"I know I wrote about Zakk Bifrandt just a few weeks ago when I highlighted his circus pictures. But I cannot let this stunning photo go unremarked. He was inspired by Loreena McKennitt’s “Caravanserai” [to listen, click here] to create this picture in Second Life and that is what he did." Read more on the blog.

"I was somewhat surprised to learn, during my recent visit to the “What the Buzz” pollinator garden, that honeybees are the only type of bees that live in hives! Not only is this a beautiful and serene space to explore, but it also serves as an educational hub for all things pollinators. As I strolled through the garden, I observed beehives up close, and visited a market featuring bee-related products." Read more on the blog.

"Before Christmas I decided to treat myself to a mini break at the Poconos SKI Resort created by Highlife Destinations in Secondlife. I had such a great time which you will see for yourself as I went Snow Boarding, Paragliding, A hot stone massage and so much more. I seriously was tempted to extend my stay."

"The illustrious Chelsea hotel in NYC, many have heard of it. And legendary it was! Bob Dylan composed songs there and the poet Allen Ginsberg wrote there. But there are more famous names among the guests: Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Leonard Cohen, William S. Burroughs, Arthur Miller and Patti Smith. And, of course, Nico, my tragic heroine of all time. New York's Chelsea hotel may have been saved from ruin by being sold and pimped up, but it has now become an average luxury hotel that will no longer accommodate future artistic bohemians, if only because of its price. However, the Second Life version of Hotel Chelsea stayed true to the old atmosphere and ideals." Read more on the blog.

"Knowledge is power, but also corrupting. One of the most famous alchemists learned this after delving too deep into black magic trying to bring back their family. The local guard executed them storming their private abode and what they discovered was a small library of ancient tomes and the only caretaker in the room, a dancing doll? Do you dare enter their domain?" Read more on Flickr.
