For my first exploration in 2021, I visited Tempura Island. Near the landing area is a gorgeous, autumnal forest that filled my heart with the joy of being alive, and able to experience this kind of beauty…
… this is a very beautiful place, a particularly lush, baroque type of beauty…
… there is a palace that manages to be both classical, and slightly brutalist, with vaguely nouveau embellishment…
… it has gorgeous, intimate spaces, lavishly decorated in nouveau/deco style…
… and stunning, huge spaces, in a kind of byzantine/baroque style…
… it’s all very beautiful…
… filled with light that embellishes all the golden tones…
… really magnificent…
… breathtakingly so.

Beautiful photos as always..Is this the same Tempura Island, I might have visited 12 years ago?

I’m not sure, Karima, it’s the first time I’ve been there. All the buildings are obviously constructed out of manipulated prims, not mesh, something I noticed straight away, quite an ‘old fashioned’ SL construction method, so it could quite possibly be a 12 year old build.

Yes I am pretty sure it is the same but had an Asian feeling before and very peaceful ❤️

It’s actually called ‘Japan Tempura Island’, though there is no obvious Japanese influence, far more Byzantium/Central Asian, but it certainly sounds like it’s the place you visited. You’ve gotten me curious, now… I’ll try to find out how old the sim is (:
