Take a bow

You all know, how much I adore one of SL top photographer's, Monroe Snook. I remember, when I saw her art on Koinup. It was amazing. I couldn't stop looking at her art. She was one, which inspired me, to try SL photography with different windlight settings and now I'm addicted to it :).
A while ago, on 3th of July this year, the Zanphoria Gallery & Studio, which is located in the Avalon Art District of Tabula rasa, invited Monroe Snook to present her SL and RL photography art. Oh, Sapphoria Shilova, the owner of the gallery knows exactly who she invited ;). On the 2nd floor you find Monroe Snook's RL work and at the entry of the gallery are her SL work.

"Many of Monroe's works are award winning from various SL photo and Koinup SL photo contests. Her work has been featured in many blogs, SL magazine articles and SL Best of Best. She is a featured artist of Avatriat, has illustrated short stories, and has exhibited a few pieces SL photography in RL galleries. She is also a featured artist at the Museum of SL Photograhy, Orange Island, and part of a permanet exhibit at SL campus of Loyola Marymount University"

-- Monroe Snook's Information Notecard

It's hard to show you all her wonderful work, is it RL or SL :). Better you have a look on your own, because each of us has another view for art. For me she is one of the best and also others think that ;). So Eves Rodenberger and Monroe Snook are my inspiration ;). I know, I will never be so fantastic or will take such stunning pictures, but it' s good to have people, which inspire you.

Naftali Torok

Today, I got a group notice for a live concert...Hmm..Well, you know me, I'm curious hehehe. And I thought a little break from trying clothes would be a good idea. Before my inventory would explode from all the new incredible gifts ;).

I took the SL cab and found myself at Music Island. The concert started at 1pm SLT and Naftali Torok was the artist. She is from Holland and WOW! I do love classic, especially when it is mixed with pop. It sounds amazing. She is one of the best SL artists, and she plays fiddle. But with such an abandon. Really impressive! Tonight, Naftali took us away to a musically trip through the roots of European music. We heard Bulgarian and Polish folk music mixed with gypsy jazz.

Please pay attention to the guy in the red circle! Loool I was the only one which wear the concert lighters Pfff. They haven't any sense for humor ;). I have to confess, I didn't understand each word. It was in a foreign language, but it wasn't important, because it was the sound the performing which fascinated me.

I made some snapshots :). And indeed, it was a very interesting event. For this I love SL. In this world there come so many people together, nevermind which race or language they speak ;).

There's a new hunt in town, guys!

And it is called the "Just For The Men! Hunt" ;). So one hunt is over and the next one is starting. Awwwww I love that. I guess it has to do with the summer, you know? In summer it's mostly the time where people aren't so often in SL. Maybe they try on this way to get traffic. Well, not sure, just a thought I had. Also for this hunt you will find a lot of hints on the hunt locations blog.

Since days, after I heard about a new hunt for guys, I cant wait to start with it. But as you know, exactly in these times RL keeps you busy :). But anyway, today I started at my first locaction the "Kmadd Store".

At the Juice Store, my beloved friend Taylia and I found this cute and crazy muesli bowl. Looool Well, the pose said "milk paddle", ok. So you look when you paddle milk???!!! It was fun, though. We laughed so much about all these funny and silly poses. Besides the muesli bowl there was a sign and for 250 L$ you can be also a proud owner of such a bowl. Looool Awesome, isn't it?!

Here from the front. I got, I guess, around 1 litre milk in my nose. Pffff But I heard milk is good for the skin. I'm Cleopatra!!! YEAH! Loooool

I liked the polo shirts there ;). Hmm, I have to go back there looooool.

Everything new!!

