SL Destinations: Museum Island

Hello & Welcome Exploring Enthusiasts!

Today’s post brings us to the beautiful and elegant Museum Island by Carlolello Zapatero.

 

There are 21 replicas of the world’s richest architectural and historical landmarks of the Mediterranean.

 

These ancient wonders are a collection from across France, Iraq, Egypt, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Jordan, & Babylonia of long ago.

 

Maps and Directories can be found at the entrance and along the paths as you saunter over the bridges & landscapes warmed by carefully placed sunlight.

 

The Textures used on these ancient masterpieces are phenomenal.
The builder took great care in all details, especially with the shadows showing precise depth and realism.

 

Each monument will have a board in front, stating the origin and pertinant information of the RL artifact.

 

We recommend the 2 automated tours set out.
1 is a walking tour for you and a companion. It will walk you thru the entire Isle not missing one square inch.
It’s really fun to do and if you are like me and Revan, You will try to do it a few more times LOL

 

The second is a boat tour that can hold up to 4 avatars. (We had a friendly avatar join us lol~ Hello Morgan Darkrose!)
This tour will encircle and weave around and through the island to get another perspective of all its beauty.

 

We hope you enjoy as we have, This sim has been a favorite of mine for 2yrs and counting, Its a dbl thumbs up approval rating ❤
Take care until we read again ❤

SL Destinations: Overto Omonto

Dark of Day, Darkest Nights
Melancholy souls in their Blithe…

Lonely is the companion here.
No way out is their fear.

Their Best Friend is called Desperation
While settled at Home in Isolation.

Some Sing to elevate
Some turn to fortune telling to speculate
giving hope, where none is found.

Some hold on to faded pasts
while wearing Bitter Masks

Empty Voids & Loss Deficient
Disappointment ongoing and consistent

The others here… Did they seek,…a way out,… of being tired and meek?

Stop & Take a look at the Dark & Mysterious Overto Omonto sim, designed by Romy Nayar.
You as the visitor can make a difference for these poor characters.

There is a puzzle to solve amongst the characters.
Each one of them holds a keyword that collectively Will open a door to freedom.

This sim although shadowy is visually appealing..It’s like walking into a Sepia photograph.
We recommend this art install as a addition to your exploring list.

We hope you Enjoy as we have 🙂

SL Destinations: Pangloss, Banana Island

Greetings Explorers,

In today’s post we take you to the colorful and surreal Banana island nicknamed Pangloss.

This Pink world is inspired by infra-red military photography and the dreams of Bowie Lana Zeplin the Sim creator.

Climb ladders into the sky and take in the view on the backs of giant flying turtles.

Winding tunnels lead to hidden caves where gold plants and flowers make a stark contrast to the pink world outside.

Flying fish, brightly colored birds and butterflies will stir your imagination.

Pangloss Opens officially this weekend and we hope you will enjoy relaxing in the pergola or at the piano as much as we did.

Thanks for following our blog.
Take care till the next time 🙂

SL Destinations: Autumn Equinox

Solstice Tidings One & All!,

This post is about one of our mutually favorite times of the year, Fall.

September 22-23, marks the Autumn Solstice., It’s the closure of summer, The reap of harvests, Enjoyment of colors on
changing leaves, And preparation of oneself both physically and mentally for the colder months ahead.

 

This change is celebrated by many different cultures all over the world in several ways.
In the U.K. for example where Revan is from, People visit the World Famous site called Stonehedge.

Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England.
It is generally accepted that Stonehenge was an ancient spiritual centre, and many people congregate to welcome the sun and
the new seasons.

Revan and I dressed in manner and explored SL in search for nostalgic & picturesque Fall sims.

The photo’s in this post came from 4 of the sims we enjoyed.LM’s are included below.
**SL’s Stonehedge, A cute little village on a sim called Fable, A gorgeous sim called the Kingdom of Alurel, and We had
a ball dancing to Medieval Flutes at The Renaissance Faire Isle.**

I also wrote a small poem about the Event. 🙂

 

A Season of Mellow has been ushered in.
Like an orchestra, Autumn’s song begins.

Nature’s Crescendo starts to build
Welcoming her song are those of guild.

Woodsman, Farmers, Gatherers of like.
Meeting on Meadow, travel by Pike.

Some may view this all as a Pagan’s delight,
But it is just respect of impending dark while giving thanks to sunlight.

Celebratory Feasts, Dancing in Cheer.
It is Autumnal Equinox and finally here.

SL Destinations: Macbeth

Welcome Wanderers,
This post brings you a literary gem of Foul Whisperings & Strange Matters.

 

Macbeth is a dark and powerful tragedy written by William Shakespeare.

 

It is the story of a Scottish General who received a prophecy from a trio of witches that one day he will become King of
Scotland.

 

Consumed by ambition and spurred to action by his wife Lady Macbeth, He then murders The King and takes the throne for
himself.

