A beautiful place in Second Life doesn’t always need to be the size of a full sim. Proof of that is Nevgilde Gaard. On 1/8th of a sim, Neaira Allegiere created a deligthful – inspired by Norwegian nature – coastal piece of heaven – which you should definitely visit! What can I say..other than that…

Valium Sea
Vally Lavender opened her new sim Valium Sea to the public not long ago, and it is already one of my favourite locations to go to! Designed and decorated by Jacky MacPherson, Valium Sea (M) is a coastal destination – with lots and lots of beautiful beaches and dunes. Very few buildings, which makes it…
Okinawa Islands and Solar Sky by The SL Spoon
A few months ago I got Photoshop, mainly for RL reasons, and of course I have been playing around with Second Life photos as well – after following Adobe Tutorials for many hours! I doubt I will ever be a great ‘photoshopper’ but I admit it is fun! I’ve also been exploring in SL a…

3 gorgeous places to get your autumn on!
Now summer is really over, my favourite season has arrived: Autumn! Being a September child, Autumn always brings back happy memories of birthday parties, a new winter coat, hiking boots and comfort food such as pea-soup and stews! And yeah, also the less joyful things as rain, wet socks, muddy floors and struggling to get…

SL16B – There’s cake, aliens and more!
Finally open to the public, today: SL16B! SecondLife’s “Sweet Sixteen” with a 1950s retro theme. A theme I am sure many will love – I know I do! What’s there to do? Of course the SL16B sims are great to explore and be amazed by the creations on display, and I am honest: this year…

Endless on a Sunday morning
The snow has melted, the sun is out and I just got home from a lovely, long, walk with my dogs, my idea of a perfect start of a relaxed Sunday! The dogs have eaten and are taking their morning nap, so I went for some more walking; in Second Life! This walk is as…
My N00b moment and Tralala’s Diner
This morning, after some shopping, I was unpacking my new purchases in peace and quiet, a disaster happened. I am not sure what I did, but all of a sudden my screen was brownish and I could not zoom back to the normal view. I tried to reset the camera position, but it seemed I…
Cobkobo – Russia
This week I was in explorer-mode and I often find interesting and photogenic places when scrolling through Flickr. So many talented SL Photographers post the most wonderful landscapes images, making me somewhat envious at times, but most important: making me want to visit those places! Sadly not everyone includes landmarks to their uploads, allthough most…
