Lilian Hak - Never Speak to Strangers

The Dutch singer and composer La Pat (Patty Trossèl) with Vielleicht. Sang in German and French :-).

That's a real compliment from such a classy lady!

Was big fun at Chelsea's! Here some pics whitout the ghost LOL. And we all fitted in the elevator, a miracle! With Gregorian Chant, Eddy Vortex, Vael Faye, Stella (istelathis) and me.

We did it. Istelathis, Eddy Vortex - Georgian Chant, Vael Faye and I made group pictures at hotel Chelsea! I have never seen the lobby that crowded. And we even managed to get all of us in the elevator. Pictures soon!

No zombies, but ghosts, yes 😉

This is stunning. Very dreamlike. In fact, when I recall my dreams, the light is allways perfect and the colours are too, much as in here.

Very Sharon Stone! 🙂

I always do 120 meter, in ' the wild west' where I live now extending the drawing depth further would the sky look like a traffic jam

Yes, definately. And which continuitly? Every parcel/ landowner makes a SL world of his own.

This is really so kind that I don' t know what to say.

No, it only is that way because I searched for land to put villa Utrecht on it, only later I had the idea to make a Dutch themed land on the parcel I already had and I bought some neighbouring parcels that were abandoned. The only thing is that I want to make it open for public, but where this land would be is not really important, accessibility does.

I did, and this works. But my land is open to public (and a second Life destination) and this is not the view I would like my visitors to have (derendering only works for myself I suppose). I guess it's part of living in Mainland: there are no rules here,, which I support, because that's Mainland and if you begin with rules, where does it end? And the second thing is that because I have a Dutch themed land, it makes it more difficult in this environment. Because The Netherlands are a flat country with a far horizon. No mountains that could hide objects of neighbours that do not fit in the 'Dutch country life' theme. Maybe I could go to the skye also and make a skybox of it. I am still thinking of a solution. But first I will invite the neighbours to tea :-).

I was thinking a lot lately about how I will handle my time in RL, my work and Second Life. I have noticed that SL does take up a lot of my time. If it's worth it, it's not a big deal. But sometimes it gets a little bottlenecked. So I'm thinking about winding down my time in SL anyway. The deciding factor was a number of things also happaning around my land Dutch estate. Back in December, someone had built a huge giant castle right next to my land, the size of an apartment building. This is now gone, but today all of a sudden, several buildings are hanging in the air, close to my border. No forest, row of trees or privacy screen will help against this. I'm still thinking about it, but whether it pays to spend a week turning my land into spring and putting all this time and effort into it I honestly don't know. I will of course have a discussion (again) with the neighbors. But it is an issue I have been struggling with for a while and this is nothing more than an occasion. Perhaps I'll leave it like this for a while, or I'll sell my land and start Dutch estate in a quieter place some time from now. I'll will see, but I'll keep smiling, mind you!

Vive La Fete - Maquillage (Live) (They're sort of addictive) Makeup It's camouflage And I don't like it Maquillage c'est camouflage et je n'aime pas

I promised myself to wait until March. and I love snow, but to be honest I can't wait to bring some spring in here. Well, a couple of weeks and then the crocuses, daffodils, snowdrops and tulips raise their heads above the ground.

Hounered you stopped by! 🙂

Playing patience in the Old Holland Mill, at home, Dutch estate.

This last snowy month at Dutch estate I placed in the old mill framed pics and a drawing from 1963 when the 'hell of 1963' was skated, one of the three of the 'Elfstedentocht (West Frisian: Alvestêdetocht, English: Eleven cities tour) of the last 50 years. The Elfstedentocht of 1963 became known as "The hell of '63" when only 69 of the 10,000 participants were able to finish the race, due to the extremely low temperatures of -18 °C, powder snow and a harsh eastern wind. Conditions were so horrendous that the 1963 winner, Reinier Paping, became a national hero, and the tour itself legendary. Paping could not make out the finishing line as he was snow blind by the end of the race, and many of the contestants had frostbite, broken limbs, and damaged eyes.
