Incredible shots again Jeronij. Thanks for taking the time to post them - I cannot wait to see how the area near the bridges will develop!

Great pictures.  It is great that you were able to find some time to post again between your very busy schedule, which of coarse is very appreciated.
I can't wait for the next update to see the new area by the bridge.

i think its the first time i managed to go through Grand Canyon as your MD. raised taxes to buy myself a helicopter a few months(game hours?) ago and its maiden voyage was to this Grand MD. your walls. the terracing. wow. is there a tutorial on that? really really Grand. i love the rural feel and soul of it. will definitely be back for more. hope RL permits you to update often. see you around, sir

Hello dear Grand Canyon visitors !!!

Time for some feedback and another update. Yes, I know, they come from time to time, but... better later than never 

thundercrack83, patfirefghtr, emilin,  kimcar, David, sc4portugal ( obrigado  ), Antoine (merci  ), kwakelaar, bat, thanks for your encouraging posts  . Your nice comments are greatly appreciated, and I am glad you keep liking my cities after so loooooooong time 

badsim, I remember that post... 11 post in two years....not that bad      , btw, sebes used the right icon (  ) - use the [other] link.... 
sebes, I hope your curiosity will be satisfied in this update 
Heinz, there is no tutorial about how to create these cities. I can recommend you to check Sculpting Columbia River and Simtropia (if you didn't) at ST for some hints 
mark, I hope you have many ages free, because there are many new pictures to see this time 

Time for some pictures now.

Lets remember where we were..... just under the old train bridge.... where the rural culverts allow the water pass under the bridges. Still some old houses there....



But the calmness these houses enjoyed is gone forever ( or for many years for sure  ).



A BIG cement plant, and several new industries have been placed in this area.



Fortunately the industries are not quite dirty, and severe ordinances have been enabled to avoid dangerous materials being thrown to the clean and pure snow water.



Once the industrial area is completed , Mayor Jeroni decided to build something in that area....



The terrain is difficult but allows some flexibility....



The main street turns into a rural path at the end of the small residential strip.



The rural path conforms to the hilly terrain...



Until it reaches the pond where the waterfall starts. A nice place full of visitors the weekends 



An overall view to the situation.



And a close up on the above mentioned pond. Today is sunday, so several sims took their cars and came up to that place to enjoy some pure nature hours 



Finally, in this picture you can see the both waterfall "miradores". The one on the small farming town, and this new one.



I hope you like these pictures.

Again THANKS for your feedback

Oh yeah, nice update Gotta love them slopes.

That unerpass thingy with the american/original maxis yellow midline roadtexture? where did you get that? i've seen it in a few cj's lately.

[sebes]

Wonderful picutres Jeronij!

sebes, I hope your curiosity will be satisfied in this update 

Oh yeah!  The birdseye view of the river, the curved road and the new area  and the area (the picture with the yellowline) is fabulous. I bet a shot from the farming town over the rivier, with the curved roads, the new strip village (and probably even the large bridges visible too) would be a bit hit in the picture contest....

Hi JRJ ... like we can find your stuff under LotEditor .

hehe , 3 months only on SC4Devotion and I'm making here my 240eth post ... all is said .

Come back to Grand Canyon .... I just can't get enough of your pictures . You're the king of waterfalls /riverbeds , are you inspired by your own countryside in Spain ?  These pictures have something of Corsica too ... . I think I've made an error choosing Sorchin's ploppable water when I see the amazing transparency of your with rocks visible under water ...superb  ... and beyond any competition . 

[Heinz]

when you showed the houses by the falls... calm. then the next pic with the industry... honestly... my knees jerked in pain for those who lived there. lol!!!! the trail... i'd love to trek up and down that if i had the chance. great work. good job! 

[thundercrack83]

Absolutely splendid, my friend! Your skills are stunning. Another great update!

[Air6]

Great pictures, I like the industry by the river, the bridges look very cool and the waterfalls coming down the mountain look outstanding.

I love the new small village and how it conforms to the landscape also the mainroad going up the mountain is quite spectacular.
