I went on a longer simploring tour Saturday, December 14th, and visited “Let it Snow! A Winter Wonderland” (read also yesterday’s post). I had fun exploring it, really a Winter Wonderland! I was about to finish my visit when Kitty came online. What a surprise. I summoned her to me and we danced in this romantic environment, we caught up just a bit. Mistress Jenny, who meets Kitty more often than I do, keeps filling me in about Kitty’s news.

At night I first spent some time at club Domme a Domme where Ann found and joined me. I took control and tied her up in her doll suit. I noticed slave Flo coming online and called her. She had started a game of skipee (alone, so that she wins *winks*). I went home with Ann and soon after slave Gwendi and Mistress came inworld. slave Gwendi had been sick a few days and we were happy having her back. After Flo had won her game (surprise, surprise), we went to Mesmerize Dungeon for about an hour. Mistress and I caught up with our mutual news, we talked about the upcoming holidays, we teased the slaves and had fun. And slave Flo and slave Gwendi had fun teasing Ann as their future sister slave.

Back home we played a round of greedy, then it was time for Mistress Jenny and slave Flo to leave. I tucked Mistress Jenny in and went to bed early myself.

I had quite some time inworld on Sunday, December 15th. I went visiting Lairig Leacach  (see Simploring 2019 (126) Lairig Leacach) first. It is Serene Footman’s particular holiday sim and outstanding as all of his work. Once again, Kitty came inworld when I was about to leave, but this time I really had to leave.

To my surprise Kitty was online when I returned in the afternoon. Now she was about to leave but I could convince her to come home and to meet me and slave Gwendi. I took a fwe pictures of us 🙂

After Kitty had left I took slave Gwendi with me to Heavy Bondage Club. slave Gwendi was more or less absent and I had some distractions of RL as well. Our former slave Dana called me and I summoned her to us. She’s was quite restricted and still searches her place in SL while causing trouble and having fun. We caught up a little but, then I had to leave for dinner.

At night Mistress Jenny, slave Gwendi, slave Flo and I had 2 rounds of greedy first, then we went to club DeLust where we spent the night. slave Gwendi danced for us, slave Flo decorated us well and slave slut cecy showed up later and danced for us as well. We had a very relaxed night together with the slaves and it was crowned with tongetherness at our skybox after the slaves had left.

Simploring 2019 (129) Let it Snow! A Winter Wonderland

When I visited the current exhibition at La Maison d’Aneli (see Simploring 2019 (123) La Maison d’Aneli Holiday season 2019/2020) I came across Milly Sharple who exhibits her pictures there. Milly Sharple is an artist and photographer from the UK in real life and has always enjoyed art and artistic expression. She’s in Second Life since 2008 and was perhaps one of the pioneers in introducing fractal art to Second Life. Milly established her own gallery “Fractal Insanity – The Art of Milly Sharple“. Milly Sharple has also a passion for region design and building in Second Life and creates a yearly Winter sim called “Let it Snow!” (Let it Snow! A Winter Wonderland 2019).

I hadn’t heard about it or at least I never visited “Let it Snow!” before. It was about time that I visited it. Saturday, December 14th, I went to this year’s installation “Let it Snow! A Winter Wonderland“. And I didn’t regret it at all! As opposed to I spent 2 hours in this lovely and picturesque sim. It’s just awesome.

Let it Snow! A Winter Wonderland – overiew

“Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!” is written in the fitting landmark profile and the tags are “Christmas, holidays, ice skating, cable cars, sledding, snowboarding, dining, dancing, ballroom, cafes, bar, photography, hangout, cosy cottages, ruins, woods, etc.” “Let it snow!” is a moderate homestead, owned and created by Milly Sharple.

The landing point is in a seperate hut. You get a list with landmarks so that you won’t miss a point of interest. I started my simploring tour at the Townsquare right next to the landing point.

Impressions of Let it Snow! A Winter Wonderland (1) – Landing point and Townsquare

The Townsquare is very picturesque. All houses are decoracted outside and in the center is a gazebo where you can sit and enjoy or dance. You find dancing animations in little red hearts at many spots in “Let it Snow!“

Impressions of Let it Snow! A Winter Wonderland (2) – Townsquare and Winter Carousel (lower right)

There is a little Winter outdoor bar where I took a first rest. Some of the stores are furnished and decorated also inside. Did I mention already that is it snowing at “Let it snow!“? Close to the Townsquare is the Winter Carousel, another nice motif for taking pictures.