So, I finally decided, I need a change...Hmmm, so I started to move my living room furniture, but I didnt like it anymore :( There weren't any cute poses in the couch and also it looked used. I checked out some interesting blogs for good looking and quality furniture. On my I-need-new-furniture-journey I found a really lovely store. It's called "Heart's Desire". I really can't remember, where I found it, but as soon I was at the store I made a LM. They sell all kind of furniture, also the ones which I so adore. These are furniture where you don't see the pose balls and when you sit on them, you get a menu and you can choose from them. Well, sounds like The Loft furniture ;). But I wasn't in the mood to get the next furniture from The Loft and I thought, there must be also other furniture stores out there :).

So I asked my friend, Taylia, if she could have a look, because it's always good to have a "girl-approved" furniture :). Na, who knows?! In SL you have to be prepared and you have to be spontaneous. Taylia loved them too, but the couches we tried out, I couldn't find the poses which I would like to have in it. So I gave up on this store, but still, it is a cute store, with really wonderful furniture and they upstairs you find a little romantic love corner :). Just in case you need a gift for your beloved one.

Also a very good place to look for furniture is XstreetSL. I do love this marketplace. There you find everything what starts with silly things and ends with useful things to make your SL even better. I went through a lot of interesting furniture, but then I saw it! Yes! This sounds good, I thought. After realizing that there isn't any demo to try out InWorld, I decided that 500 L$ wouldn't hurt me at all, if it would be not good enough for me. I'm sure you know this feeling, you just bought something really incredible and you can't wait to open it. Awwwww, I couldn't wait to recieve it! I got it, finally! I rezzed the box and opened it. Soooo, when I rezzed the first living room, it puts out everything. Well, the creator linked it so and of course! It rezzed in this way which I didn't want it! Pffff I had to move each furniture on myself. Why do I buy furniture in SL, when I have to move them all on my own like in RL!? Ok, minus for this. But a BIG plus for the furniture. I'm soo excited about it. It's lovely and it feels sooo comfy to lay on the couch.

But as you can see on the pictures, I didn't make a bad job. Well, it took my a lot of time and nerves, but in the end it was accomplished ;). The furniture is a creation by Pets Ulich, which owns a store in SL with a lot of accessories for beach settings.

Below some information about these furniture (I copied it from the XstreetSL site hehehe). So that you know what all you get for 500 L$:

- 3 plants, 5 prims each (+1 per shadow)

- 1 lamp, 3 prims

- 5 wall pictures, 2 prims each

- 2 amphoras, 4 prims each (+1 per shadow)

- 1 incense, 3 prims

- 1 chimney, 12 prims (+1 for shadow), with 2 animations on cushion.It has animated fire with particles, make some smoke,has flexi flames and crack fire sound

- 1 foot stool, 1 prim (+1 for shadow)

- 1 sofa, 3 prims (+1 for shadow), with 3 different sits

- 1 sofa, 6 prims (+1 for shadow), with 3 different sits for 2

- 1 sofa, 13 prims (+2 for shadow), with 5 different sits on cushion, 3 different sitson book, and 5 different couple sits

- 1 sofa, 12 prims (+2 for shadow), with 4 different sits on cushions, and 4 differentcouple sits

- 2 rugs, 1 pim each

- 1 low table with vase, 3 prims (+ 1 for shadow)

- 1 living room table, 5 prims, with 2 different sits

- 1 table, 5 prims, (+ 1 for shadow) with 4 cushions each with 4 different sits

- 2 tables, 10 and 9 prims (+ 1 per shadow) with 4 cushions each with 4 different sits

This you get ;). The furniture are no copy, no modify, no transfer. Sometimes annoying. And also the shadows aren't linked with the furniture which needs it. So you have to take care and be sure that you add also the shadow before you move it ;). All the pieces are phantom.

Well, I do love my new living room and this time my house doesn't look soo empty. Now I'll looking for some furniture for the rest rooms of my lovely home ;).

SL6B Part 2

After I got an offer of one of my "OPEN THIS END" group member, I found myself today on the SL6B exhibition again. We had a meeting point and we were there to greet the visitors and to show them our spanish exhibition sim, Wizard. To stroll through this sim was an experience on their own ;). We had a lot of fun and were fascinated about the creativity of the artists.

