the best.

bat - Once again thank you for the great words.

I want to thank everyone of you for the loyal readership.  Here is an additional update...

SC5-1


SC5-2


SC5-3


SC5-4 In the southeast of this large square you will find Stewart Creek.


SC5-5 A Picture of Stewart Creek with County Trunk L going over it


I will have one more update from this square before we move on to the next area.

And this has been long over due ....

I'm loving this update tkirch. The train going through the fields looks extremely nice, especially the first pic looks like a promotional picture for the train company

[Jmouse]

Absolutely gorgeous update, tkirch. The freight train passing through peaceful farmland is beautiful
And I see you're trying your hand at TPW with good results.
The house in SC5-3 looks familiar, but I'm not sure if I have it or not. Got a link or name for it?

Until next time...

Hey tkirch,

You've been busy my friend.  Sorry I've missed a couple fo updates, but caught up now.  Adell is very nice and the painting is a nice touch, you've achieved a really good effect there.

My favourite is the train shot - looks really special.  I have a good friend called Dirk, so the boxcar with Dirk Direct on it made me laugh.  The coast line with cabins, summer house and boat ramp also work very well and is somewhat unusual.

And I love the paroch road sign  thanks!  Before you move on to the next square any chance of a region shot so we can how the whole square looks?

I'm intrigued to see what happens in the next square.

Fantastic new update there, tkirch!
Wonderful pictures of the railway and farms!
Also great work on the river!

[tkirch]

To all those that celebrate this today.... And GO PACKERS

[NASCAR_Guy]

Thank you.  And hey what do you think about Jimmie Johnson.  Sure seems his Crew Chief gets caught cheating a lot, not saying anything but just saying.

I don't care I'm a Kenseth Fan

My last updates from this area.  Next we move on and I'll show you where we will be going ahead.  Some more farms ahead, but I am trying to take pictures everytime of different ones, so we can all get an idea of all the different custom farms, there are a lot and they look great.

A-1


A-2 SimGoobers Rural Store.


A-3


A-4 I love this picture for some reason.


A-5 Peg's Chicken Ranch


A-6


A-7

[paroch]

Some great farms there tkirch.

I've never spotted the scarecrow before - I kinda like him.

Goobers Rural Store looks good on that corner.

A5 - The Chicken Ranch. I like the way you got the road to have that semi-circle in front of the farm.  How did you manage that?

Love the banana grove in A7.

A really nice farming area you've got there.

[bat]

Fantastic pictures of the farms there, tkirch!
Wonderful new work!

[Jmouse]

Very nice photos of the farms, tkirch. The little details -- tractor, horse trailer, water well, etc. -- create a truly rural atmosphere. I could look at pics like these all day!

Until next time...

I've just spent the last half hour or so catching up, Todd.  You've got a great MD going here, and your creativity knows no bounds.  There's fantastic little touches everywhere.  I'll even forgive the risque Thanksgiving pic...

...my, my, my... tsk-tsk

Anyway, I can see you're making the most out of Badger Bay's "Of Special Interest" month.  Always great when that works out that way.

Wow, I have some catching up to do here too, That is some very nice farming done in Badgerbay Tkirch  .

The cabins and Summer homes on Potter's Lake are also very appealing.
Your mosaic from Adel to Grimes Point is absolutely fabulous and gives a great impression of Henderson .

[calibanX]

I love your farms and rural towns tkirch. You've spent a lot of time on background and histories too. Very cool.

[amapper]

I love the close-ups. You've done an outstanding job on placement and detail. 

[tkirch]

I have been so busy lately that I haven't gotten back to SC4 for a couple of days.  Opening a new office and have some renovation to do.  Maybe I'll show you some before and after when it is all done.  So on to the replies ....

capo - Thank you for stopping in again.  I love pictures of trains, sometimes they are hard to capture they whiz by before you have time to pause, so I am glad I got that picture.

jmouse - Joan thank you for coming in.  I have to look and find out what that farm is but my gut tells me it is a BSC since I have tons of them but I will get back to you on it.  You also have something coming, the first to 25 posts and the first to get the 25 Posts Silver Medal.


paroch - Thank you again also.  You will see a region shot coming up in the next update.  You will see what I have done which I feel is a lot but in this huge region it is just a drop in the bucket.  And as for the roundabout at the Chicken Ranch I think that is the way the lot was modded that it came out that way, noting I did.  And now a congratulations to you, your 10th post in Badger Bay.  Your Bronze Medal.


bat - Thank you for the kind words. 

Nascar Guy - Thanks for looking in again.  I like Kenseth too, he's a Wisconsin Boy like me.

dedgren - What Thanksgiving picture?  hehe.  I love the creative side, writing stories and stuff, I am a secret writer and this brings it out of me.

sebes - I am glad you liked the mosaic.  As you can tell I love the rural feel with farms.  Its something I just like a lot so you get them a lot in here.

calibanX - Thank you for the great words.  I am workng on a lot more history for an upcoming post.

amapper - Its all trial and error with some placing and others I get lucky when stuff grows right.  When something grows where I like it, I quickly make it historical.

So everyone stay tuned for some updates coming.

[Jmouse]

I am so honored, tkirch, but the pleasure has been all mine. You're doing some terrific things in Badger Bay (still absolutely love those farms), and I always look forward to seeing what you have in store for us next.

Until next time...
Joan
