It was not taken during the same session as the picture I posted Monday, but it is very obviously the same build. I set the lighting in a few of my shots to have as much contrast as I could manage, with an eye to taking one of them down to black and white. Then when I did that, I thought, "Hey, a little color might be nice..." So, much jaw-clenching and shouting at Photoshop later, mischief managed. Now I need a muscle relaxer Really great picture, love that clair-obscure! What I also like about the landscaping is that the house is so cosy sheltered by the trees but at the same time in connection via vistas with the open water. Anyways, photoshopped like a pro. And I also shout at PhotoShop from time to time 🙂 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scylla Rhiadra Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Visited the mosque at Ross. It's lovely and peaceful -- and @Prokofy Neva has set up a place to donate to UNRWA, for the relief of Palestinians in Gaza. (Take off your shoes before entering the mosque!) https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Ross/128/240/45 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simo Vodopan Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I figured I'd do a otter as well. I thought it would be pretty fitting considering I hang around ocean sims frequently and love naval things. Wanna play? As they say the water is fine. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scylla Rhiadra Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 The always-lovely @MoiraKathleen dropped by Unity Station tonight so that I could take her picture! This is not it, but rather a quick unauthorized pic of the two of us chatting afterwards. I also FORCED her to friend me! I really am unscrupulous! Do NOT trust me!

Sid Nagy Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 (edited) I have been invited to produce a gift for the upcoming 5th anniversary of Bellisseria in April of this year. So today I was running through the provided notecards and when I looked up from all that, there I was: Box on my hand, shoe lost. How did that happen? Man o man, after 17 years of SL there is still a noob in me. Do I have to visit Orientation Island now?

It doesn't seem like 5 years already since Bellisseria opened - time has really flown by. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lay off the innocent routine. You know full well that this is tendentious. If you are going to be political -- and you are being political about one of the most divisive issues in current world events -- at least be forthright about it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My posting stemmed from my faith (which I'm happy to explain in private) and from compassion for an innocent family. Did I accuse you of taking political sides in your post about donations to UNWRA in a mosque? No, because I presumed you were acting from compassion for innocents, and were not making a political point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, because I presumed you were acting from compassion for innocents, and were not making a political point. Your compassion for innocents is commendable. I share your horror at what happened on October 7, and your concern for the hostages, whom I think should be released now, without conditions. But you are showing a "Christian Pledge for Israel" sign in your pic; the CUFI is hardly a non-political group. My pic about Prok's mosque and her tipjar for UNWRA is definitely about compassion, but I don't bat my eyelashes innocently and pretend that it's "non political." How naive do you think we are? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tripped over myself not to raise this issue in a way that would spark contention, and I've already said too much. I don't at all object to Garnet's show of compassion for hostages or her support of Israel; what I find eyerolling is the pretense that this is all very innocent and non-political. And this from a person who has upbraided others (including me) for introducing politics here. Said what I wanted to say, and I'm outta here.

Garnet Psaltery Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 @Scylla Rhiadra I have offered to explain to you in private how my faith is involved. CUFI is a Christian organisation, working to overcome anti-semitism. I have Jewish relatives and know how scared they are. You have your views and I have mine, and it's plain we're not going to see eye-to-eye. I don't think either of us is doing anything but being sincere, and I'm sorry but I haven't many lashes left to bat, even if I wanted to do so.

There is only one room on the Island with security enabled. Our personal bedroom. Everywhere else, including inside the house, is public. We only set security there because we have had unwanted "guests". Edited February 24 by Bagnu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