At the entry are walls. On one side of them SL picture and on the other side works of the RL photographer, Emanuela Baioni. An Italian artist with this special view for nature silence. Her work is amazing, still impressiv and have a saying.

"Elementi in gioco" and "Poesia visiva" (from left to the right)

"Geometrie", "La prima nebbia ", "Risalendo l'oscurita'" and " Anime sospese" (from the left to the right)

"Eureka", "Essenze" and "Libero di sognare "

Awwww, these art was amazing. You walked through the bubbles and then you heard a sound and, well I didn't see them, but Taylia swore there were whales ?

It wasn't me!! I swear! It was an accident. The ground was full with glowing sticks and when you walked through them, all fell. Loool Ssshhht! I say it was Taylia ;)

This one was amazing, awesome and unique! A field full of glowing, sparkling flowers, in the middle 3 sculptures and above them circles in all shiny colors and on these circles trees. But not only some trees, no, glowing trees. It is an impressive view with the midnight setting.

SL6B

Well, I finally got time to have a look on the big SL6B :). It's amazing! Wow! Really you have to go there, don't miss it! I'm so impressed about the buildings, the creations and there are a lot of live concerts. Loool I just popped into one on SL6B Hologram. Ha, I promise by accident! But I guess it was meant to be. Na, you have to know I believe in signs. Nothing happens in life without a reason. Yeah, well that's me :). But anyway, back to that what I wanted to tell you :). So, I found myself on a live concert of DonFranko Dagostino, when you would like to hear more from him, check out the links below:

http://www.frank-berens.de/frank-berens_english/Home.html

http://www.myspace.com/frankberens

http://www.last.fm/music/Frank+Berens

He is a German singer and plays piano. As you can see on his website, he earned some awards and works hard on his voice. DonFranko's voice is amazing! Awwwww, it stays in your ears :) and for the girls, he is also a cute, handsome guy. OMG! He just sings in French!!! Awwwww!! And he played one of my favorite songs, Hallelujah performed by Alexandra Burke. So he has to be a great singer!!
There is one more thing I want to share with you, when I read it, it touched my heart and I agree totally on this. Because you never should forget this, it should get a part of your thinking and living:

"Never take someone for granted, hold every person close to your heart, because you might wake up one day and realise that you have lost a diamond, while you were busy collecting stones...."

Shopaholic!!

Oh my gosh! It caught me!! ME???!! Which I'm not very deep into fashion in SL at all! Pfff. Well, I guess, it is my destiny ;). But, indeed, I start to like this destiny.

Good news in the beginning: I'm done with the Make Him Over Hunt :) Yes, I can't believe it, but I found all 150 signs. I'm good? Loool Yeah :). Now, the most work starts, because someone has to open all the gift boxes and, sure, I have to know, how these clothes and things look on my cute avi ;).

So here some pics. Be happy, that I don't share with you the worst ones loooool.

Isn't it a super cool shirt??? Please notice these super cool fighting hand wraps ;) Looks really bloody Got it at Fierce Design

OH! This one is one of my favorites :) Got it at KIWI

Also this one, I don't want to hide from you :). It's funny, though. Got it at iPOP

But also I found a really cool store ;). It is my new favorite one. Bete Noire Clothier. Amazing good looking clothes. Underwear, shirts, sweaters and shoes. And the prices aren't in any way high. Well, as you know, good quality has their price ;).

Here you can see me wearing the Bete Noire - wool coat noire. It's like the sailer coats, in case you know them. The package contains, the wool coat, the shirt with tie and the pants. All this for only 500 L$! Well, the boots you already know. KBoots - black and on my head? Well, I tried out some hairs from the MHO Hunt, called F-Hayden (chocolate black) loool Doesn't I look cute? Like a little sailer, which has got some shore leave :). Ok, should use the time on land for a better hair cut loooool

BOOTS!!!!

