snow | Wandering

So tired of snow in this life, I went looking for anything without snow in Second Life. First stop, Bryn Oh’s The Singularity of Kumiko. Figured out how to open the red door (which I forgot to pic), but after that, and crossing the barren landscape, it was hard to know what to do in the house-like structure with all the light streams. There were a couple of art installations, I think, that played with gravity, but it was difficult to walk and get anywhere else.

I did not pay attention enough to the directions in the foyer, which I blame for my not getting all I could have out of it. Now that I’ve seen part of it, I will be going back to do what I’m told, and not wander aimlessly.

I tried to go to Prehistorica after that and was logged out. Try again.

I wouldn’t take no for an answer this time and went to a few destinations marked as Winter Attractions, determined to find an interesting snowy spot, minus the naked exhibitionists and poorly created holiday theme items. I also determined that I would just walk away and come back when everything was rezzed, or mostly everything.

I ended up in Imaginaria–good name, but not as imaginative as I had hoped for. Pretty, yes, but a pretty traditional winter scene. I think I was hoping for something more imaginative, still it was a nice build. Okay, there was one naked person (?) in the pond, but it wasn’t that realistic and didn’t spoil the experience.

Then I went to the Old Europe Winter Village, but did not skate. It was okay, but then I just teleported back to Glasgow Caledonian University, where they had their own bang up job of snowy trees and lights and falling snow–which does not show up in the stills, of course.