Impressions of Let it Snow! A Winter Wonderland (3) – Ballroom, Rune Fortune Stone, Winter Angel Gazebo, Reader’s Retreat

I tried the Rune Fortune Stone, that provides different stones as giveaways, stones with a meaning: “This Rune is traditionally associated with protection and shelter. It’s form resembles an umbrella , and it teaches us that we must protect ourselves from negative emotions if we’re to succeed as individuals.”
“Let it Snow!” is a romantic Winter Wonderland, just the right place to go dancing with your loved one for example in the Ballroom or outside in the Winter Angel Gazebo. Or simply enjoy yourself and retreat to Reader’s Retreat.

Impressions of Let it Snow! A Winter Wonderland (4) – Church Ruins, Winter Walk, Ice Rink, Winter bar

I visited the Church Ruins and walked through the forest (Winter Walk). For those seeking more activity there’s an Ice Rink and next to it is a Winter bar to simply watch.

Impressions of Let it Snow! A Winter Wonderland (5) – Cable Cars and Toboggan slide, Winter Lodge (lower right)

In one corner of “Let it Snow!” is a small hill. You can either take a cable car or walk up on foot. Don’t miss trying the Toboggan slide, that’s fun! I also had a look into the biggest house almost in the center of “Let it Snow!“, that I named Winter Lodge. It is nicely furnished and another cosy place to sit and talk. You will find many cosy places spread all over the sim.

Besides that it is picturesque, romantic, built with love for the detail “Let it Snow!” is also quite outstanding for it’s simsurround that fits so perfectly that you hardly notice the boarders of the sim. Milly has added a moon and a curtains of snow around the sim and all the light sources are placed thoughtfully. More opportunites for taking pictures.

Impressions of Let it Snow! A Winter Wonderland (6) – Snowy Retreat and more

I’m glad that I came across “Let it Snow!” and I assume, it will become a regular place for me to visit during the holiday season. Thank you very much Milly for creating this Winter Wonderland and for providing it to the public! I had a great time.

Thursday, December 12th, we had some time together in the afternoon again. Mistress took me to club Domme a Domme and later to club DeLust. We caught up with our mutual news and we made plans for the night (that weren’t realized once again – never make plans in Second Life). Mistress Jenny exposed me and enjoyed her control and I enjoyed being at her feet and decorating her. When it was time to return to our RL again, Mistress locked me up at our skybox – because she can *winks*.

December 12th: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin Diomita at club Domme a Domme and at club DeLust / Diomita view on Mistress’ butt / Diomita locked up at home

Our night was completely different from what we had planned before. When Mistress came inworld she released me, hid the chastity belt and asked me to change into something domme. Just when we went down to see Angelique, slave Flo and slave Gwendi I got a longer unexpected Rl interruption and upon my return Mistress Jenny was at Mesmerize Dungeon with Angelique and slave Flo. slave Gwendi had went to bed, she had caught a cold and needed some sleep. Angelique left soon after my return and slave slut cecy came online and joined us.  We had a quite relaxed time together at Mesmerize Dungeon until slave Flo’s bedtime.

December 12th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at Mesemrize Dungeon with slave slut cecy and slave Flo / Mrs. and Mrs. Maurer dancing at .:Mt. Conners Station:.Winterland

Mistress Jenny asked me to select a nice place for a dance and I took her to .:Mt. Conners Station:.Winterland (see Simploring 2019 (128) .:Mt. Conners Station:.Winterland).
While we danced in a gazebo there surrounded by Winter wonderland Mistress Jenny unlocked my chastity belt replaced the Ehesklavin collar with our partnering collar. What a surprise! It was her first Christmas present for me. I may be at eye level to her and at her side until after Christmas. It felt strange after I have been in deep subspace for one month – and I hadn’t expected that at all. My submission to Mistress Jenny has become very deep and serious and there’s no way back, nor would I want that to change ever. Nonetheless I’m going to enjoy two weeks at Mistress’ side, at my wife’s side to the fullest. Thank you Mistress Jenny, my love!

Mistress Jenny and I spent a nice and relaxed hour in the afternoon of Friday, December 13th, at club Domme a Domme. We chatted and watched what was going on in the club and we made plans for the upcoming days. It felt great to be at my Mistress wife’s side. The rarer it happens the more I realize how blessed I am. And Jenny seems to enjoy the break as well.