YEAH!! I got new boots!! Hmm, either now you think I'm crazy or you think ?!?! Well, I accept both thinking :). As the usual guys, I own only 2 or 3 shoes. Na, these are, of course, good quality shoes. I remember, that I bought them some months ago at REDGRAVE. A very good quality store for both, femal and male. I also found a lot cute outfits there. Some shirts, jeans and such stuff :). Redgrave works with sculpties, so they fit better on your feets. And as you know from a previous post, shoes are the first eye catcher for women ;).

Today, I were again on my hunt. Na, until now I found 117 Make Him Over Hunt signs. I guess, that is a good thing, because some stores hide them very very good and also they edit the signs, some to another color and some to another size. Then it is mostly impossible to find them! Does nobody tell them?!?! But anyway, I found very great boots at Covet. There you find the stores, EXILE, Shine and Treads. The boots are directly at the landing point and called KBoots, made by Ju Weissnicht. You can get them in brown or in black. Well, I choose black, because black matches with each outfit. So with black you are always on the safe side. They are around 400 L$. Sure it is a little bit expensive only for boots. Buuuuut, You don't get only one pair of boots! You get boots in the sizes S, M, L, XL, XS and they are copy/mod. These boots are 6 prims each and they use only Ju Weissnicht own original sculpties and hand painted textures. Also he uses a for me new word for scultpies, mirrored sculpties. The notecard tells, you should have the latest viewer version to show them. If you haven't any idea about mirrored sculpties like me, here is an explanation. So now you still think they aren't the money worth??? Na, thought so and sometimes also we guys have to make a bigger purchase ;). Not only girls can spend hundreds of L$ for only shoes.

Well, after such a stressful, power eating hunt, I guess, I deserve some rest on my NEW! rug ;). My dear friend Kaja Lurra showed me an interesting store. There you get a lot of cool furniture and adorable sparkling candlesticks ;). I fell in love with them , after the first sight. I'm a romantic nature and such candles fill my romantic heart :) The whole set, as you can see on the picture above, can you get only for around 250 L$. Where? At LOST DAWN urban creations. Kaja bought a whole set of furniture included the carpet, table, chair and couch for only 500 L$. The furniture comes with lovely and well done animations. The creator hasn't a lot things in his store, but the stuff which you can see there is amazing. Raki Barbosa plays with sounds, shadows and lightings on objects. Which make them more unique.

Im so fascinated of these sparkling candlesticks. You can get them seperate for around 150 L$ and they are copy ;). So the LOST DAWN Rug set includes rug, sparkling candlestick, 1 pillow with single sitting and laying animations and with 2 pillows for couple sitting and laying animations. You only have to press the arrow down button, like you do it at the Pillow Talk creations, to change positions :). But back to this sparkling candlestick, when you click on it, the candles inflame and their light illuminates your room, one further click and the flames strew out little soft sparklings and makes your time together with your love one more special :). It makes the saying "I get the stars from the sky for you" more effective.

Poses, poses, poses, poses, poses,....

I have a horrible faible for poses. Not each one. Pfff Good ones! Ones where you have a look and it take your breath away. Which you can use with your love one for taking adorable memories :). I was addiceted to MEYA poses. Wonderful ones! And remember my SL time which I spent at MEYA's store, to get a new pose from the lucky chair? Looool These poses took my breath away. But yesterday, everything changed in my cute poses world :( There are other stores out there, which have also wonderful, adorable, breath taking poses!!!! Oh my gosh! I had my view so focused on MEYA's poses, that I didn't recognized there are still other good ones in SL :). I found 2, which I really adore and would like to share with you. :) I love the meaning of such poses, what they want to express...feelings, emotions and the invisible bound between the persons on the balls.

Awesome dance poses :) by Essential Soul Studios

This one is so lovely by Essential Soul Studios

(also a lot of femal and male single poses for your AO at this store)

And also some very intimitate ones by Essential Soul Studios

(btw. the right one was the Couple PosesPhoto Contest Winner May 09)

The 2nd one, which I would like to share with you, is B & F - Poseworx. There you can find also a lot of single poses for your Ao, or wonderful, detailed and cute couple poses :).

