SLURL™: Caledon Eyre

Lots of things to see here. The Oddities shop is really neat. Next door to it is this giant milk carton. As I walked past it dawned on me that I had just seen a familiar picture. That’s the first time I’ve seen something like this. Very funny :)
You’ll need to walk up the path a bit from where you teleport in. You’ll find it. There’s a house around too that has a spectacular greenhouse. I don’t have a snapshot of that. It was unlocked when I visited, not sure if it always is or not. It’s lovely.

There’s other lovely things, so check it all out.

Wait for the train!

The first time I went, it just arrived when I landed. The next few times, I’ve had to wait a few moments. The train ride is great. Hopefully the sim loads quickly so you can enjoy the ride properly. It’s a lovely area. Don’t forget to stop off in their sandbox area and read the rules, they’re serious but at the same time I found them really funny. I don’t mean that as insulting.. they really are just funny. Particularly the bit about explosives.

I’ll let you know what else I find!

I took a class tonight at TUi. This one was a pre-class. This one was to make sure we had the programs downloaded and had them working for the classes in the next three days. I’m not sure I can attend all three, but I’ll catch them next round if I miss any. I already had things downloaded ahead of time.

The best part was learning to use Wings-3D. We made a mushroom in class.

Opus Free Port

SLURL:  Opus Free Port - Victorian SteamPunk

I love this island.  Camera out and take a look at the island shape.  I had a short chat with the Guv’ness of the island, Talia Tokugawa.  She’s just nice as can be!  I’m pretty excited about her in-progress fishing project.  She also mentioned how the island’s games will shape together, it sounds incredible.  I can’t wait :)
The island is just lovely and if you camera out you can see just where her island ends and the next begins.  I started walking and ended up in another area, which was equally as nice!  I forget the name, had the word “Cat” in it I’m pretty sure.  Mew.

I love rusty stuff in SL™.  I think I really do like SteamPunk Victorian.  It’s just beautiful.  The rust, the steam, the cogs.  /whee *backflip*   Somewhere in my bags I have this weird hat I made where it uses mouse wheel power, has a magnifying glass, a candle for the light.  I should put that on and wear it around the steampunk lands.

Trying to find more that aren’t just shops, I’ll post SLURLS as I find them!

There’s also a salvage hunt going on at Opus Free Port too, but I couldn’t find any pieces.  I’ll go back later.   Just like a kitty to get all up in the camera lens.   Mew.
