Destination: Haunted Winterland

As I have written in an earlier article I will try to introduce a few of the many Winter Wonderlands which are made within the OpenSim communities. I, for sure, will not get 'em all but a few. One very special I found is on the grid "Insula Aeternum" by Seya and Kai Devin. The region is murderous cold, virgin white and bloody red and is called "Haunted Winterland 2014".

Actually it is a smaller island on a deep frozen(!) thin iced (!) lake. But more of that later.
Arriving at "Haunted Winterland", you find yourself in a snowy gazebo with a very special seasonal decoration.

From here, a stairway leads to an archway of trees and further to a summer greenhouse which now is covered by ice and snow and spread over a small frozen lake on the island.

But a windmill and a watermill to my left caught my attention and I walked in this direction first.
To get there, I crossed another frozen lake, said "Hello" to a not so good looking guy resting (?!) in the snow.

The windmill itself was not of a big attraction but the shack beside holds a nice little scenery.


What one will discover in the watermill, I can't show because this is nothing for the faint-hearted. just a peak.

On my walk around the island, I saw Santa using an odd vehicle for travelling and bringing the X-mas goodies.

We all know snowmen but drag snow queens ?? (x-rated !)

Hope it is not too cold down there, Sir !!

Oops, what was that sound, oh oh the ice cracks.............ah........sorry.......aeh.....have to stop here.........see.......you.....lahhhhhhhhhhht........

Destination: Dar Pha

South of "Angmar" one will find a big structure sitting in the middle of the sea, "Dar Pha". Nobody knows you has build it but it is assumed the Mayan may have done it.

The structure is a stone building with a tall slim tower in the middle, connected to four smaller towers via odd looking viaducts.

To reach the building a long bridge is build from the shore to "Angmar" to the basement.


The basement is a big pond. On four sides water fells a great height into that pond.

Knowing th builders of Ignis Fatuus and their buildings, I jumped in the water outside the pool, and yes the structure continues underwater.


Archimedes' screw pumps transport the water to the tops of the tall towers in the middle of the viaducts from where it falls on its inner parts in a basin at the top of the middle tower. A big screw then leads the water to the waterfalls.


There is another level above the basin, from where one can reach the tops of the towers, build in the viaduct.


Being up there, find a red diamond and click it and be surprised ;-)
Lucky I am, I met an inhabitant who told me that it is assumed that "Dar Pha" is a structure, build to control tides and waves. But nobody knows what kind of culture has build it. For my opinion it could be good enough to produce electricity with some additions.

"Dar Pha" is again a very impressive building by the team of Ignis Fatuus and really worth a travel.

Destination and Art: Arles

We are in the Netherlands and Belgium at about the second part of the 19th century (1870 - 1890). The working period of a famous post impressionist dutch painter: Vincent van Gogh.
That we can travel back in time is made virtual real in the Littlefield Grid by Mudpuddle Cleanslate.

His idea was (and still is) to transform van Gogh's paintings into a virtual scenery.

It is really amazing what Mudpuddle has brought into a virtual being.

Fishing Boats on the Beach at Saintes-Maries (1888)


Farmhouse in Provence, also Entrance Gate to a Farm with Haystacks (1888)


Langlois Bridge at Arles, and Woman with an Umbrella (1888)


The Old Mill, 1888


The White House at Night (1890)


The Night Café 1988


Cafe Terrace at Night 1988


Entrance Hall of Saint-Paul Hospital, 1989


These are only a few of the 17 motives Mudpuddle have staged. A real amazing work.
As always I am not going to show it all. The "Hyperzette" just want to whet your appetite. To have the meal, just jump to the place.
But before I will finish this review, there is one more to say. Just see if you find this:

....click......

and watch out not to be slayed by oilpaint.

Tipping my hat to Mudpuddle Cleanslate. A well done and great region.
