LOVE KATS
At this themed region features beaches in a quaint walled town with buildings surrounding a courtyard including tables for dining.  enjoy a glass of wine while you watch the sunset in this wonderful spot for photographers and romantic couples.















SNARL
Snarl looks like a messed up heap of swiggles, fiber, vine, tube, thingy... you get the point, lol!  Curls at random, in every direction.  It's about 4 kilometers high. It uses three different cycles for hue, saturation and lightness.  It rebuilds once per day, and it zig-zags between floor and ceiling. A fun trip, but don't stay too long  it'll drive you doolally...  lol!















 ASTRALIA
A place for solace, quiet contemplation and comfort for the soul, reminding us that beauty does not
necessarily have to meet with convention or aesthetic perfection.
Here you will find areas and locations with it's own theme - excellent for photoshoots, videos or
just to sit quietly and enjoy a little solitude.

Some of the areas you will find here are;  The Acorns - The Balloons - The Undergound - The Tree House - Crystal Palace - The Time Scale - Tram Desserts - The Small Art Gallery of Oema.

Surrounded by the 'pink planet' it gives the illusion Astralia is bathed in the northern lights... simply quite stunning.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
but the fire is so delightful.

Everwinter
Post Apocalyptic Theme Park
Fictional but Inspired by the abandoned amusement park in the real world city of Pripyat in the Ukraine.
Opened on May 1st 1986 in time for the May Day celebrations (decorations for this event are still in place in Pripyat today) but the plans were interrupted when on April 26 the Chernobyl disaster occurred a few kilometers away.

The park was opened for a couple of hours on April 27 to keep the city people entertained
before the announcement to evacuate the city was made.
Today, the park, and in particular the Ferris wheel are a symbol of the Chernobyl disaster.

The Forgotten City
I see something different everytime I come here.  An architectural feast for the eyes!

This is such a fun place to be.  I love the quirkiness, the exuberance and the candy coated colours, and the little stores are so cute, selling things you wouldn't normally see in sl - What a treat!

Terracotta Army
A life long dream to see the terracotta army in real life.  the secondlife installation and the life-size figures will take your breath away.  Discovered by farmers digging a well in 1974 in the eastern suburbs of Xi'an, Shaanxi province China, were startled to discover an intact terracotta head. From there acheologists began to unearth a cavernous underground vault containing an entire army of warriors meant to guard the Emperor Qin Shi Huang as he made his journey into the afterlife. 















Cave Rua Water Garden
Coral and seaweed mingle with these ruins, providing a haunting yet beautiful atmosphere to swim through.  
Look for the shipwrecks but don't get stung by the jellyfish. 
Other reefs and attractions are also in the area.
















Stonehenge in Space
Fly up high to visit and experience this new twist on one of the most 
famous monuments in the world.















Las Islas Republic 
One of the most relaxing tropical spot in the ancient Caribbean.















Southern Italy
A revival of an older project, LaPerla celebrates Mediterranean culture with this tribute to the real-world Tropea in southern Italy. Chill out at the classic cinema, admire the lilted architecture, and stargaze on the beaches.















The Loneliness of Being
 A contemplative and live installation by artist Ian Pahute.
 Set on a beautiful, isolated island, The Loneliness of Being is a live cloud of a thousand 
ever-changing words. Drawn live from the Internet, the cloud is always evolving, 
always reflecting the now. Some see nothing more than foggy letters. Others see 
hidden meaning and personal insight.
