In the South

[faraway]

... I usually take two weeks to come up with an idea and then another two weeks to get something together...

Larry, I did ran out of ideas some weeks ago. I had no more plan how to get closer to Vernon than it had been about a month ago. The foreground was "lost" due to my failed attempts to place buildings at the edge. The right side failed due to the "banana" building. I did think about a new approach.
But when I saw this photo

of your layout it was like an electric shock in the brain and I developed within a very short time a new vision what I was looking for. It did take about two weeks, like you do, to do the base work of the structures. I will take now my time, may be some month, to do all the details. You are the intellectual founder of the rework on my layout