December 13th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at club Domme a Domme / Diomita at Mesmerize Dungeon with slave Flo and Angelique

At night I was inworld early and bought a new outfit, then I met with slave Flo and we played one round of greedy. Angelique came by, dressed in a nice transparent skirt that revealed her plastic panties. Of course I teased her a bit about it and although she protested we went to Mesmerize Dungeon where I continued to pull some attraction to her. Mistress Jenny joined us there.

Friday nights we have our regular party. Virgo ran late and I could convince her to have “Come as you are” as the theme for this Friday. This way Angelique didn’t need to change *winks*. We had another great start into the weekend.

December 13th – Friday night party: slave Flo, Mistress Jenny, Diomita, Sarah Fhang, vero Hartmann, Angelique, Virgo (upper row) / Jammy Serendipity (navanaxsacratus), Della Randt, Starbright Wingtips, Firefly (rmf361sim), papafox57, illa Quan, Jopy Weber (lower row)

 

Backflash December 2019 – Season Greetings (December 4th, 2012)

21 Dec 2019 Leave a comment

by diomitamaurer in Backflash of the month Tags: , , , , ,

In the “Backflash” series I select an old entry once a month and present it here. This way I force myself to browse in the archive and to fresh up a few of the many memories. For our readers this series shall provide an insight into our Second Life without reading back the many posts and it might also give reason to browse through the archives.

For December 2019, I scrolled 7 years back to December 2012 and found a post about our home and about our friend Argi. Argi came to us during a roleplay in which we caught her and kept her as out victim for some weeks. For some reason Argi was reluctant and resisted being collared by us and her resistance is ongoing up until today. The collar issue is a regular tease when we’re with Argi nowadays. She has become a close friend of ours. She’s kind of the union representative for the slaves, always fighting for them in a playful way. And all Maurers like to cuddle with Argi or at least to hug her. Also in a playful manner we call her Princess or Argichen. Argi has also a talent for invention new words in English or mixing words from different languages. And she’s always entertaining and can liven up any group of people.

The post “Seasol Greeetings” is quite short. I didn’t write as much as I do nowadays and I didn’t post that often. What you can see is how our home has changed with the years. Back in 2012 it all looked quite more basic. Also the graphic quality has increased a lot since 2012. I don’t get tired to say how much Second Life has also changed to the upside. We take the progress way to much as granted.

We still decorate our home for the season every year. And the gazebo that you see in this post is still the one we use today. We also alyes have the ice rink and some other smaller deco items, which accompanied us for many many years. Here’s the post:

Season Greetings

Another year turns to its end. It has become a nice tradition that we have some snow in SL in December until New Year. So we continue this tradtion. For us a familiar view in the meanwhile. For those new to us…well …. we have a “guest” right now, Argi Boa,  since a few weeks who is definitively freezing just by seeing snow in SL. We do have fun with her complains about the snow and her way wrapping up herself in the thickest clothes available.
We have decorated the house and prepared the ice rink. So at least here we do have a lovely winter holiday scenery.

We wish you all a great Advent season looking forward to some more quiet days around christmas and New year.
Love from Diomita & Jenny

Simploring 2019 (128) .:Mt. Conners Station:.Winterland

20 Dec 2019 1 Comment

by diomitamaurer in Exploring sims in Second Life Tags: , , , ,

For my simploring tour on Sunday, December 1st, I picked “.:Mt. Conners Station:.Winterland” from scoop.it SL Destinations.
.:Mt. Conners Station:.Winterland, furtheron also shorter just Winterland, is an adult homestead owned by Phil Conners (philconners) and OdetteBK and it is their private home.

.:Mt. Conners Station:.Winterland – overview

The landing point at Winterland is a bar waggon of an old train at Mt. Conners Station – although there’s no station. When you step out of the waggon you are in a Winter wonderland. Polar bears, deers and other animals liven up the white world.

Impressions of .:Mt. Conners Station:.Winterland (1) – around the landing point

Winterland is an island embedded in a fitting sim surround. It offers a lot of nice places to cuddle and watch. There’re games and places to dance. In the center is a large cage with a huge Christmas tree inside. On my simploring tour I saw a place for the Thanksgiving dinner, I came across an ice scating area, I saw a carousel and a frozen waterfall. The castle right next to the landing point is not really accessible and not furnished. The large and the small gazebo are particular romantic for dancing or for enjyoing togetherness.

Impressions of .:Mt. Conners Station:.Winterland (2) – the Christmas tree in the Cage / small ice Skating / Thanksgiving dinner / the carousel

Winterland is not overdone. It’s playful and peaceful and there’re some nice spots to simply enjoy or to have fun. The private residence of Phil and Odette is seperated from the public part of the sim by some hills and you don’t see it if you don’t zoom out. It goes without saying that you should respect the privacy.

