Sarek and Ice Hotel LM of the Day

Long time SLTTD supporters Jesper and Ewa sent me a little note today to inform me of some work they have been up to! And just by watching the video (shown below) I really think we're all in for quite a treat. Sarek and Ice Hotel (direct TP) in Second Life offers a full Swedish vacation experience! Go visit there today, and if you see Jesper and Ewa, tell them hello from SLTTD!

China, China West and the Hipic Project

China sim in Second Life

You've most lilkely seen or heard about the minimalist "sandbox" in the sky over the sim called China. If you haven't it's quite something. A giant canvas in the sky where aston Leisen has created a very beautiful scene. Mountains in the distance, light whispy clouds overhead and clusters of bamboo trees. Sometimes there is a hut, sometimes there are other objects. There's a calm peace to this location.

Pathfinder Lowlands and Highlands

6 December 2009 - 6:34am — Jenn Hienrichs

 

My journey begins on a smelly fishing vessel, that is safe, yet I am quite relieved when we dock. As I depart the fishing boat, I'm happy to be smelling the fresh salt water air, and not the dead fish that made the voyage with me! I have finally arrived at Pathfinder Islands!

Patron and Patron Wilds-"An enigmatic place that's orientated to enjoyment"

2 December 2009 - 4:07pm — Jenn Hienrichs

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.

Butterdish -- Sim by Ruby Sinclair and Waive Haller

25 October 2009 - 11:30am — Jenn Hienrichs

Sunday mornings. I've written about these times before. SL is a lovely retreat of solitude and quiet on a Sunday morning, especially when it's too cold to be outside, and too early to be out and about!

Visiwa-Swahili for "The Islands"

9 September 2009 - 7:01am — Jenn Hienrichs

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.

La Cuesta -- Groll Inn & Hideout Island

1 September 2009 - 10:15am — Jenn Hienrichs

 

On a recent stroll around SL, I came across a sim named La Cuesta. Primarily a shopping sim for the store and hang out "Groll Inn", I found this sim to be beautifully picturesque, in a very eerie, spooky way. Not only were there skeletons hanging from towers, and mysterious tomb like buildings spotted on my journey there, but there was a feeling I had the entire time of being watched. Upon entering the Inn, there is a strange woman at the desk, she never quite made me feel i was truly welcome, even though I'm quite certain this is her job as Inn Clerk!

6pi--Funny name, beautiful sim

4 August 2009 - 6:48pm — Jenn Hienrichs

 

Well, I have been having fun finding some really great LMs of the Day lately. Thank goodness I've been paying attention to Koinup and Flickr lately! While perusing a SL group page on Koinup I noticed a scene that I thought, surely, could NOT be Second Life, it just looked too much like it had been pulled out of a children's illustrated story book! 6pi is indeed in-world, and it might make you feel as if you have stepped into the pages of a story book! The colors and textures are immediately standing out as this sim's focal point, until you begin to wander around and you notice the landscaping, various buildings, and a variety of shoppes. Strewn about the sim you'll find tiny blue transparent cubes in which you can animate yourself for photos.

Wandering Spirits--Robots, Art, and More (oh my!)

1 August 2009 - 8:21am — Jenn Hienrichs

 

When writing up Landmarks of the Day, I am usually struck by a particular aspect of a sim. Whether it's the art, the gardens, the theme, or the landscaping, usually one thing clearly stands out to make me realize "THIS is going to be a LM of the Day!" Well today's LM of the Day, Wandering Spirits, is a little different. I can't quite put my finger on why I want to feature this sim, but the more I explored the place, the more I wanted to share it with you all!

Frank Lloyd Wright Museum of SL

25 July 2009 - 5:26am — Jenn Hienrichs

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.
