When Seraphim first arrived in ‘Winter Hollow’, this morning, she found the windlight a bit harsh, and tried to create something better, but she couldn’t quite match it, so went back to it… and it quite grew on her. The pallet is almost monochromatic in it’s washedout-ness…

… and, by pure fluke, matched Seri’s colours beautifully…

… she soon found herself loving this winter landscape and it’s muted pinks/blues/greys, and the silently falling snow…

… there are actually a lot of buildings/structures in this sim, Seri had to go out of her way to create these ‘silent wilderness’ images…

… often, there are structures just out of the frame…

… but she much preferred the empty, silent, snow-blanketed-forest look.

Seraphim visited Yorkshire today…

… the sim is beautiful, with a pond, a train, and various buildings…

… but it was the stunning sky…

… and gorgeous, wild meadow that Seraphim loved.

Whenever Seraphim visits an ‘event’, if there is one, she always checks out the surrounding area, ever the explorer… she visited the ‘Flourish’ event, this morning, then checked it’s surrounding landscape… which was a beautiful gem called ‘Cooper River’. The uplands were quite lush, in a dry, desert-palette way…

… but the lowlands were just plain empty…

… in a beautiful, desolate kind of way that spoke of dead-end stories…

… and meaningless liaisons…

… in a place everyone would rather forget.

Today, Seraphim went to the ‘Mysterious Paradise Event’. Finding the actual ‘event’ pretty underwhelming, she wandered out a side exit, where she found a rope she could shimmy down into an interesting looking wild area. The first things she encountered were the ubiquitous SL howling wolves… she thought the ‘underwhelm’ effect was here, too…

… then she wandered into this wetland area, and started noticing all the gorgeous details, all the pretty wildlife…

… some of which was almost ‘overload’ in it’s cuteness, but not quite, it was just right…

… she continued to find beautiful, charming stuff, such as an Ent in the pollen-laden haze…

… a hawk contemplating her next meal…

… a Kingfisher, just contemplating…

… she slipped whilst trying to get onto a bridge, and discovered that there was an entire underwater world here, too…

… she clambered out of the water, to find herself in savannah lands, with lions and giraffes, then she found a tunnel that took her to an Arctic wilderness, with Polar Bears and foxes… she wound up beside the Arctic sea, the Northern Lights playing behind her. She was entirely blown away by this unexpected landscape of various wildernesses, all gorgeously assembled, and rich in wildlife. She would have to come back, there was just too much to take in in one visit. On the way out, she was more than happy to donate to the World Animal Protection organisation, for which this event and, she assumes, the entire build, are a fund raiser.

When Seraphim bought her D-Lab SP-Inago, she also bought several other D-Lab flying vehicles, one of which was this super-cute D-Lab Mini Air Truck. She took it for it’s inaugural spin around the block, today, going left from her gate platform, this time, and right around the block, so she came back from the right…

… it’s years since she’s made this circuit and, though there was the usual wasteland where once there were homes and shops, she found the coastal part still built up, and even saw some places that were there years ago…

… the coast was very picturesque…

… and, heading back inland, it was nice to see the cute topiaries beside the Circuit La Corse…

… she flew her gorgeous little space truck on into the dusk…

… really enjoying being on the road again, free as an alien in a levitating truck…

… finally touching down, once more, in the ‘Bunny Field’, next to her gate platform… home again, home again.
