The Trace |
Second life is full of beautifully designed sims to
explore, find adventure, and to see visions we couldn’t see in RL without the
use of some strong, good old fashioned hallucinogens. Today, I bring you the five most beautiful
(to ME, remember, beauty is in the eye of the beholder) places currently in SL.
The
Trace, The Trace Too
This is a beautiful sim, with autumn trees all over, the
ground covered by a thin, brilliant layer of yellow, orange and red leaves.
Perfect for fall, and with a rustic, country charm to it, this place is perfect
for either a romantic date, taking photos with your sweetheart, or just doing
some good old fashioned photography! Especially charming was the barn with the
horses around it, and the gazebo behind it on the hill to the left added that
special note of home to this lovely autumn landscape. Do check this one out!
Skye Neist Point |
Skye
Neist Point
You land in a sun
ray dappled meadow, right in front of a beautiful wooden bridge over a stream.
Little white flowers pop up by a pond, and this trail is definitely one you
want to take in first person view, to get the full experience. This gorgeous
sim screams for a picnic basket and a loved one. Or a quick, earthy run with
your dog through the woods. Whatever your speed, this a stunning place to come
explore. I really love the shafts of sunlight filtering down through the thick
trees, so beautiful, and so real!
Makeahla Jungle |
Makeahla Jungle
Ever wanted to go on Safari, but you can’t afford it, and
don’t want to accidentally support poachers? Go to Makeahla’s Jungle! I ran
into the lions first, then (ahhhh!) running from them, I found a much safer
spot, next to the Zebras, who all grazed calmly upwind of the predators that
could eat them for lunch. As if knowing this, a vulture rests on one of their
backs, just biding his time. White birds fly over head, but I don’t recognize
what type they are. Giraffes stretch their long legs out to the side to drink
from what looks like seawater (don’t do that, it’ll make you sick!) while others
stride through it with heads in the sky. This is a rad, rad, place, I can’t
really say more because I need the room for others, but you’ll miss out if you
don’t see this sim!
Baja Cove |
Baja
Cove
You guys didn’t think I wouldn’t include a beach, did
you? Of course I’m going to! Baja Cove is a neat, happening little beach where
you can surf, check out a towel and get some sun, or just bask in the raw power
of the ocean as its waves break the shore. There are even rentals there if you
just can’t tear yourself away from salt in the air and the barking of
sunbathing seals. The sound of the ocean is well represented here, and you’ll
find when you close your eyes you can almost feel the biting sting of ocean
wing, and the smell of salt heavy in the air. Go here for peace, and water fun!
Runestone |
Runestone
This is just, quite simply, a beautiful place to visit.
Trees are everywhere, big, leafy, and beautiful. There are waterfalls, and an
underwater area to hang out for those of us who prefer to be a mermaid. There
are a collection of cottage type houses, almost like you might find in Skyrim. A beautiful fireplace warms the
main floor of the house I enter, which has three levels. At the ground level,
you find the living space, rustic, and old fashioned, the ambiance somewhat
spoiled by the massive white Greedy Greedy lettering to the right of me, the
only blemish in an otherwise perfect medieval theme. You can, and I did, spend
lots of time here, exploring both above ground, and under water. If you’ve
never been, I highly recommend you check it out!
