Aethelwine Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) Hmm maybe another view: For the eagle eyed amongst you, you might be thinking that lighthouse looks like a model of the one on Fastnet Rock... and you would be right.. a wonderful iconic build by RJ Kikuchiyo. The Lighthouse also hosts a memorial to sailing innovators and leaders in SL ... Edited April 16, 2021 by Aethelwine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufferta Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) Blake Sea - Haggerty - 77/94/69. Darn, I was all over this area yesterday, but didn't think to look up. I did get to admire a lot of the Blake Sea area yesterday, though - very beautiful! Sidenotes: I was using an old version of the Continent locater script in my "Where the heck am I?" bracelet, and I found that it has been updated to include Sharp. http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/ContinentDetector Loren Fox has updated many maps and also produced a HUD so that you can find rezzing areas. Free on the Marketplace. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Mainland-Maps-RezZone-LandMarks-FinderHUD-MAREFI/20221306 There are new exhibits at the New Kadath Lighthouse, including a page that shows Jack Linden's early drawings of some of the continents. Simple's Zoo in Lythria is now gone, but there are still vestiges in Plebeja, where you can still cam in and pick up some freebies or buy some books or buildings. Edited April 16, 2021 by Rufferta Adding information, in case I am not the last person to know some things. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufferta Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) Wearing my mecha-suit Borok I was concerned that, with the water on one side being 86 feet, and on the other side 16, this dam would not be able to hold back the huge weight of the water behind it. I was reassured that it has been standing since Eric Linden built it in Sansara years ago. Behind the dam there is a Marina, and at the bottom of the Marina there is a small section of the Public Land Preserve with furniture for mermaids and some freebies including a book "What Mermaids & Mermen Ought to Know About MATING". On the other side there is a narrow river, spoiled by some unfortunate builds and over-eager security orbs, that ends in a bay near the Snowlands. Where was I?

After Sylvia found it I went to take a look, it took me a while to find the Mer area.. it is a bit further away than I imagined for the description but worth it when I did the parcels around it are magical. The Deep Art Gallery and beyond it the underwater decorated linden waterway with projected lights and fishy structures. Did you notice inside the wall itself, like some others is one of Prok's cult of the True Linden things? along with a Nicole Linden Bear? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was aware of the Dinken Gallery, but not of the wonderful underwater passage beyond it. Seeing these things makes me hopeful for the survival of the Mainland. I had forgotten that the dam wall was hollow - I wonder why Prok put up the monument? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, but I think I noticed similar in the Sutherland dam with a Cult of the True Linden room inside it, perhaps there are others around that area too.

Thank you! I have always loved fireworks, and these were something special. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufferta Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) This is not a permanent landmark, but I thought it was worth seeing. It is in Gaeta V. On both sides of the Linden road there is a nonprofit organization dedicated (as far as I can understand) to saving the atmosphere. On one side is their building and educational exhibits, and on the other side there is a large green dinosaur and a Minecraft cow. On the rise behind the dinosaur is an art exhibit by a Japanese artist Yanamizuki (Yana). Her gallery and her blog feature scenes from Second Life. None of the art appeared to be for sale, but there are two free calendars on the outside front of the gallery enclosure. Down the road, beyond the rocky parcel surround, is a very modern house that looks like it is in a sea of liquid mercury. At night settings the top of their surround has rainbow lights. While I usually hate parcel surrounds this one is very lovely at night. Where was I? (Just Region name is fine) By the way, the map seems to be coming back! Yeah!

Aethelwine Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 Whilst looking for a location on this thread earlier I stumbled across something I thought had been lost, the location for CORE, Cult of Ruth Eternal. A Monumental scale reproduction of Philip Linden's pants, a Hippo for meditation and some gifts. Originally in Tilsit but for the last 12 years elsewhere.. https://secondlife.fandom.com/wiki/Cult_of_Ruth_Eternal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rufferta Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I used to live on a small parcel near the edge of the Snowlands in Sansara. I remembered that one of the neighbors had alien space vehicles on his land. I went back to see if they were still there, and they have evolved, gotten bigger, and are attacking a long-established building products store!

Clue: I went back to take another photo and decided not to, since the map has been fixed, the space bugs are so big that they show up on the map! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
