Some excellent pic's in this thread, certainly gives some motivation to create sometime nice yourself. Now I've played a while and with the help of the modding community I've got some decent pic's 
(Not particularly impressive, but nice to look at)

Looking at my cities, and at these screenshots, I think that either the roads are too wide or the buildings are too small, based on cars and cims sizes. Is it only an impression?

Northern Part.
Southern Part
My first city to go over 400k. Previously personal best was a bit over 230k when the map was already too crowded to keep me interested.
There is still plenty of room with all 25 tiles and lot of free space. Traffic is also acceptable, worst is small congestion on the highways around the northern industrial area, mostly due to cars deciding they need to jump over 3 lanes when joining the highway from a ramp...
Some shots of my new city, or town at the moment. Still trying to find a name..Greenspoint maybe.
But first, overview of it.
Highway into the town.
The industrial quarter.
View from a neighborhood.
Sudden demand for commercial overtook this planned neighborhood.
A new one was quickly planned on the outskirts. The roads haven't even been paved yet and already townhouses are being built.
The town currently has only 3800 residents but they still demanded a bus system. I guess they want to be Eco-friendly (while they ignore the 2 coal power plants). At least they make use of it. All 6 busses are filled to capacity.
Might start a city journal but that's it for now.
Btw, this is Ardun from earlier posts. I decided to make an account for my actual persona.

Been a while since I actually played the game instead of making maps so I've decided to take a break in mapmaking and make a proper city.
So, I welcome you to the Coolabarra Bay Area!
The small town of Coolabarra that has given name to the Coolabara Bay and the area.
Close by lies the small village Sandy Creek.
Sandy Creek Logging Camp
Sandy Creek Industrial Park
And that's all for now, I'll be back with more development!

1Runar, do you have a mod to change water color or are you using a LUT? That what color looks awesome.
I've been busy rebuilding quite a lot of the essential parts of my city. In the upper right corner, you can see a very inefficient train line. It brought cargo from the Riverbed Industrial area, but only to two cargo stations, which would clog up traffic (on the road as well as on the train tracks. So I decided to rebuilt that whole area. In the lower right corner you can see my old harbor, which couldn't take the load of the big industrial zone anymore.
One harbor couldn't move enough freight, so I built a second one, including docks and cargo train station
It is situated next to my second biggest industrial zone
From the other side of that industrial zone, a very busy train network services the downtown area. Multiple lines enter the city ...
And then branch into multiple parts to service different areas of downtown...

Here's more from Greenspoint. A lot of expansion has happened.
Updated overview. The two towers sprouted as soon as I lifted development constraints in the commercial district. I was a little surprised by the quickness that they built and the coincidence of their layout. Also, the city finally got permits allowing for sewage treatment, the sludge that has been dumped for years is finally receding. Sewage treatment still leaves a mark, though, we might need to look into other alternatives (or just dumping it far, far away)
Sunrise from the farm (pre-towers)
More agriculture. Must be good land for it.
Sunrise freight delivery.
Generic industry has been relocated to an area outside Shady Pines (the main city). It has allowed for quicker access to commercial for deliveries as well as quicker access to the highway. The previous industrial hub has been re-designated for forestry.
The business district inside the city has developed densely. This office tower used to be the tallest in the region.
One last sunrise picture.
You wouldn't guess from looking at it, but the region currently has 14k residents. With such a large city, it looks like more.
I'll post more after the region develops more.

My city of Oyster Harbor.
Overview of the entire map. It's 8 tiles big so far.
A bit of information; population etc.
One of my high density residential districts, mostly highly educated. Main metro station with bus stops on the opposite side with commercial across the street.
A nice central park in the middle with some commercial. You can see the main CBD off in the distance.
The commercial business district, still under construction but I'm loving the skyscrapers! Modern train station to the left (my favorite station model in the game, it looks so futuristic!)
A park area i'm currently building. Highrise ban on this side of the island. The Motherland Calls statue is huge, 2 metres shorter the the Statue of Liberty.
University area. Easy access to sports activities (tennis court and American football to be introduced next)
The cities football stadium, home to the Oyster Harbor Hornets!
A massive roundabout interchange connecting the cbd to the residential district. Big enough for a few offices.
View from "Old Town". You can see The Motherland Calls and the cbd skyline in the distance.

Beautiful city. Kudos! I can see that you must've spent quite a lot of time planting trees.
Also the game looks prettier on your machine. I guess that you're using Dynamic Resolution to down scale from a higher resolution? Are you using any color correction mod?

Was just thinking that... really nice vibrant colours... would love to know if that is a mod?