Impressions of .:Mt. Conners Station:.Winterland (3) – ice Skating area, the small and the large gazebo / the frozen waterfall

For photographers the train with the steam engine is a great background but there’re more spots for taking pictures. If you seek a smaller, more private and not overcrowded place, Winterland is the place for you to visit. I enjoyed my visit to .:Mt. Conners Station:.Winterland. Thank you Phil Conners (philconners) and OdetteBK for sharing most of your sim with the public.

Diary 2019 (192) December 10th/11th The right attitude

19 Dec 2019 Leave a comment

Tuesday, December 10th, Mistress Jenny and I spent our time in the afternoon at club DeLust. We caught up with RL and with what happened the night before in SL when Mistress wasn’t present. Mistress kept on teasing me and to my surprise her dominance and my submission is still growing slowly but steadily and irreversibly.

December 10th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at club DeLust / Mistress Jenny, Diomita, Angelique, slave Flo and slave Gwendi at home

When I returned at night Mistress was playing skipee with slave Flo. Hence we gathered at the skipee table and slave Gwendi and I watched the game. When they were done, Angelique also joined us to say hello and good night. We went to Mesmerize Dungeon and her Radek (readek galaxy) with us. We chatted and watched and had fun. We moved on to Psi’s realm and watched the scenery there until it was time to go to bed. Argi came by for a quick kiss.

December 10th: Mistress Jenny, Diomita, Angelique, slave Flo and slave Gwendi with Radek at Mesemrize Dungeon and at Psi’s realm

Finally I had some time of togetherness with Mistress before we logged off .. and yes I got my fix.

Wednesday afternon, December 11th, our time in the afternoon was short as Mistress had to leave earlier. It was yet not too short for Mistress to tighten my collar.  She also put a chastity belt on my and locked it. I really hate chastity belts on myself because I can hardly wear anything domme with it and only just a very few more submissive clothes that look nice. In addition I fear the script load that might prevent me from simploring, if scripts are limited. Spontaneously I cursed, when Mistress put the belt on. Mistress admonished me, then she took me to Heavy Bondage Club for 15 minutes before we returned home as she had to leave again.

December 11th: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin Diomita at home and at Heavy Bondage Club

Back home Mistress expressed how much it pleases her to see me belted and that this should make me happy instead of making me curse. Consequently she had to punish me to enhance my attitudes and to work on my temper. She selected a light punishment and layed out crystal clearly that she will punish me harder if my attitudes don’t improve (and no, I won’t reveal what kind of punishment *winks*). Then Mistress left to tend to her RL. What an afternoon!

Our night started relaxed and wnad was quiet. Mistress allowed me to change and hid the chastity belt. We had a dance in the Christmas gazebo where Angelique joined us. We started with a round of skipee. Ann came by and showed us her Gummi bear costume and some dances. Really funny.
To our surprise still none of the slaves was inworld. Mistress and I went to club Domme a Domme and later to Mesmerize Dungeon after we had finished the skipee and after Angelique had left for bed. We watched the silent crowd, read profiles and chatted a bit amoung us. At Mesmerize Dungeon HS Anndroid (Ann aka TransAnn) joined us again for a few minutes. And unbelievably we also succeeded initiating some main chat.

For this months Enjoying Bondage series I selected a picture that I took at The Red Room on December 5th. I had parked slave Gwendi in a pillory there and slave Flo was dancing for Mistress and me. Ann and slave slut cecy joined us there too.
I selected a picture with Mistress Jenny sitting in a throne (quite befitting isn’t it?), myself standing next to her slave Gwendi in the pillory (Yes, although you only see her but, I can reassure you, it is slave Gwendi). I added slave Flo in her gord suit, in which we put her on December 8th. As this is the Enjoying Bondage series there has to be some bondage! I also add slave slut cecy from a picture that I took at Psi’s realm. slut is still wearing her isolation suit. Finally I placed Ann (Transann) in her black latex Mistress suit from a picture taken at Mesmerize Dungeon on the right just to add some spice to the picture.
As I couldn’t find a good title, this months picture is simply named “Enjoying Bondage and more…”

Diary 2019 (191) December 7-9th Quiet yet varied Days

17 Dec 2019 Leave a comment

Our time in Second Life on Saturday, December 7th, was short. Mistress and I were prevented from getting inworld during the day. We both came online late at night and wanted to relax. slave Gwendi was inworld and we took her with us on a tour through the clubs. Mistress and I talked with each other, we talked with slave Gwendi and we got some private chats. It was a relaxed night, exactly what we both needed. And that’s is already for the diary about Saturday.

