Nasty Medicine Falls.

Temple The.

Awaiting a deity.

Confluence influence.

11:30pm:

Quite a crowd assembled at Mysten’s newly rezzed TILE Temple tonight. Everyone appears to be jostling for position, like in a horse race. Except this seems to be shaping up as another one of those deity races. Much too early for guesses about a winner yet. Incumbent Carrcassonnee obviously will have her chance.

Abandoned an additional 1536 in Rubi (512×3), bought an additional 1536 in Mysten to the immediate east of what I already had there (a 2048). Rezzed Collagesity’s TILE Temple again, along with a supporting stream this time with several waterfalls and cascades. Nothing in the temple yet. Hopefully I’ll have enough prim space left over to play around with stuff in a skybox.

The new stream seems to be the twin to the one running through the meat of Mysten Underhill. They end at the same place here, at the southwest corner of my Mysten properties. One again gets the impression that a lake should actually be in this corner, a common confluence.

TILE Temple to left, new stream waterfalls to right.

Interesting rock and dirt (sand?) pile found along the northern edge of the Leemington sim in central Nautilus, called a “corner tor” in the description. There’s nothing inside it, yet the object still has a rather hefty prim count of 52.

Nearby lonesome cottage in Underclaw. Looks very familiar to Baker Bloch. It should. 🙂

Ridiculous row of linden palm trees straddling the border between Yelloo and Far Sight from the same general area. Each tree is one prim apiece, and they seem to number in the hundreds. An even more obvious waste of land resources. But, hey, to each his own. And the palms don’t even make really effective border vegetation.

View of the trees from a Yelloo bay.

Small beauty spot in Ampollino 2 sims north of Far Sight that offers a bit of visual relief from the vast stretches of Nautilus mountain wastelands.

*Finally* a legitimately beautiful larger parcel was uncovered in Gualdo this night of exploring, several miles north of my home base in Mysten. It’s called Avian Retreat, a park dedicated to avian avatars and bird/nature lovers. A flock of parrots moved in from the right just as I was snapping the picture.

The green paneled hillside to the northeast provides Baker with a strenuous hike. At the top lies Rubin Mayo’s Tresor de l’Art gallery that I’d already visited the night before. Or Baker Bloch visited the night before. Certainly a more interesting Nautilus continent gallery. Here’s its blog:

I took this bucolic picture from the Aspen Farm located one sim north. Just over that mountain range in the background lies Tresor de l’Art.

More mountain scenery near a southern terminus of Route 12 in Camorro.

Contrasting underwater vegetation in what I call The Scorpion (sea) in upper east Nautilus: the brown kelp of Tetra to the right and Amago’s green seaweed to the left. These are the only objects found in each sim respectively.

We stay local for the first two pics, this coming from the Lilli Field village again and that table Baker Bloch has his eye on (nice backdrop!).

Glimpsing into the meat of the Church of the Silicon Soul, the heart and um soul of Mystenopolis perhaps and a place I desire to chronicle more for this blog quite soon. Again I’ll mention that the church grounds perhaps queerly ajoin the sim of Siliconicus to the south. Don’t know if this influenced creator psimagus Hax’s name for it or not. Logically you would think so, however. Perhaps he thought it was some kind of divine providence.

I went island hopping on the west side of the Nautilus continent the other day and found these nice waves on one of the numerous islands there. Haven’t seen this product before.

The multi-tiered SLLU community in Flagg and also Lori is always a fun place to visit, and offers numerous freebies within its various shops. Blogspot here. Inside the grungy building pictured below is secretly tucked the tranquil Trill Zapatero Gardens, named after a “wonderful SLLU creator and activist” according to the parcel description. Visit here; the rest of the village would lie to your west and south.

Baker Bloch biking the western loop of Route 12, representing by far the longest highway of the continent. At this end it narrows into what is basically a walking/biking path. Don’t think a lot of vehicles would fit through that rock overhang ahead, for example.

Baker also visited quite a number of Naultius continent galleries. In fact, I believe he visited each and every one advertised on Sasun Steinbeck’s SL art gallery list (map of galleries here). But sometimes he was more taken by the location of a gallery and the resulting scenery than its actual contents. This would be just off the red bricked Highway 14, with its Seven Chickens Bridge in the background.

This is called Van’s Wild Wild West Gallery, situated, perhaps interestingly, on the western side of Nautilus. It’s wild side as well?

Another shot from a gallery — can’t remember where. Looks like a bit of a Simpsons fan don’t you think?

I also can’t remember what I clicked on to get to this fabulous Cica Ghost exhibit, which moved me off of the Natilus continent. But the artwork within was so interesting I decided to include them in this post anyway. More links on Cica Ghost here, a very productive Second Life artist apparently.
