@Micheal: So grandiose! I love all the trees surrounding the ritzy golf course and estates. The avenue and elevated running parallel is very neat.

Here's a rural/nature shot from me:

[Lmac]

wow.
that castle is SPECTACULAR!!

here's a few from me, all the same quad

oops, should have turned the grid off on that one. if you've ever watched le tour de france, you'll have seen similar things arranged by farmers along the road where the cyclists ride.

Nice pictures, Lmac. Very creative!


Bonney Village
A small hamlet located steps from Bonney Lake. Founded in 1895, most of the village's first residents worked on continuing the rail lines northward to Canada. Unfortunately, once that new rails were completed, many became unemployed. To this day, the area is still has one of the highest poverty rates in the region.

Nice pics all!
And Lmac, I love your reference for Le Tour de France, which I follow all summer, and you?

I know I do - but I think Lmac follow it all winter instead. 

In any case the reference is quite brilliant.

Albus of Garaway,
Great pic, I love the colour.  Crop the pic, add a border and enter that one in the SC4 Picture Competition.....please.

I haven't posted for a while but Lmac, I just look at your pics and you made me post after a long time . Really cool .

@giullaume: I love watching it but the only problem is that it's broadcast live at 11pm and goes through till about 3-4am depending on the stage. so waking up on a school morning i'm usually a zombie lol. Cadell Evans came so close last year!

@frdrcklim: wow thanks, I'm flattered!

@RBC: i wish i had a zoomed out pic of that cuz i was really happy with the way the surrounding area turned out.

@Albus Of Garaway: what sort of network are you using in that pic? in my rural areas ive been using streets and roads and i absolutely hate the sidewalk (had to check myself, its pavement in australia) that comes when anything gets built adjacent to it

[Sheep49]

I love your pic, Albus of Garaway. Though I agree with Robin - border would be a nice touch

At Lmac - Albus Of Garaway is using one of SAM streets. You can download the newest version of SAM here (Windows) or here (Macintosh).

Hope that helped,
Piotr

also i miiiiight just think about doing an MD, if I can find the time between Year 12 studies.

@ Girafe:

That's a really great shot. Great details.

@ TheTeaCat:

Wow - Stunning. That's HoF material. No doubt in my mind!

Fairlane 500: Beautiful detailling! Show us more.

A portion of one of my region's freeways being revitalized....

[Battlecat]

Beautiful work throughout this thread.  Love the freeway there!

Just to add to my thread, one of my favorite detailed shots from my MD. 

[sim-al2]

I think a cow is trying to escape. Other than that, it's a great farm.

[EDGE4194]

Battlecat & kj3400  beautiful shots- nice work 

[Floydian]

Various rural shots from my region that, although barely made, I am considering starting an MD for.
