Gardens of Grace


If you feel you need to escape the pumpkins, zombies, ghosts and whatnot for Halloween – I know I do! – …I recommend spending some time exploring The Gardens Of Grace! A wonderful ‘lonely soul sanctuary’ with green forests, waterfalls, beaches, caves and: peace and quiet! There are intan dances allover the place, so you…

Don’t make me drop that apple!


Last night and this morning, in between all the real life hassles of having my chimney replaced and some more dreadful phonecalls to the insurance agency….I found some time to explore the sim of the soon to be opened new event : Enchantment in SL. This event is all about fairy tales and will have…

Perfect day……


Actually I was preparing this blogpost for tomorrow, with pictures I took in Asallia House. I do not know Asallia, but for some reason I had the LM to this private home in my inventory and since it is so amazing and lovely and: open to the public, I needed to blog about it. I…

Cherry Hill


Cherry Hill Haunted Mines is a so called ‘haunted’ location, as it is the season after all eh? In the mine, which you will find when you have passed the market, you can participate in a Quest and collect prizes, seasonal themed of course! Now, I still don’t ‘do’ Halloween, but Cherry Hill is a…

Rebeca Bashly’s Colour Key


Colour Key, by Rebeca Bashly, is a full sim art installation on LEA and I find it not easy to write something about it…..It is amazingly built, and I adore the windlight setting that is used for this immense structure – although a bit dark! There is not much information on the installation, which leaves…

Mulberry, The Abandoned


Yesterday, after trying out the various cool items I bought at Horrorfest…I was going through my LM’s to find a nice location for some pics to show off my new stuff. I have tons of LM’s, so this took a while. Then…I got an IM from Lou Mannock, owner and creator of Mulberry, The Abandoned,…

Small Town Green..err…White!


Small Town Green is one of those gorgeous destinations that has been featured in many blogs and flickr- pictures lately. And rightly so, because it is a very photogenic place, I have used it for some photo’s as well, but never blogged about it. I was there last night again and was pleasantly surprised to…

The Cosmogony of Rafts and other improbable floating beings


For the third time in a month I have started a week with a Monday morning appointment in the hospital, for yet another treatment on my foot. I hoped this morning they would just look and say it’s all healed, but alas…some cutting and fiddling was needed (but now really last time!) and so I…

Burn2 – now open!


Last night Burn2 – Cargo Cult opened to the public and if you love art, desert and burning sun…..you should go and let yourself get amazed by the creativity on display! Burn2 will be open till 27 october, so that gives plenty of time! For information and schedules on events and parties on the official…

Arithmos, numbers from Zero to Infinity


A favourite destination for me in the weekends, while having breakfast and liters of coffee, is the cluster of LEA sims and then hop around from one sim to the other, exploring and hoping to find something that excites me. This morning I ended up at LEA17, in an overwhelming installation by Giovanna Cerise: Arithmos….

I want to run….


‘I want to run I want to hide I want to tear down the walls That hold me inside I want to reach out And touch the flame Where the streets have no name..’ ‘I want to feel sunlight on my face I see the dust cloud disappear Without a trace I want to take…

Burn2 – Cargo Cult – A preview


This weekend Burn2, with the theme: Cargo Cult, will open its 6 sims, for everyone! I had the privilege to have preview access at the press day, so I spent most of this my evening running around in the desert….taking pictures and enjoying the many art installations. Every year I look forward to Burn2 and…

Ginger’s Halloween in Samurai Village


Yeah, a second blog-post tonight, the joy of insomnia and a brain that keeps going..and….well, I had this place on my list already and sneaked Berry’s challenge in between the explorer posts.. So. Samurai Village! This sim (no Samurai to be found!) is  the private home of the lovely Ginger Krokus, and she has generously…

The Untroubled Sound


The Untroubled Sound is a gorgeous place I visited last Saturday. It is, according the information you are given when you arrive: New Zealand! I have never been to New Zealand, so I guess I have to believe it looks like this :). The nice thing about The Untroubled Sound is that is has some…

Romy Nayar’s Overto Omonto


In the past years I have enjoyed several art installations by Romy Nayar and I was happy to learn she has a new one, on MetaLES: Overto Omonto. Overto Omonto is an interactive art installation, sim wide. It is the story of a city where people became isolated and stopped communicating with each-other and it…

Nagare and memories of past joys


A couple of days ago I visited Nagare – Home of the Blue Lotus Clan. A clan of Samurai, using the C:si Combat System, the system I have used for years and I still have all the Katana’s in my inventory! I was amazed on how pretty this combat-sims looks..I guess times have changed regarding…