December 7th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita with slave Gwendi at Mesmerize Dungeon, at Heavy Bondage Club and at club DeLust

Sunday, December 8th, started also relaxing. I first caught up with Mistress about our mutual news and Mistress allowed me to lick her and to get my fix. That was already a great start into the afternoon. We went to club Domme a Domme next and spent quite a while there. It ws busy and some main chat was going on. Hence we had something to listen and we also read profiles. I also saw an old acquaintance of mine  (I won’t reveal a name *winks).

December 8th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at home (left), at club Domme a Domme (middle) and at Heavy Bondage Club (upper right) / an old acquaintance of Diomita kneeling for another domme at club Domme a Domme (upper right) / Mistress Jenny and Diomita with sappy at the sandbox Mage

We left club Domme a Domme and went on to Heavy Bondage Club. After about 5 minutes Mistress vanished and crashed. On her return she told me that she was forced teleported and trapped at a sandbox named Mage. She also told me that sappy (durham novaland) was also there and trapped. Mistress was a bit puzzled about the forced teleport as she was not wearing a relay. Anyway we went to the sandbox but we couldn’t help sappy. In the end she had to use her safeword to unlock her relay in order to leave the trap. sappy told us that a dozend of people were teleported from Heavy Bondage Club to the sandbox – very strange.
Our time for the afternoon was up and we went home.

My night was quiet and nice. Mistress was prevented from coming inworld. I took slave Flo and slave Gwendi to Mesmerize Dungeon where we met Ann shortly. We had just a bit main chat but mostly were in private chat. I took slave Gwendi to Psi’s realm later and to Heavy Bondage Club before we went to bed.

December 8th: Diomita with slave Flo, slave Gwendi and Ann at Mesemrize Dungeon / Diomita and slave Gwendi at Psi’s realm

Monday, December 9th, I spent an hour with Mistress at Heavy Bondage Club. After we had caught up with our news we read profiles and we both had several private chats. Ann joined us and as she was wearing her cuffs and gear open I locked her up and set timers. Someone has to do it *winks*. We made contact to two potential subs. I think both will not fit but you never know.

December 9th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at Heavy Bondage Club with Ann

The night became varied for me. I first had two rounds of greedy with slave Gwendi. While we were playing one of the subs who contacted me at Heavy Bondage Club in the afternoon, called me and asked about the isolation suit in which we kept the slaves a few weeks before and which slave slut cecy was still wearing. I gave her the link to the marketplace, told her to wear it and to get ready for a being summoned.
I went to the house with slave gwendi and summoned the sub. Her name is Rio (riolamour). I took control and restricted her and gave her some simple rules to follow. Then I cared about slave Gwendi. A few weeks ago Mistress and I had asked the slaves to tell us their two favourite outfits. I unlocked slave Gwendi’s head cage and took it off. For the next days slave Gwendi will wear just the vixen set and a harness blindfold gag and she has to find something appropriate to wear with it. When slsave Flo joined us, I also unlocked her and ordered her to wear her gord suit. Ann had joined us in the meanwhile and stayed with us for half an hour. After I was done with changing the slaves I took them all to Mesmerize Dungeon.

December 9th – a varied night at home and at Mesmerize Dungeon: Diomita, Rio (riolamour) in the green/red isolation suit, slave Gwendi quite unrestricted, slave Flo in her gord suit, Ann and Argi

Ann left soon but Argi showed up. We had fun at Mesmerize Dungeon and entertained the club most probably. We returned home when it was slave Flo’s bedtime .. and we all went to bed.

Simploring 2019 (127) Winter @ Dream Bay

16 Dec 2019 1 Comment

by diomitamaurer in Exploring sims in Second Life Tags: , , , , , ,

When I published my simploring report about Dream Bay on November 22nd (read Simploring 2019 (117) Autumn @ Dream Bay), it was  just the day Aylia (aylaj) began with modifying the 2 Islands for the Winter season. I decided to revisit Dream Bay on Friday, November 29th. Dream Bay is moderate homestead owned by Morgan Firehawk (mmorganwhitfield). It is the home of the Care and Hope Center, the mainstore of a brand for shoes “Heels” and it is the private home of Morgan, she calls it Huckleberry Island.