Aren't they cute?

Awww. I love the left one, It's one of my 100 favorites :)

I love to do that in RL too :)

What about "Dirty Dancing"?

I always stopped breathing at this scene in the movie :)

Hey folks :)

Perfect to Alicia Chenaux's topic for Wednesday (If there was someone you could trade places with for one day in Second Life, who would it be and why? Bonus points if you find this person and snap a picture with them!)

I would like to introduce you to the one I would trade places :) I found this cute guy at Isla Clairvaux and it was friendship from the first word on. He is very quiet, stands at a very good place, so that he can overview the whole parcel, doesn't try to orbit you and he is a very very gooood listener :) I talked to him over 1 hour, yeah yeah, time can fly, when you are in the middle of a very comfy conversation. Of course, I asked him about this picture. Before I get troubles with some copyright or so, you know, you jave to take care in SL about this. Pff

I would suggest, next time, when you are around the parcel, have a look and say "Hello" to my new friend. *sigh* I wish I could trade places with him for only one day, I'm sure I would see a lot and hear a lot :)

Describe...?!?!

Describe what your perfect Second Life day would be like. Hmm, this is todays topic at BBBC 2009. *sigh* My perfect SL day...Wow, I thought the whole day about this, but it is really hard loool So well, I will start with a day off of RL work, getting something to drink, preparing for a wonderful, relaxing day in SL on my couch ;) And now the important click on my mouse and...ta tarata!!! SL viewer is open and tries to get a handshake with the region, where I want to log in...normally my home position ;)

Everything is rezzing slow :( Na, I'm using my laptop for SL, so no wonder that it is soooooo slow. After checking out my baby chickens, which are btw. soooooo cute and so handsome. I'm used, when I log in, to go downstairs of my adorable, but very empty looking house :(, to my cute chickens and then I stay in the middle of my living room and wait until they come to me and cuddle with my feets. Once I visited the chickens of my friend and she told me they don't like her, they always try to escape...Hmmm, maybe the reason is, because you have them outside, locked in a little space. And I think it is the same with women, one or two in a room are handy, but more as 2 is very dangerous :) It could be that they don't like each other..That they are jealous, because one has a better looking as the other one, or the other one has a softer skin as the other one...well, who know's what they are thinking.

Oooohhhh! Na, better back to my topic of this day :) Ok, I'm already logged into SL and my cute chickens made me feel loved. Fact at the moment they are the only one which make me feeling this, but anyway. That's another pair of shoes ;) I seldom have a look on my friendslist to see who is online. So I'm very excited when I get an IM :) So now don't hestitate to IM me (you know now how much i love it KIDDING!)

My perfect SL day is this day, when I have a faster, better computer with an amazing graphic card and high speed internet access :) Ok, this is now a dream loool No, I always try to make each time/day in SL perfect :) I hang out with my dear friends, play the truthball (created by Leesa Donner) This truthball game is wonderful, it is the perfect thing to know each other better, because you have to answer the questions with all one's heart.

And the questions are very funny ;) You should try it! I like to visit new places and there is nothing better, as to walk around and take your time for getting a perfect view for a picture :) Yes, I need my time for the perfect shot. Well, I don't know, maybe I'm used to it, but I go there by my own. Let my avatar standing and cam around to find a good view. Then I try different windlight settings for skies and water. And of course THIS finally takes their time. Oh and when I'm done I'll change to my NEW! Photoshop version 7! Awwww I'm so excited with it, until now I used Photoshop 6 and you can't do all with it :( And so I had to make changes, this was one of it :)

