Those of you that are Flickr followers might have seen some beautiful pics from the sim known as “Just Visiting“.  The sim name is Annwn Willows and the build has been created by Joanna Corith and friends in the “Just Visiting” group.  The creation offers mostly water with 5 areas that offer a different scene – from summery grass land to winter trees.  It provides beautiful backdrops for pics and also has a few areas for couples and friends to spend time together dancing or just hanging out.  In the past week, I have visited a couple of times, and the scenes have changed a bit which makes it more interesting.  While there, be sure to take the teleport to the shops in the sky where the creators sell a few things.

When I received a notice from Nalena Fairey via the SL House & Garden Too group in Second Life telling us that the Zigana sim was open again, I knew that would be one of my first stops when I logged in again.  Nalena’s last sim design was a watery, airy space and so well done.  I had no doubt that her newest build would be good as well.

Well, I have to tell you, this sim is just awesome.  Nalena still used a lot of water in much of the sim but then built up a hilly area with a little village and then paths to other sweet spots. The village sits into the hill with a lovely courtyard and the entry to her shop.

Nalena creates some awesome items for your sim and your homes…I just love her grasses and have used them on our last two sim environments.  Outside the village, you can head down to the little dilapidated pier and get a feel of the breeze coming across the water.  Nalena has placed a tree just off the pier with a swing, such a great place to sit and think for a bit.

Then back to dry land, the path heads up the hill to a camping area with a beautiful view and then on around to a wonderfully huge tree that appears to be a lively party scene.

The sim has such a relaxing, airy feel to it…nearly old world but with a sense of fantasy.  Definitely visit Zigana to see Nalena’s creations but also to explore her beautiful showcase.

Pandemonium @ Legion

Today, I found another jewel of a sim via the Showcase Search feature in Second Life.  Under the “Haunted” section, the first listing is Pandenomium @ Legion.  The description for the listing was intriguing enough to entice me to visit.  Showcase describes this location with this statement: “A cold chill whispers through the decrepit huts and sinister formations of this island, lonely paths leading deeper into the forest for those who dare”. 

I hit the teleport button and I was transported, soon finding my avatar rezzing within a creepy world… the description is very accurate.  I accepted the windlight change via my Phoenix viewer and the environment surrounding me became even more mysterious.

As I walked along the path and found the abandoned huts, I realized that there were eyes watching me as well.  A robotic eyeball fluttered about as another larger robot with a huge eye just turned and surveyed the land.   As you walk through the sim, you can imagine  a breeze wrapping around you yet you’d wonder if it were only a breeze.  The sounds will draw you in further as you moved into the dark forested land… what might you find around the corner?

Pandemonium @ Legion was built with wonderful detail by P4NDOR4 Quintessa.  I’d recommend visiting…and immersing yourself into the darkness of this awesome build.
