My very first attempt at Photoshop (using shapes)

Using shapes, I created an abstract image to show my ideas of what Esmeralda may look like:

"In Esmeralda, city of water, a network of canals and a network of streets span and intersect each other. To go from one place to another you have always the choice between land and boat: and since the shortest distance between two points in Esmeralda is not a straight line but a zigzag that ramifies in tortuous optional routes."