 

Soon after, Macbeth’s heart couldn’t handle the sin., He is wracked with guilt and paranoia, and is forced to commit MORE murders to protect himself from suspicion.

 

He and his wife descend on a complex journey of arrogance, madness, and subsequent death.

Although this sim is an educational build for a RL School, We feel it doubles as an Art Install,
Thought provoking and worthy of a visit.

 

Thanks for visiting this blog and please feel free to leave a comment.
We’d love to hear from you. 🙂

SL Destinations: Seraph City

Welcome Explorers!,

Today we are time traveling again.,
Transporting to a metropolis akin of Chicago’s yesteryear called Seraph City.

Seraph city is a themed sim comprising of shops, cafes, libraries, theaters and anything else that make a city complete.

Feeling a bit out of style?, Well Sonatta Morales’ clothing store is located here if you need a classic look to fit into character.

The sim’s design is Primarily Art Deco, with bits of retro-futurism called Deiselpunk.

Deiselpunk is an alternate version of a future 1950’s from the developed technology and society of the 1930’s, Where the Great Depression never arrived and World War II is still being fought as a prolonged Cold War.

Explore the network of drainage tunnels and Hideouts that run under the city.
But Watch out for the gator!

You may Rez your own vehicle and drive along cobblestone streets lined with Brownstones and luxurious High-rises.

Prohibition is in effect here!, There are speakeasies & posh nightclubs throughout the city.

Join the City Police or become a Bootlegger.
Which side will you Take?

We hope that you enjoy this well built creation as We have.
They have a Google calendar of events so that you don’t miss any fun.

Go ahead, click the link, pick an event to attend, and make some new friends!

Happy Exploring until We read again!

SL Destinations: Forgotten City

Greetings fellow adventurers,

Today the Wife and I ventured into the AMAZING Forgotten City.

A Steampunk world of Gears and Steam, Industry and Automatons,

Air Ships and Rockets set over many levels.

Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction that typically features steam-powered machinery, especially in settings inspired by The Industrialized Western Civilization during the 19th century’s British Victorian era or America’s “Wild West”.

From the starting point in the lower City you will find information and a teleporter to the many other activities and points of interest.

We started our visit by taking in the sights by Hot Air balloon, and then by Boat through the winding canals.

Brass Autobot Citizens can be found occupied, or walking the streets tending to the workings of the city, along with many clockwork cats.

On the Toy Factory’s platform you are able to buy many of the vehicles, buildings and objects found around the city.

Here you can sit and enjoy some interactive games.

There is a racing track with cars free to rez, or if you fancy your chances fighting extraterrestrials, an Alien hunt game.

Still feeling in the mood for activities? Why not take a chair lift to the mountain summit and compete with friends in the long distance ski jump.

 

After that you can dance away into the small hours in the ballroom or relax at the sausage stand.

Many of the buildings are available to rent so if you enjoy your visit as much as we did you may want to make your home there too!

 

‘Til the next time 🙂

SL Destinations: Seven Veils

Welcome Explorers,

In our latest adventure we find ourselves at the beautiful sim of Seven Veils.

Seven Veils is an immersive fantasy environment, set in lush vegetation,

Here the Woodlands flourish with Secret Coves, Castles and Vaulted Caverns.

Eire Statues and Guardians line the many flower laden glades and walkways.

While this is a superb spot for picture taking and relaxing,  There is also a puzzle game to play around the sim.

 

The Garden Game is a clue-based puzzle that incorporates gathering and logic.

Your goal is to seek the seven Guardians and their Artifacts to collect clues and solve the current puzzle round.

The objective is discovering which Guardian committed which sin and what penance they suffered for their actions.

 

A Romanesque plaza with fountains, pool and performance area makes a perfect place to sit and take in the colourful surroundings.

I hope you enjoy this Garden Masterpiece as we have, Be well until we read again!

Holidays & Intermission

Hello Sweet Souls,
This weekend, Hubby & I were on holiday from our RL jobs, which gave us plenty of quality time together.
We took full advantage of it and stayed on our own sim and played, talked and landscaped.
Bombshie Clothing sent a cute swimsuit out to the bloggers, and it fit right in with the beach Hubby made.
Nothing shiny this post, Just Us… kinda on Intermission.
We snapped a few pics and set them to simple words…

Ahhh…
Holidays and Sun…
Waves, and Ocean Breezes.
Salt in the air, to the nose it pleases.

Empty Beach, Our own Escape.
Bills & Traffic We needed a break!

Sunrise, Sunsets, Hugs and Kisses.
Delightful Convo with Ears that listen.

Spending time with the ones we love,
Maintaining Bonds that fit like a glove…

Sun kissed Skin, Warm to touch…
The sounds of surf lapping,
& Sweet Fruit for lunch.

Looking up, I see clouds on blue,
Can you see the animal shapes too?

Watching Birds with wind beneath wings.
Ode to Summer and the release it brings.

Thanks always for stopping by, We love sharing our SL as we see it.
