What’s in a name? In this case, I really love the name of the place I visited today: ..with love in her heart.. on a sim called ‘Sounds of Silence’. Made me smile! With love in her heart is a rural sim, with farms, barns, some cattle and wonderfully landscaped Not too much and not…

Falling apart
The past week I have not been able, nor been in the mood, for exploring. I have had a series of less pleasant issues in SL, which at some point made me believe my Second Life was slowly but surely falling apart! It started with my profile. For some reason it does not work anymore….
Lost Island – Bastet’s Paradise
Often I use the Destination Guide to see what is new in SL, and today one of the highlights on my dashboard caught enough attention to TP over and have a look: The Lost Island. Now, I also saw a comment added in the DG’s entry (one can share, comment, like and all that via…
The Sea of Cubic Dreams
Last Saturday The Sea of Cubic Dreams opened, a wonderful art installation by Alegria Studio on LEA25. I had seen some preview pictures already and was keen to visit as soon as it was open! The Sea of Cubic Dreams is the first stage of a larger project ‘Theater Night’s Dream’ which is still in…
Terraform Me
No. You cannot terraform me…..:P Terraform Me is the name of a LL-owned region, next to Linden Estate Services 4, and both sims are amazingly terraformed. A wonderful example of artsy fartsy landscaping, which makes it perfect places for unreal photoshoots if you take the time to fiddle with windlights and shadows :). When you…
Garlic Breath
I love Garlic! I do, however, not particularly like a garlic breath..but there are mints for that… This blogpost is not about food though, Garlic Breath is the name of a delightful, Mediterranean, destination, its full name being: Garlic Breath at Melee Island. On top of the rocks you will find lovely little houses, in…
Control+Shift+R
This morning I visited a new installation on LEA: Control+Shift+R, by Wyzard Gynoid. It a massive ‘wire frame grid’ which you can explore via some elevators or just walk around. It is surely impressive, and just asks for taking arty pics using all kind of light and shadows! A wonderful work of art, perfect for…
Rowne
Saturday morning. Coffee. Honey-loops. Peaches. Coffee. And: exploring! I went to visit Rowne. Rowne is a fashion brand for female clothing, a bit business-like style, founded by Fashionboi Landar and Justice Topaz. You can find some more information and pictures/links to their brand on their own website: rownesl.com (autoplaying music alert!). However, I didn’t go…
Sharing is ….fun!
Yeah yeah, I know one is supposed to say: Sharing is Caring, but in this post I wanted to elaborate a bit more on the fun side of sharing, namely: sharing pictures from within Second Life to outside platforms and..the fun options we have since last April. Note: I am using the LL Viewer, exclusively,…
Le Botanique
Last week I received a kind invitation from Liara ‘Kemicq’ Okiddo, to come visit her latest project Le Botanique, as she describes : ‘ A rainy day, a moment of Zen, a botanical garden.. Something different and immersive..’ It certainly is a rainy day, in Le Botanique, and very Zen. A lovely, quiet place to…
A return to The Cornfield, but not quite!
This week LL announced their latest feature in SL: ‘ Experience Keys‘. Rather technical and I guess a big step for game developpers in Second Life. I am not a techy and I am not a gamer, so after reading the official announcement..it went way over my head. Yes, lets not forget the only game…
Matoluta Sanctuary
This morning I visited and explored a new and delightful new location: Matoluta Sanctuary, which will have its opening to the public later today, at 10AM SLT. Matoluta Sanctuary is meant for horse-roleplay, and an important part is also to create awareness about the Spanish Colonial Horse, as explained in the welcome notecard: ‘ The…
Canadian Wilderness
Admitting, I have never been to Canada in Real Life, the closest I have been there was road trip in the USA Rocky Mountains including Yellowstone NP and up. So when I visited Canadian Wilderness in Second Life this evening, I think it matched my…..expectations. Mountain ranges around, green forests and wildlife. You can rezz…
Herd of the Wind – UPDATED
Update of this post, on 8 July 2014, after I checked to place today for some more pictures I discovered it was no longer available. I have spoken to Mz Marville, the sim owner and this is what she said: ” The Herdland sim was intended to be a landscaping and roleplay exhibition of western…
Posing with Alles, the life of an SL Model..
Every now and then Alles Klaar, a friend I have known for all of my Second Life and a very talented Photographer/Artist, asks me to pose with her for some pics. Of course I am always happy to hop on one of her pose stands, as the endresult of her shoots are never a disappointment…
Noble goes Dutch – De Vesting
Upon logging in I received a notecard from the Noble-family, announcing the re-vamping of their home sim into : Noble goes Dutch – De Vesting. “De Vesting” is Dutch for “Fortress” and in The Netherlands we have several, well preserved fortresses with characteristic, picturesque, streets and surroundings – often with a wall surrounding the village….
