Nice suburban areas and green spaces! Where did you get those distribution lots? They look really nice. I'm always a sucker for night shots and yours is done nicely  :thumbsup:

marsh

Amazing suburbs there! The parks and little open spaces fit in very well, and look great!

Glad to see this fantastic MD rescued from inactivity at last!  Your latest city certainly shows you haven't lost your touch during your break! 


Congratulations on graduation from High School as well!  &apls

Its great to see you back, as this was one of my favorite MDs :)

Your last update is, as usual, spectacular. The shots you have taken really bring out the essence of suburban Australia.

Well, after a busy Christmas/New Year break, I'm returning to MD-ing on a regular basis.

Firstly, you may be aware of some catastrophic flooding in Australia, which is hitting areas about 400 kilometers from where I live at present.

Anyhow, let's get on with some replies:
scott1964 - Thanks Scott  :)
noahclem - Thank you very much, I like the occasional night shot, too. Those distribution centers are jestarr's, I believe. They're definitely available on the LEX.
marsh - Thank you marsh, I'm glad you liked it  ()stsfd()
Battlecat;D It's good to be back, I never thought I'd see the day that I let it run into the Inactives. Thank you for the congratulations, and it's good to know I haven't lost it  :D
canyonjumper - Thanks Jordan! Don't worry, I didn't have a name for the town, either  :P The pathways I'm using is a mixture of the Marrast footways and jeronij's White Trail Parks
Tomas Neto - Thanks Thomas  ;D
rooker1 - Thank you, Robin. It's good to be back  :thumbsup:
nedalezz - Thank you very much! It's good to know that I'm capturing my inspiration  ;D

Today, I'll be showing off a bit of a port that I've been toying with since NBVC released his Modular Docks. After looking through Google Earth for a few hours, I decided to go with a "freehand" design, and I think the results are pretty good.

This port has not been containerised, instead handles smaller parcels of freight. I'm thinking about doing a Naval Base addon in the future, but nothing has been set in stone.

For now, enjoy these 12 images of the Port and surrounds:

Warehousing on the Waterfront.


Intersection of the main road feeding the area.


Fuel storage and more industry.


Rail station and docked ship.


Another rail station, with a lot of pallets


A Pier with some smaller ships.


Another Pier.


Light industry.


A bit of a bend in the coastline


Fuel section at night.


Warehousing at night.


A ship under the stars.

So tell me what you think!

Happy new year,
Adrian.

Good to see you back at MDing Adrian. I had to look twice at that night picture of the ship, I first thought it was one of Girafe's cablecars $%Grinno$%

Thanks, got it (already had it downloaded but not installed actually  &mmm )

Nice use of NBVC's new port set! It looks great and I look forward to trying it out. I like the surrounding industrial area as well  :thumbsup:

Happy New Year!

Don't worry, I'm not about to vanish, again!

Thanks for your comments,
Adrian.  ;D
