Surfing beach in Bellisseria with surfboard rezzes. This will be pretty cool when the landscaping and houses nearby have been completed.

Maybe someday, the technology will improve to prevent artificial light traveling through solid objects.  The performance hit likely makes this a nonstarter, but there is no harm in wishing.     

There is already solution:
Projector light + shadows on <--- no light will leak through solid objects.

Non-projector (AKA ordinary lights) will always pass through solid objects.

This has been one of my favourite dancing places for many, many years.  Tropicana Habana Salsa Ballroom 

[What is your avatar height!?]

All my female avatars are 1.78 m (measured with prim, which is the only accurate way to measure the height). I have one male avatar which is 1.90 m.

Testing Qatwa HDPRO Queen head on my alt.

Skin (BOM): Nuve - Xia (group gift)
Eye shadow (applier): Nuve - Valentina (group gift)
Lipstick: From Qatwa HUD

Nice head it is. My alt is totally happy with it. 🙂  It appears that it is fairly easy to make Asian looks on this head with proper skins.
(My main account will  stay on Lelutka Ryn head which is also very nice one. Good to have different looks between main and alt).

Few outside images from my Havana OW home. I had earlier the two story Lauderdale OW house. For a change I decided to try single story house. Both work well for me. Perhaps the single story house is even nicer one.

Anybody interested to have a look is welcome to visit. There is bumper boats rezzer. Have a ride if you want to. You may feed the chicken. 🐔 😄

A dance with my old friend.
I took 21 snapshots while dancing 📸, trying to capture the "perfect" moment.   This one came out as the nicest one. 🙂

I don't know where the name "Heterocetera" came from; possibly from the Linden who was into electronic music groups but isn't here any more. It was related to a Greek myth -- and actually the makers of The Sims Online (Will Wright) drew on the same concept of that body of water with the concentric circles in their main land body.

This doesn't really tell the history critically and I think is factually wrong but it's got some useful information.

Maybe the name "Heterocetera" was invented by Prok? And the name "Etcetera" too?
I have never ever heard that continent called by either of those names.
As far as I know it's always been called "Heterocera". Even the Wiki article linked above calls it Heterocera - not Heterocetera.

(I understand that sometimes it can happen that we read some name right, but our memory distorts it a bit and we continue to use the distorted name without even realizing it.)
