SL Destinations: Forest in Spring

Hello All
It is near Spring, and daydreams are looking forward to change of scenery, change of clothes, change of how and where we
spend our leisure. I know most will agree, After the long Winter months we are ready for said change.

Most may be thinking ahead to Summer and a nice hot beach somewhere, Or perhaps like me… a happy medium, cool but not
COLD.
…Maybe a place where you can enjoy the sights and sounds of nature.
The comfortable mist and fresh smells ..of Earth, of Trees…of Grass.
Until the last of the snow melts or the freezing rain ceases, We can immerse ourselves in Second Life and get a sample of
whats to come while waiting for Mother Nature to gracefully move on to the next season in RL.

There are many Forest and Parks in Second Life, Choosing just one to blog about was a challenge,
So We will just list some of  the photogenic places for you to check out.
Since Nature inspired this post, We Transformed our avatars into Dryad Tree Spirits and set the pics to words.
We hope you Enjoy ♥

 

Affinity in Abundance, Mind & Soul may Radiate…
In the strength of Plural, unions we can create.

 

Together, Spiritual growth gives insight to inner Evolution
A foundation of deep roots, nourished by virtue & altruism.

 

Let Uplifting praise always fall like heavy rain…
Speak love into life, life into love, & never pain.

Kindred Hearts, Filled with hope & promise…
Sharing a journey brings such sweet calmness.

 

To care, and be cared for, makes you feel richer than a King.
Basking in its warmth like the sun in the purest of spring.

SL Destinations: PREHISTORICA: The Dawn Kingdoms

Hellllllllllllo!
It’s been a while hasn’t it?! 🙂
Well we haven’t gone far, The New Year came in with a ROAR and a basket of happiness for us both.
This post reminds me of the size of our RL Blessings, DINO HUGE LOL.

 

Fort NoWhere is owned by the talented Wanders Nowhere.
This sim has some of the most unique, & awesome avatars for sale here.
Revan and I grabbed the 2 freebies offered which are pretty cool in themselves

http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Fort%20Nowhere/128/129/1103

We looked through the vendors & bought the Dinosaurs we fancied, and then proceeded to the ground level for a look around.

 

This sim has a simple layout, similar to what it may have looked when Dinosaurs roamed.

Sound effects, Smoking Volcanos, crunchy underbrush in the forest adds the the immersive RP.

 

We had a ball as we battled with LOUD trumpeting growls and snarls as we charged.

 

Kicked up dust stomping and running. Splashing in the water or munching on green or flesh.

 

Wanders the busy creator is very friendly, accomodating to visitors and, loves to hear feedback.
We hope you get to see this place for yourself, grab the freebies and have a great time role playing!

 

Until we read again, Take care!
Revan the T-Rex, & Chioma the Triceratops aka The J-Team ❤

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: Discovery in Pangea

Hello One & All,
Welcome to another lead of some Interactive fun!

 Revan and I just came from the Wizardly Fair and dropped down somewhere magical.

Introducing “Discovery”, a SL Action Park made in the likeness of the world famous Disney Theme Parks.

 

There are 6 Rides here but don’t let the number fool you. They are HUGE on fun.

 

Having been to the World Famous Parks Ourselves, Revan and I agree this is basically “SPOT ON”.
You feel totally immersed here as you reminisce of great times spent at Disney.

 

The creators have done a phenomenal job replicating some of the well known venues and rides.
The detailing is madness!

 

Once things have wound down head over to Cafe Hyperion where you can grab something in the cafeteria.

 

Sit at the tables and chow down while you giggle at the screaming patrons (Your family & or Friends) on the Space Mountain
Ride. They’ve built a peek-a-boo window to keep you entertained. LOL

 

Check out the Big Screen in the Theater section and catch what’s playing.
They even have Free Soda built into the chairs too.  😉

This place is whimsical, clever, vivid, and dressed for the season.
All this makes a nice treat for the eyes. Choose a dark WL and really see the colors pop!

 

We highly recommend you bring a group or come with a date.
There is something for everyone.

 

Be sure to tell Everyone about this place.
It’s too good to keep it to yourself!

Enjoy and Take Care until Next time! ❤

SL Destinations: The Pharaoh’s Tomb

Greetings Explorers,
Today’s post is one of high adventure. Are you ready?!

We travel to the Great Pyramid of Giza, the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World in search of The Pharaohs Tomb!

 

Only those with courage and resolve will make it through the maze of tunnels and chambers laden with Treasures and Traps.

 

We began our adventure in the temple below the pyramid where a stone slab slid away on our approach revealing a hidden entrance!

 

A vast room full of venomous snakes, led to a dark tunnel where long dead mummies woke from their slumber…
uh, uh…..RUN!!

 

Spiders, Crocodiles, Fire Pits, Rope Slides and Moving Bridges…

Who said this would be easy?

 

If you make it to the Pharaoh’s Tomb Room in one piece make sure You take the time to marvel at the opulent décor and grand statues.

 

Having completed your quest, why not spend some time relaxing in the Palace or taking in the sights by boat, balloon or flying carpet.

 

We Hope you enjoy your own exploratory quest here…
‘Til the next time 😉

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: 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!
