Rivendell & More

This past weekend I went back to a sim I had visited for it’s grand opening gala. The sim’s name is Rivendell, and it’s the home of the flagship store Caliber. It’s where I got most of my physician’s equipment.

Anyway – I took my friend Crap along, and he brought his flying car. The sim is like a layer cake – the top layer has the stores, and a ballroom with a “forced prim reflection” is what I believe Crap said. The second layer is Rivendell itself, with a huge – what’s supposed to be – replica of Elrond’s palace in Lord of the Rings.

We explored the sim, which was pretty sparse, probably because it’s still mostly under construction.

 

There was a really tall tower that Crap & I decided was a carpark.

And we found a swan boat. I can’t remember what he called the place the elves went to when they became immortal, but this is the kind of boat they used.

So afterwards I went home and showed Radar and Chugabug my lab in my skyhouse. They promptly took things over.

And Radar decided to take a clothed dip in my hottub.

He better not get mad at me if his clothes shrink.

So that’s it. I’m looking forward to checking back in Rivendell to see if any changes have been  made, hopefully for the better.

Mayfair & Penzance

I told you I’d go back to the Caledon realm again. I usually do what I say I’m going to do. This time, I went to two of the Caledon sims – Mayfair and Penzance.

These are the Mayfair photos. They had some really nice houses there.

They had a few lovely gardens set up.

And several art galleries, and a branch of the Caledon Library.

They also had the Caledon Assassin’s Guild building there. Now I know where to go if I need someone.. Ahem.. Taken care of..

Penzance was great, too. They had a movie set.

The little guy behind me is Klicker-Klack.

They rolled out the red carpet for me when I went to check them out.

There were prop and costume shops, and set pieces you could play with to create little shots like this one.

They were both great places to kick around in, if you like exploring whole sims.

I’ve got a few new places that I’ll be posting photos of soon, and some posts of just random things I do throughout the days in Second Life.

Until next time!

Steampunk, Victorian, Ages Past

I went Sim-hopping again. This time, to the sims of Caledon, a huge area dedicated to the Victorian era, with a steam punk smell, and a dash of 1920s. They’ve got trains.

And a rabbit farm.

And shops for decor and electric cars

I liked this sign, so I snapped a picture.

I got some outfits for the theme…

And I visited their new library…

There’s absolutely no way I visited the entirety of Caledon, but I’m sure I’ll go back. Then I’ll have more pictures to share.
Until then!