Annnnnnd later, when I'm done, I have a look at some romantic ballroom places. No, not for that what you think! I seldom, very seldom dance! Pffff Oh well, with the years I feel it in my legs, you know? And so I prefer to stand a little bit far away from the dancefloor and then I do that, what I never thought I would do. I read profiles! Loooool Yeah, I become a profile stalker! There are so many good ones, interesting ones and it is perfect to find new interesting places. So I think this all describes very well my vision of a perfect SL day ;)

OH! I almost had forgotten the most important thing, which makes a SL day to a perfect one....to see and to talk to my BFF :) Yes! this all is all I need for a perfect SL day.....Folks, thank you for reading this topic and to be still in front of you screens...Hmmm *knock knock* HEY! Wake up! The post is done! :)

Eves Rodenberger

I just met a famous adorable SL Photographer. I adore her work. Eves Rodenberger ;) We met by accident at the hoorenbeek store :) Well, when you wondering what I'm doing at hoorenbeek, hmm well...I'M on the hunt! loool But this time it's a hunt only for males :) Isn't it fantastic?! Normally I run around and search for lips or whatever. This time I joined a male hunt in SL! And I can only say wwwoooooooohhhoooooo!!!!!!! Great stuff! If you are interested in this hunt, have a look at MADesign, where all starts ;) The hunt is running until 30th of June so enough time for me to find ALL things. For more informations and updates visit their website, MAKE HIM OVER :) What a cool name for a male hunt loool

RP in SL

Some days ago I decided to try out some RP (roleplay). I had a look at some RP sims and came to the result. I do western RP. ;) Well, I had my western outfit already in my inventory and so no need to purchase and spend a lot of L$ in new things. The first western RP sim was great! A lot of people, sim crashing, a lot of lag, new weapons and and and...So after searching for new weapons, I got tired. The sim, where the shops were, was laggy and so unsorted :( I ran around like a headless chicken! Pfff And after the sim crashed I decided to have a look at the next western RP. By accident I tp'd to the Wyoming Territory. My friend Kaja joined me and together we walked around. We were so impressed about the landscaping. Kaja told me there are 11 different sims! Oh wow! And they are so amazing. You have to see it on yourself. The founder and creators of these sims made a very good job. ;) At the arrival station you can get your "Observer" tag or you use the "Cripple Creek Meter". The RP time is "Victorian", so of course you have to wear the right clothes. Ladies, no blinging boots or mini skirts! :) I know some girls love to wear them day and night lool Btw. I'm not a fan of such girls, I prefer the cute, causual look ;) *vd*

With the "Observer" tag and the "Cripple Creek Meter" you also get the rules, textures, what is allowed and what not, weapons and fight HUD. So a lot of free important stuff. I remember at one RP, which I tried out once, I had to buy a lot Pff But here you get it for free. ;) After you attached all the important things, you are allowed to feel free and walk around. But don't forget! After you entered the RP, you have to stay in role. You are now at Savage Frontier 1860. Don't be scared about all the notecards titled with "rules" ;) There isn't a lot to read about it and that what you read, trust me, you will love :) It is a NO DRAMA ZONE. At one point I'm not sure about the rules :( They are writing, "Basic guideline: If something wasn't around in the 1860's, it's not available in role play either." But did a chewing gum vendor exist at the year 1860?!?! Hmm, I think I have to research that.
Anyway, we walked around and the people here are very friendly and nice ;) And the place isn't overrun. Which I really appreciate ;) For people which would like to explorer new things in SL is this the best place to sneak into RP. And it is an amazing place to take pictures too :) Come and relax at the stunning beauty....

Summer Harmony

Each friday I get a notecard about which new interesting places are hot in SL. Today I got nosy of Summer Harmony and tried to walk around. This sim is adorable and fantastic. The sim is created in beach style and there are several caves to explorer and to buy, waterfall included ;) Well, I didn't walk a lot around, because I got a little bit laggy :( And so I can't really tell you if it is really such a romantic place, because all I saw, were waterfall caves for rent or for sale?!? Of course a love bed included pfff It is indeed worth a visit, because it is an amazing place to take photos. Detailed trees, palms, waterfalls and bridges invite you for long walks, alone or with company, this one is something what you have to decide :) Come and see on yourself!

