The Paradise of Walker's Island

[dedgren]

Looking for home in Silvers Creek.
Prefer near public golf course. although
lake access also desireable.

G'bless the middle class- they generally know what they're doing.

Nice pics.  I've always wondered, though, does the term "Antilles" have some significance?  I've seen other island chains with that as part of their name, but can't remember where.

Great work.

@sc4portugal: Thanks for dropping by. Yes, I use a Puerto Rico Map. I was looking for an Island map, and this one was the best I found.
@bat: I'm glad, that you like it
@Zaphod: Thanks for visting, Florida is tropical too, so I take it as an compliment...
@dedgren: I think about making a kind of real estate Update , and yes there are the Greater Antilles, the Lesser Antilles, and the Netherlands Antilles.
@thundercrack83: Thanks, I'll try to keep up the good work. I began many things and I want them to be finished before I'll show them. You can look forward to the jungle, the Capital, and the Laguna Isabella (artifical Islands), and a lot more
@kwakelaar: Thanks, hope to see you next Update

I can't believe I haven't commented here before, as I've viewed it so many times before...  Maybe I meant to and never got to it... but I have at last been reminded, and maybe even persuaded, by your comment in Nova Vesfalo to come over here and get things done!

I love the general feel of this MD - very laid back, tropical, almost Carribean.  It surely looks like a nice place to go to for a holiday, and an even better place to stay!  Maybe offer some kind of retirement resort?

As for the SCJU that you mentioned over at Nova Vesfalo, I will be looking forward to your application there. I trust that you got the information over there, but if you have any more questions feel free to direct them to me! 

Have a nice day!

[petercintn]

I agree, very nice!  The lake in Slivers Creek (nice name!) is a great place to build around.

OK, I packed my bags and am ready to move to the Durewam Antilles today. You created an awesome place here

Due to the fact, that the Silvers Creek-Update  is so well-liked, I'll show you the missing pieces of the Updates "Director's Cut"...


Enjoy a weekend in the Racoon-Lodge. Setted on the hills near Silvers Creek you have an breathtaking view towards the mountains and the jungle...


Houses on the bank of the Silvers Lake...

This "Director's Cut" was great! I'm glad we got to see more of Silvers Creek. I think the houses on the banks of the lake are my favorite. Keep up the good work!

Great flag, looks a bit like this one:



Which is the official flag of the Dutch Antilles.

To Answer Dedgren's question:
The five islands of the Netherlands Antilles (Curacao Bonaire Saba St. Eustatius and a part of St. Maarten) are part of the Netherlands realm with a degree of autonomy. Aruba which had been a part of the Netherlands Antilles was granted in January 1986 a separate status within the kingdom on par with but apart from the Netherlands Antilles

What are the Antiles:
The Antilles (the same in French; Antillas in Spanish; Antillen in Dutch) refers to the islands forming the greater part of the West Indies in the Caribbean Sea. The Antilles are divided into two major groups: the "Greater Antilles" to the north including the larger islands of Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic), and Puerto Rico; and the smaller "Lesser Antilles" on the southeast — comprising the northerly Leeward Islands, the southeasterly Windward Islands, and the Leeward Antilles just north of Venezuela. The Bahamas, though part of the West Indies, are generally not included among the Antillean islands.[1]

Geographically, the Antilles are generally considered part of North America. Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico – due to the prevalence of Spanish – are included in Latin America.
See also Wikipedia

Antillia (or Antilia) is a phantom island said to lie in the Atlantic Ocean far to the west of Spain. This mythical island had several other names such as Isle of Seven Cities, Ilha das Sete Cidades (Portuguese), Septe Cidades, Sanbrandan (or St Brendan), etc. Antillia was also identified with islands including the Isles of the Blest and the Fortunate Islands.
The origin of the name is quite uncertain. The oldest suggested etymology (1455) fancifully connects it with the name of the Platonic Atlantis, while later writers have endeavoured to derive it from the Latin anterior (i.e. the island that is reached "before" Cipango), or from the Jezirat al Tennyn, "Dragon's Isle," of the Arabian geographers.
Wiki again

The spanish called some islands in the caribean: Islas Inútiles - That is worthless islands because they could not find decent farmland on the islands and neither gold (which was the prime reason for them to be in this part of the world in the 15th and 16th Century)

Anyway, now back to the MD.

Well done.

I love the beaches on the first pics.And of the latter pics I like that road bordered by the palm trees. ooking at that lake, I wouldn't want to live in one of those homes with a palm tree almost sticking over the balcony into my living room. LOL.

Have fun.
