"Not everyone was here in the years of Second Life's infancy. Before sculpts, before mesh, before Windlight.

"In the United States’ modern mythology, Route 66, established in the 1920s, emerged as a symbolic way to hope and freedom, to the promises of a better life or to the dreams of a more authentic existence on earth. This set of images also comes to my mind when I visit Mother Road – Mirage Motel 66 in Second Life, which, together with its neighbor sims, presents a small town built on the desert along a representation of probably the most famous highway that the US has had."

"There is this really great new sim called Cravone City. Its an urban New York style sim. Being a New Yorker myself, I am always drawn to that urban scene: the hustle, the bustle, the crossing the street and not getting hit by a taxi - you know normal city stuff. So when i visited it I had this idea. I called an old friend of mine to do a field trip with me - Strawberry Linden." Read more on Flickr.
