This weekend, in between sleeping and feeling awful due to a nasty flu I must have picked up in the UK, I visited the Catalan Institute of Nanotechnology. Heh! Sounds very impressive and intelligent, doesn’t it? This place is not at all what I expected, I was delighted to see what they did with the…

Alice: Madness Returns
‘Ow well..another Alice in Wonderland inspired sim’, that’s what I thougth when I decided to visit: Alice, Madness Returns. But to be honest, this is a different kind! Very much Burton-like and wicked. Not the sweetness of other sims about this little girl in her blue dress and no nice cat either! It’s a bizarre…
Daytime Dreams
In this wonderful place called Daytime Dreams, I really had the feeling of walking around in a dream. A mad one too! On the surface you walk around on a checkerboard floor, filled with gigantic mushrooms and teapots. Plants with soft leaves have poses to meditate on and if you look carefully, you will find…
Hope
Hope is the dream of a soul awake ~ (French Proverb) And Hope is also a very cool place in Second Life, which I visited Wednesday! It’s filled with many surprises, wonderful and funny pieces of art and plenty of romantic spots with intan couple dances. I wandered around a bit, got caught in the…
Ice Sculptures by Rebeca Bashly (updated)
Only in Second Life…can you visit an art gallery filled with Ice Sculptures while it is tropical outside :). I visited Rebeca Bashly’s exhibit in UTSA (M), a permanent collection of lovely ice sculptures. Cool, in all ways…and specially nice when in midnight! (PS: yes, I editted this post. Rebeca told me it is not…
Liberty Cove
Liberty Cove is an amazing piece of art, created by Sextan Shepherd (developer of the former “Nemo” sim) and worth a visit, if you like mechanical wonders :). I used Torley’s Sci Fi Non-generic Fantasy Windlight settings for these pictures and took the time to admire the creations!
The Dark Swamp
The Dark Swamp is a perfect location for photoshoots! You hear frogs everywhere, a nice touch to the general, swampy ambiance. Lovely views! At the landingpoint you will find a modest shoppingmall with some nice shops that sell clothes, skins, artwork and gardensupplies. The buildings fit nicely in the theme of the sim. I discovered…
Anna’s Many Murders – by Bryn Oh
Anna’s Many Murders (G) is a typical Bryn Oh work; lovely and amazing. Mysterious and wonderfully detailed! Upon arrival you get offered a notecard with preferred windlightsetting, for the complete experience. I took the time, about 5 minutes, to set this up and then went off exploring. It’s the story of Anna…but hey…..go there yourself…
Musei di Roma Capitale – MIC
The MIC is a sim filled with impressive art installations! Easy to follow the path – on landing point you start the adventure by using the teleporter with the little red man. On every next spot you will find similar TP’s to continue your travel! I found it amazing and had a lovely morning, as…
World’s End Garden
World’s End Garden ~Noir et Blanc is an art installation, and even though it is under construction for some parts, it is still amazing! You land in a black environment with white waves, in the distance you see a shiny garden! The waves are rolling under your feet, a strange experience!
Split Screen
Nope, this post is not about using online social media on splitscreens (as Hootsuite or Splitweet) but about an art installation called Split Screen, meaning two art installations on a sim. On arrival you are advised to set your world to midnight, for full enjoyment! I did and explored the two (hence the Split) works…
Orangelo – Pop Art
Fridaynight..and after a nice, long nap on the sofa I went to visit Orangelo (M). A colorful sim, filled with art! The texture of the ground is a metal plate, so this gives a completely different look and feel – compared to other ‘SL- lands’! It is a lovely place to wander around and look…
ZED
Nothing cheers me up better on a grey Sunday morning than visiting a colorful sim, filled with art and weird things. So this morning I went to explore ZED (M). It’s colorful, with a pirate ship filled with grass and butterflies, chess pieces and some funny poseballs here and there. Also, on top of the…
Torley Island :)
Torley Linden is probably the most famous Linden in Second Life. He once visited ImperiuM Island and we were so proud! LOL! Torley has, of course, his own sim – Torley Island (M)- where he creates and build…stuff. All of course in the well known watermelon colours: green and pink. I visited his place and…
Renoir’s Chrysanthemums
Nope, this is not a blogpost about Renoir’s painting. Allthough, maybe a little! When shopping for a summerdress, I ended up -via the weirdest LM’s! – in a wonderful store, filled with the most amazing dresses made by Lady Thera Taurog. The ‘amazing’ part of the dresses is: they are all inspired by…