Na wonderful!!!

Ok, thank you to my best friend! Pffff I'm now proud daddy of 2 cute chicken eggs!!! Well, often saw such eggs on different blogs and also my neighbours have an own chicken farm. So I KNOW about this eggs! So a little advice for the next time when your lovely best friend gives you something. DON'T TAKE IT!! It could be some of these eggs!! Hmm, now I have them in my house loool. How funny is that?! Normally they should live outside, but...Well, they need a lot of care and much love and much attention and a comfy home, so I thought my house would be a better place , because no one would kill them or do anything with them, when I'm not online. Ok, well, first I opened the notecard, hmm better to say notecards! 3 of them. So I started to read them and get, of course, lost in them. Pffff Ha! During I write this post they sneaked outside, ok now they are outside of the house. Na funny! But well they choose it :) I put a food there, so and now I'm waiting that they are eating. I hope they do! They are cute in some way lool Well, I will let you know when they grow further, at the moment it looks they have a grow stop, hmmm. Ohhhh, in case you want to gift someone special with such cute, nagging babies, then you should really visit SionChicken at Gothlauth. Buuuut! Don't forget the food. I read this "Only feed your chicken with Sion's biological chicken food to provide optimal health!" So don't forget the special food :) Take care of your future chicken and have fun with them :)

Inspiration...

Inspiration is the key to everything in life. Well, you only should be prepared and see the signs, but that is another pair of shoes. ;) The last days I got filled up with inspiration and I would like to show you my lastest works :) Also you can find it at Koinup too :) I hope you will enjoy it so much as I enjoyed it to take it....

"Winterland" taken by K. Ordianry at Isla Clairvaux

"Touched by the sunlight" taken by K. Ordinary at Isla Clairvaux

If you are interested in one of my works and would like to purchase one, please feel free to contact me through my email K.Ordinary@gmail.com ;) Thank you!!

Get lost at Opar

Are you nosy? Like me? Yes? Hmm, then you should visit Opar! A virtual massage for your soul. A romantic hide out for you and your love one, your special one. Arm in arm amble through the wide meadows of Opar. Enjoy the silent and the fantastic atmosphere brings you in a better mood, flying up to the highest point of Opar, standing there and inhale this free, honest air. :) I really enjoyed my visit at Opar and I'm sure you will too. Find the Hidden Forest, take a walk to Opar's Wild Shore and fall in love with such an adorable creation by Mariko Nightfire and Kaja Lurra. Surrounded by wild flowers, tall grasses and realistic trees, starts your walk. ;)

The Southpoint Yacht Club, a stunning italian villa, invites you and your beloved one to a dance under the amazing japanese lanterns. Coffee tables want you to take a seat and relax with a cup of delicious coffee. ;)

The name for Mariko's sim is easily to explain :) Opar is a fictional lost city in Edgar Rice Burrough's series of Tarzan novels. And Opar is a great place to hone your photoshop and windlight skills ;)

Good Bye Cetus Gallery

Once again it's time to say Good Bye to an amazing place of SL. I wrote about the Second Sweden, which left SL on 29th of May this year, now I want to write about Cetus Gallery and show some pictures of this place. We all know SL provides and supports a lot of individuals to get connected. Also the Cetus Gallery was one of them. It brought artists and people from all over the world together and to share their experience and ideas.

Well, SL hosts a numberous of galleries and places where artists and admirer can meet and discuss about their works. And one of them were the Cetus Gallery.

An adorable building created by Kaja Lurra. She always fascinates me with more of her work. Cetus Gallery was founded in the year 2006 by Xander Ruttan, who describes himself as an SL estate developer and community builder. RL, Ruttan is an arts and culture writer, an artist and musician and a former assistant director of a contemporary art gallery.

I think at this point pictures are saying more as tousend words ;)

Street view

now empty gallerie rooms :(
