Patron, by it's very nature is a place you'll want to explore. Not only are the art displays, architechture and surrounding gardens beautiful, but they are also a place to find solitude and contemplate. Along the way you'll surely find many of the treasures that, creator, Eliza Wierwight spends her time there building.

I am very fortunate to be surrounded by some of the best people in Second Life. Not only are my friends fun to be around, but they're also very smart! It is one such smart person that pointed me in the direction of Visiwa. I had been hearing her tell me about this sim, and that I must get over there to explore and drop a landmark out to you all, but I was dragging my feet for one reason or another, and then something would come up and I just forgot it.

One of America's greatest architects is being honored in Second Life. Not just randomly and occasionally, but today a new museum opens in homage to Frank Lloyd Wright. At the Frank Lloyd Wright Museum of SL, you'll not only be able to see photographs of his houses displayed in chronological order on the roof of a building inspired by his works, but also go inside replicas of some of his more famous houses. Along the way you'll find teleporters that will take you from place to place that is highlighted, but I found it very delightful to walk around the sim and explore that way. 

Recently, I wandered over to Dakota Dreamscape's new gallery, Dakota Skies Gallery and Sculpture Garden, with my friend Zachh. I have always been curious about how gallery owners find artists or how artists find gallery owners. I think Second

About a week ago I got a notecard from SL Things to Do group member, Transparent Banshee, telling me about a group of sims called the United Sailing Sims. Here you can explore four sims, Greenhouse, Foliage, Mare Nostrum and Mar Menor. Surrounding these sims is the Blake Sea, and it makes a really wonderful place for photography.

While I was visiting and exploring I was most impressed by two separate things. The first being the Greenhouse area. I haven't been in such an exquisite greenhouse in Second Life before, and it was very reminiscent of greenhouses found only at the worlds best botanical gardens.

Artropolis. A land of ancient ruins, art, music, and artists' residents. An artist's colony that combines a tropical paradise with studios mingled within the jungle like atmosphere. There are many different locations to go to here, in fact there's a interactive map that allows you to tp to locations on the map.

Happy New Year everyone! After a break, I came into SL looking to see if I could find a great place to send out as LM of the Day. A friend reminded me about Cuba in Second Life (SLURL), so I wandered over to see it. When I landed there I was in a square with buildings surrounding me and a beautiful fountain in the center. There were a few chickens and a cat wandering around, perhaps like a real square in Cuba would have. I wandered about and found several places where I could pose for a picture. They were marked with small cameras that you sit on and it will place your avatar in position for a great picture in that setting.

Three UK artists - Alanah Wildcat, who is a nature and wildlife photographer, Pigment Pye, a machinimist who used to teach filmmaking on the Teen Grid, and Shiny Shabazz, a photographer and real-life filmmaker – have recently set up a sim as backdrop for their creative efforts in filmmaking and photography called the Land of Angels.

Others have already said so many times, but for good reason ... it's true. The beautiful region of Arcana Nuevo is very reminiscent of the game of MYST. It has a strong Jules Verne and steampunk atmosphere accentuated by the many levels and corridors, rotating devices, extremely precise and clean building style and gorgeous texturing.

Riann Maltese may not be a familiar name to most, but a large percentage of the resident population has probably at least seen her work at one time or other, as she is the creator of what may be the most popular line of playroom furniture in SL. Another creation of hers is her personal region that is spooky, mysterious, and extremely fun to explore and roleplay in. The SIM goes by the same name as her line of products ... DEVIANT.
