5 Quick tips for new residents


Oh my..! That’s what I thought when I read Berry’s Monday Meme and it took me a bit to think on how to participate on this one : give 5 advices to Second Life Newbies…Sounds simple, but it isn’t ? There is so much to tell, warn, explain, point out and there are tons of…

The {Lost} Garden Of Sundarya Lahari By Xineohp Guisse


When randomly teleporting around, I ended up in The {Lost} Garden Of Sundarya Lahari By Xineohp Guisse, on LEA13. I explore a lot and often, well..actually it is how I spend most of my SL time. I do not blog about all places I visit, sometimes I just travel around without making pictures and other…

3D Fractals by Mac Kanamishi


Today I was into some art and so I visited the new installation ‘3D Fractals’ by Mac Kanashimi, curated by SperimentArt and Tanalois Art. I have blogged about Mac’s previous installation “Dragon Curves” and enjoyed that a lot, so I was curious about this! I didn’t get disappointed! 3D Fractals is not as huge as…

Grimmrfell


Today I saw a new location in the Destionation Guide, Grimmrfell, and decided to check it out. Grimmrfell is a Norse/Viking Roleplay sim (Adult), and as with all RP sims rules do apply. In this case I was led to their official website and learned that this Grimmrfell is not only to be found in…

Amazon River


Yesterday I spent some time exploring Amazon River (Adult), a – as the name already suggests – jungle with the river Amazon meandering through. Amazon River is a roleplay sim, but this is optional and not mandatory. On the landingpoint you will find several signs, group joiners, for each role. You can choose to play…

* Frisland * – A preview


Last night I was delighted to receive an invitation to visit a brand new location *Frisland*, a project by Charlie Namiboo, Anna Barzane and Frislanda Ferraris, which will soon be opened to the public, but is now open for preview for bloggers/photographers. The invitation came with a notecard, with some background on the how and…

Przystan


This evening I followed the trail of Kylie Jaxxon to Przystan, after I saw her wonderful photo’s on Flickr in the ‘Explore Second Life Group’. A group you may want to follow too, if you don’t already, as it is a great source for finding amazing locations to explore! Przystan, as far as I understood,…

Around The Grid in 80 Teleports


Although the title of this post suggests I have been exploring today, I have to admit: I have not. It has to do with Berry’s Monday Meme, which is a photo-challenge: create a bookcover with your avatar in fiction, of an existing or non-existing book. Of course I opted for a travelguide, which is usually…

Insanity – by Cherry Manga


This morning I visited Cherry Manga’s latest art installion on MetaLES: Insanity. A beautiful piece of art, yet it can be quite disturbing. It represents what is going on in the mind of a person suffering mental illnes, so visitors are confronted with confusion, paranoia, fear and delusions.  However, do not let this serious topic…

Little Village by Cica Ghost


‘The quirky homes in Cica Ghost’s Little Village stand tilted on little hillocks, some single, some in little clusters, their shapes silhouetted against the sepia sky. It is a village for people, or only for the cats peeking out from the windows ?’ This is the information given about Cica Ghost’s latest art installation: Little…

Veronica Lake


Yesterday Veronicalynn Parx pointed me to her facebookpage for her sim Veronica Lake, a residential sim on which she has parcels available for rent. Now I am not looking for a parcel or a new home, but the pictures she posted caught my attention and I ran off to have a look! Besides it being…

Metropolis


Spring arrived with a big bang here in Holland, the other night it was below zero…and this weekend temperatures went sky-high, well for us Dutch, up to 20 degrees C. Now, I know this is not ‘hot’ but for our little country this is a record and very extra ordinary – snow and ice would…

The Trace – Spring 2014


Ever since Kylie Jaxxon opened her home, The Trace, in May 2013 it has been one of my favourite locations in Second Life. To hang out, for taking pictures and everytime I go there I discover something new! This week Kylie has worked hard to transfer the Trace from Winter to Spring and when I…

A goodbye to Dryland


Sometimes I seem to completely miss pictures on Flickr, of people I follow. I have no idea how that happens! It is why I only saw this morning this picture by Anita Witt, announcing the closing down of her beloved sim “Dryland“. I have, over the years, visited Dryland quite often as it is a…

Isla Okiddo


This afternoon when I logged in, I hoped to find some cool places to explore today – as I was in the mood for new places. To my surprise I found a notecard with an invitation sent by Liara ‘Kemicq’ Okiddo, inviting me to her sim Isla Okiddo (Adult rated), on which she has worked…

Birdy


After I ran into the name ‘Birdy‘ a couple of times this week,  on fashion feeds, tumblr and flickr, I got intrigued as I saw some really pretty pictures of the place and I had no idea! It turns out Birdy is the home of the mainstore of  ‘Birdy Skins’ (female and some male). Forgive…
