For my simploring tour on August 17th I picked “Big Sky Over Florence” fom scoop.it SL Destinations. My last visit to Florence was in February 2020 (read here)
Florence is a moderate homestead owned by Gnaaah Xeltentat and Tomaso Franizzi. The sim was designed by Elvira Kytori. Some of the islands and home decoration on the sim is from Ines Lauria (Ines Shelby).

Where you land you can grab a notecard with a well fitting description of what to expect when you visit Florence:
“Thank you for visiting Big Sky Over Florence. It’s a much smaller and very different version then I’ve shown previously on game. I wanted Big Sky to have a “simpler” feel with an emphasis on relaxation, exploring, and taking photographs (if so inclined). I hope you’ll enjoy…
There is a lot of water, and small islands interspersed with beaches and homes you can spend time/relax in. All houses are for public use. Feel free to wander inside them all.. There is a boat rezzer at the main landing area for traveling about (Easier perhaps as there are no paths connecting islands!) Of course, flying is always an option.
Not a huge sim, but one where hopefully you’ll find a quiet spot to enjoy a bit of SL nature with friends, or by yourself.

Warmest Regards! Gnaaah 🙂“

There’s not much to add to Gnaaah’s text. Florence in it’s newest Summer 2022 iteration is once again a lovely place, that invites to explore, take pictures and to sit down and watch the world and the time go by. And that is what I did. I made no orientation map this time as it would just read “island, beach, lovely spot, outlook, house, lovely spot, island”.

I tried a lot of the lovely spots, had the music on (chill-out music channel is preset at Florence) and just enjoyed and calmed. So this report is short and just provides some pictures of this lovely sim.
There’s a flickr page for Florence here.

Thank you Elvira Kytori for the sim design, thank you Gnaaah and Tomaso for sharing your place publicly including all houses.
I enjoyed my visit.