Dream Bay Winter 2019 – overview

The sim was landscaped and design by Ayla (aylaj). Now it is a lovely Winter Installation and it was again a lot of fun to visit and enjoy!

Dream Bay in Winter 2019

The landing point is still right next to a zip line. I used the zip line to get the the smaller of the two islands. The Halloween decoration is gone and replaced with a lovely gazebo. At the shore I found a nice place to sit and enjoy – an open gondola from a ski lift.

The whole sim is now covered with snow, there’s a nice place for ice scating surrounded by decorated and illuminated trees between the two Islands now. Watch the funny penguin ice skating there. Close by is an outdoor café and restaurant.

Impressions of Dream Bay Winter 2019 (1) – The smaller island

At several points you find now the possibility for snow ball fights. And some seasonal decoration is added too of course. I also found more places to sit and cuddle and to enjoy the beautiful landscape and the peaceful atmosphere. The Aurora borealis offers great backgrounds for taking pictures. I enjoyed this part in particular.

Impressions of Dream Bay Winter 2019 (2) – The ice skating

Morgan is a supporter of an initiative against domestic violence. Since 2014, the Care and Hope Center is a not-for-profit information hub to educate and instill awareness on the horrors of domestic violence. Free and confidential class discussion groups are offered every other month. Please stop by the Center to see when our next class session will begin.  Safe, free, friendly and always open to the public. A lot of information including a hotline for getting advice and help can be obtained in the center.

Impressions of Dream Bay Winter 2019 (3)

Morgan is a professional model in Second Life and she is the owner of Heels, a small and humble shoe store. The mainstore of Heels is located at Dream Bay, right next to the Care and Hope Center. All proceeds go towards the maintenance and operation of the Care and Hope Center of SL. Everything Morgan does in Second Life, whether modeling and/or Heels, is for the sole purpose of bringing attention to the Care and Hope Center and Domestic Violence Awareness.

Dream Bay offers a lot for those who enjoy taking pictures or those who just want to escape from their RL for a while and enjoy the peace. It is designed professionally but with a lot of love for the detail as well.

Impressions of Dream Bay Winter 2019 (4) – The covered bridge and several places to sit and cuddle

Thank you Morgan for providing your sim to the public and for your engagement against domestic violence. It is an important matter and I truely appreciate your work! I hope that the Care and Hope Center gets the attention it deserves. And many thanks to Ayla (aylaj), you did once again a great job landscaping and designing Dream Bay and created a sim that fits to its name.
I did enjoy my 2nd visit again!

Simploring 2019 (126) Lairig Leacach

15 Dec 2019 1 Comment

by diomitamaurer in Exploring sims in Second Life Tags: , , , ,

Today I came across “Lairig Leach” on scoop.it SL Destinations. Lairig Leach is the newest installation of Serene Footman, it is his quite unusal holiday gift to the residents of Second Life.

As always Serene has selected an unknown, remote and particular spot in Real Life and brought it to Second Life. Larig Leach is “a tiny bothy in a spectacular situation at the foot of Stob Ban in the Central Scottish Highlands. A bothy – also called a byre, or cowshed – is a refuge, a place to rest tired feet or sleep, sheltered from the wind, rain and snow.“

Lairig Leacach

In Serene’s own blog you’ll find a detail description about this particular bothy (Lairig Leach) as well as about the Scottish Highlands and the Mountain Bothies Association. There’re also some pictures of Lairig Leach in RL as well as other links with more information.

Impressions of Lairig Leacach (1)

Around the bothy Lairig Leach are mountains, a river, animals, rocks, a frozen pond, trees, trails, snow and more snow. The windlight setting is selected to make us freeze. The landing point is a frozen pond and you have to walk a bit to reach Lairig Leach which is quite in the center of the sim. The bothy itself contains nothing more than a loft bed, broken shelves and two chairs. Nonetheless it is the only place that offers shelter from wind and snow. For someone who hiked a few hours through the loneliness of the Scottish Highlands in Winter, such a bothy can be the paradise, a life saving shelter. And this interpretation could make Serene’s Lairig Leacach a Christmas installation.

Impressions of Lairig Leacach (2)

Not surprisingly Lairig Leacach is outstanding in its simplicity – nature, snow and just a few places to sit. The sim background is perfectly fitting to the sim so that you can’t differentiate between the sim and the background. It is a pardise for photographers.

Impressions of Lairig Leacach (3)

Be aware that Lairig Leacach is a temporary installation and might be gone by the end of the year.
Thank you for your holiday gift, Serene. I enjoyed my visit, Happy Holidays!
