Title: Principality of Balaton
Post by: jeckyll on February 27, 2012, 04:24:22 AM
Hello everyone, my name is Marcin and I come from beautiful country Poland. I'm an active member of  simcitypolska (http://www.simcitypolska.pl/).
You could see some of my photos in picture competition. Today I decided to start my own Mayor Diary on SC4Dev and share my photos here. This MD will be also a great opportunity to improve my poor english ;)

I would like to introduce my Principality of Balaton.
Today I show you reconstruction of the st. Stephen square located in Brenna.

Welcome to the MD world, Marcin! I hope you'll enjoy your stay here, and I hope to see more beautiful pictures in the future from you. :)

THis first update was really nice, I liked the renewal of this plaza. Now with the two fountains it looks better and much more liveable.

Take care,

-Arthur. :)

Kraków is much more beautiful than Warsaw ;)




Brenna is the capital of Balaton. Today I show you Stare Miasto - the oldest part of Brenna. The Stare Miasto is inspired by old town in Kraków (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krak%C3%B3w).


We enter Stare Miasto through the st. Florian Gate /Brama św. Floriana/.

Another beautiful plaza, and I love your choice in buildings.  Your English is very good, missing some polish on finer points of the language, but still understandable and well composed.  Certainly no mistakes I would consider shameful, especially for an internet forum.  Keep up the good work!

Completely agree  ;)

I have already said, that we have matched toghether perfectly :D
I think I should make some more details in my in-game Old Town.
Some of your pictures make me impatient. I wish warmer weather would come as fast as possible, so I would travel on bike trough Main Market Square every morning  ;D

Zrób teraz jeszcze Warszawską (Build Warszawska Street) :P

Sometimes i´m looking in on SCP but as i don´t speak a word Polish i´m glad to see this wonderful portrait here! So i can give nice comments - no chance for critics at all...  $%Grinno$%
As i said in another thread here: You people from SCP mostly show some really nice artwork, and so Your pictures also represent a high level of detail and a good view for realistic city planning. I know i will come back here often.  :thumbsup:
