The base for this month’s Enjoying Bondage series is a picture of slave Gwendi and Luci Glendale, that I took on October 5th. I had exposed the two on our slut platform near the Stonehaven patio. slave Flo had the assignment to tease them and to make them beg for having an orgasm. She did very well and all three entertained me very well. On the left I added Kitty and slave Christin, on the right slave slut cecy, Angelique myself and Mistress Jenny.
Hence you find in this picture the actual core family Mistress Jenny, Diomita, Angelique and our slubs and slaves Kitty, Christin, Flo, Gwendi and cecy along with Luci who spent some time with us.

Friday, October 18th, I met Jenny shortly in the late morning before she left for some family obligations to attend Friday and Saturday. We caught up with our mutual news, talked and before she logged off I had her kissing my boots and hugging my legs. This way she would get this picture upon her return Saturday night. For me it was a great start into this Friday.

October 18th: Diomita with her property Jenny at home in the annex of our skybox

In the afternoon I revisited Furillen, which had been brought back into Second Life (read Simploring 2019 (105) Furillen). I really enjoyed my short simploring tour.

And Friday night was our regular Friday night party. Virgo set the theme most probably in accordance with Starry “Hey, it’s friday and then we just need to party. Some zombies made an early apearance, so why don’t you join then, or come to hunt them.”

We werent that many that Friday. In the beginning it was just Starry, Della, Virgo, slave Flo and me. And while I was unpacking a box with costumes to change for the theme … I deleted the dance floor by accident. And as I tried to reinstall it, it got lost. I had a safety copy of the dance floor with all the equipment, yet it took some while to get it aligned properly. So my Firday night party didn’t start really well – but then I had fun. We chatted quite a lot in main, we listened to good muic and I had a glass of wine in RL. In short: another great start into the weekend.

October 18th Friday night party: slave Flo, Diomita, Della Randt, Starbright Wingtips, Alaun (ams684), Virgo, Diable (Orson Neutron), Claire (maddh4tt3r), papafox57

Saturday, October 19th, I met slave Gwendi in the afternoon and I took her to the house. I had her clean my boots and then allowed her to lick me to a nice orgasm. I relaxed in a lounger afterwards when slave Flo joined us. I took slave Gwendi and slave Flo to Mesmerize Dungeon for half an hour before I had to leave to tend to my RL. My attempts to liven up main chat failed – but I had fun trying it *winks*

At night Jenny was back from her RL trip. We first caught up with our news, then we had two rounds of greedy with slave Gwendi, slave Christin and slave Flo. No side bet this time, just a bit of teasing *winks*. After the game we went to Ropers playground to expose the slaves. Unfortunately there werent many people and hence the slaves got not much feedback. Jenny and I had fun nonetheless.

I was still enjoying a green light and after we returned home I retreated with Jenny to the annex of our skybox and had my way with her. She’s such a willing Eheslut …. sometimes ..

I was offline for almost 3 days and upon my return we had a full house. When I came inworld Wednesday night, October 16th, Mistress Jenny, Angelique, slave Flo, slave Gwendi, slave Christin and Luci were present or just came inworld as well. Just saying hello in an appropriate way took some time – what a nice welcome!

October 16th: Mistress Jenny, Diomita and Angelique at home with slave Flo, slave Gwendi, slave Christin and Luci

Angelique had other activities in Second Life and left us. Mistress and I went to our Stonehaven patio with the slave and caught up with our mutual news. Mistress had been absent Monday, as also the slaves had used the opportunity of our absence for a little time-out or less time inworld.
I was tired from RL and proposed having a greedy before visiting a club but I wanted a side bet with it. And Mistress proposed a side bet that surprised even me: If one of the slaves wins they’ll get the last 3 days of October the freedom to select their clothes and may wear a wig of their choice. They will get some more freedom for these days so that they’ll be able to fully enjoy it. If Mistress and I win the greedy, the slaves will have to wear a scold’s bridle the last 3 days of October. Quite a high stake – and the slaves were very motivated to win.
It turned out to be a quite onesided game. slave Flo won it! I just wonder if it was because she had exercised with Angelique during my absence. Anyway Mistress and I were curious what the slave will come up with during their “free” days.

October 17th: Mistress Jenny, Diomita and Angelique at home with slave Flo, slave Gwendi, slave Christin and Luci at home and at Mesmerize Dungeon

After the game we went to Mesmerize Dungeon for half an hour and of course the outcome of the game gave reason for more chatting.

When slave Flo had to leave, Mistress and I retreated to our skybox. Mistress had granted a short green light to me and I took advantage of it by tieing her up and getting my fix. I always enjoy being in charge!

Thursday, Ocotber 17th, I met with my property Jenny in the afternoon. I had plans for her and we first got her some Real Restraint straps. I made her wear a pink body, inserted a remote operated battery egg into her pussy, and fixed her arms and legs with pink pvc straps. Finally I fitted the vixen collar in pink around her neck. Then I took her to club Domme a Domme. The steady humming of the egg and seeing her at my feet did attracted the attention at least of one of those we knew there, Gina Lytham.

October 17th: Diomita and Jenny at club DeLust meeting Gina Lytham who had another random sub at her leash

I enjoyed having Jenny at my feet and she looked absolutely gorgeous in her helplessness fighting not to cum in public. I stopped the egg every time she got to close to an orgasm. We stayed about half an hour. Then I took her back home into the annex of our skybox and fixed her over the bondage rack. I had just to touch her clit with my tongue to get what I needed – her juices, my fix.

We had fun with the slaves at night. Once Jenny was with the slaves at night, she was back in her domme role. It’s amazing how fast she can switch. We had a game of skipee with Angelique, slave Gwendi and slave Christin. When I had quite a series of good cards,
Jenny teased the slaves and told them they would loose there 3 days of freedom, if I’d win the game. From that very moment the game took a different direction and the slaves began to team up against me and really were trying hard to prevent me from winning. slave Flo came inworld and watched and coached the slaves. Long story short, Angelique won. And Jenny granted the slaves a forth day as their big sister had won the skipee.

October 17th: Diomita, Jenny and Angelique at home with slave Gwendi and slave Christin / Diomita and Jenny at Psi’s realm with the slaves

I guess the “days of freedom” will provide more fun to Jenny and me the next days. We went to Psi’s realm for a bit until slave Flo had to leave, then spent 10 minutes at Mesmerize Dungeon. Jenny tried to liven up the club but obviously all who were present were either just bots, parked avatars or just idling. Jenny was almost upset that none reacted and she ranted for 10 minutes after we had left and had returned home.

Good, that I am in control and kneeling for me before we went off did calm my property.

Simploring 2019 (107) Deadman’s Island 2019

“Deadman’s Island is a haunted gruesome island where the tortured souls come to rest. Are you looking to visit somewhere dark, ominous and creepy? Deadman’s Island will leave you feeling like someone is right behind you, watching and waiting …” is the landmark’s description of Deadman’s Island.

October 11th: Deadman’s Island – overview

Once again I found the landmark at scoop.it SL Destinations when i was looking for a destination for my simploring tour on Friday, October 11th. Right upon landing, the sim looked gruesome – but familiar. And yes, I had been here before in October 2017 (read Simploring 2017 (81) Deadman’s Island). The layout hasn’t changed but it was rebuilt in another (full) sim.

Impressions of Deadman’s Island 2019 (1)

Deadman’s Island is owned by Alex Luciano (alexandrasadie), but I also found some objects owned by Jaxx Luciano (jaxxson37). Both are not partnered but the names make me suspect that they are a couple. The word dark fits very well for Deadman’s island. I changed my windlight settings to get my pictures a bit lighter. Beside some shabby wooden buildings the island is covered with forest. You will find a lot of dead bodies and creatures that seems to be a strange mixture of a dog and a dinosaur on your discovery tour.

Impressions of Deadman’s Island 2019 (2)

Wherever you go on Deadman’s Island – blood, deads, scary creatures, rats, spiders, ghosts … and every once in a while you encounter a person fully covered by a cowl holding a mining light. I went to chapel and inside, I saw the cemetery. I visited the ghost ship. I went into all buildings, one seems to by an old asylum. Every room in every building has another scary sceenery. Everywhere is blood. It’s for sure nohting for the faint hearted. In one room swords darted up from the floor as I walked along and blood (my blood) was sprinkled around. Thank god, it was just pixel blood!

Impressions of Deadman’s Island 2019 (3)

I had also fun standing next to the band of skeletons, watching the witch brewing her particular soups and playing the organ in the chapel.

Impressions of Deadman’s Island 2019 (4)

The ghostship is something particular as the ship is really tranperent like a ghost and it looks different from every angle. For your exploring tour I recommend to enter all buildings if you like scary scenes. And if you can, then turn you sound on, it adds a lot to the scary and dark mood. Also don’t miss to climb up the lighthouse, as you have a great view on the ghostship from up there.

Impressions of Deadman’s Island 2019 (5)

Deadman’s Island is a seasonal sim. It is for sure worth a visit, particularly during Halloween season. I enjoyed my visit again! Thank you for providing your island to us all, Alex.

Backflash October 2019 – One year wedding anniversary (October 23rd, 2009)

24 Oct 2019 2 Comments

by diomitamaurer in anniversary blog entries, 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 the new 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.

As today marks Jenny’s and my 11th wedding anniversary I scrolled back deep and selected the entry which I wrote on the occasion of our 1st wedding anniversary for this month’s backflash – 10 years ago. It also was the 10th post published in this blog which contains more than 1,750 posts as of today.
I must have had a presentiment of what lay ahead for me and for us as I wrote about my then Ehesklavin Jenny’s increasing dominant side and about her evil plans for green lights, for when she got in control over me those days. And nowadays I am her Ehesklavin and I am happy when I get permission to control her for a limited time. I have fully submitted to my beloved wife Mistress Jenny.
Thank you so much for the many years we share our free time together in Second Life, for your love and control and for everything you have done and do for me and for us, Mistress Jenny!

One year wedding anniversary

Really one year? Time flies particulary when you’re having a good time. One year ago was our day. We married at Rivers Rock. Goddess held the speech and said our vows. After the wedding we had a one week honeymoon. The family had build a skybox for us and furnished it. Most of it was done by Fae. Thank you Fae. We had a great week. It was such a good time that we decided to keep the skybox. We bought the furniture, we added a detail here and a detail there. We added a dance floor on the roof of it. And we gave it a name “Chez Maurer”. CM is still our place when we retreat and it is located in the skies above our plot at Rivers Rock.

One year with Jenny, my Ehesklavin, my partner, my wife, my fucktoy, my slut. Can you imagine such an all-in-one person? I can because she’s mine.
Jenny – she’s a quiet and patient sub, she’s obedient, she’s following my rules, she accepted to be controlled and I do control her.
Jenny – she’s demanding, she’s mean, she’s makes evil plans, she’s adventurous.
Jenny – she’s my partner, my wife, my friend, the one at my side.
Jenny – she’s my slut, my fucktoy, my horny slave.

We have experienced a lot together, we developed together and we’re still desiring eachother. From being just my slave Jenny began to become more and more confident. Self-confident and knowing that I would do everything for her, she defined her place within our relation. She developed her domme side also. She will always be MY property, my collared Ehesklavin but …. I have also sub needs and Jenny knows about them and she plays with them and during what we call a “green light” she takes over. And sometimes she devolpes evil plans how to treat me. It’s all about trust. I can relax, can let things happen as she planed them. I know in advance about her deep love and devotion and that she won’t hurt me. It adds another dimension of bdsm playing for me.
For our one year anniversary we decided to spoil ourselves and made some pictures of us. We’re happy about them. We love memories like this.

I look forward to every night that I can spent with you, my Ehesklavin.
I look forward to our second year as a couple in SL, my love.
I look forward to all the adventures we will expierence togehter.
Thank you for this year, Mrs. Jenny Maurer. I love you.

Diary 2019 (161) Oct 13th – Oct 16th – Bound maids is back

23 Oct 2019 1 Comment

Sunday, Ocotober 13th, I roamed and idled during the day until Mistress came inworld later afternoon. I had some funny private chats and also fun just looking around on what was going on. In the afternoon I first met Angelique. She had given a landmark to me while I was offline and I found her there – the new bound maid castle!
Angelique gave me an extended tour and her dusting times are still registered from the times the then bound maids manor stood at The Apostasy (read: Diary 2019 (135) September 6th – The Apostasy is gone). Boundy (boundmaids) has re-erected it at Palm Beach Paradise, that is also home to the Velvets Dream Mainstore. The store is at the 1.500m level, while Boundy’s maid castle is at the ground level. I bet I will find Angelique dusting there again from time to time.

October 13th: Diomita and Angelique at Boundy’s maid castle

Mistress and I went to club Domme a Domme for catching up with our mutual news. The club was full and Mistress had me kneeling at her feet. I admit that I missed that and I enjoyed the time we spent at the club. We caught up and talked also about sensual domination. I remembered that Mistress once talked with me about a profile text about it and that I did not see it fitting to us. In the meanwhile I recognize that it does fit very well to how Mistress and I are at least right now. Sensual Domination tends to be much less about physical restraint and more about mental captivation. It might lead to a much deeper level of D/s than otherwise possible – and Mistress did achieve just this for me.

October 13th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at club Domme a Domme

At night Angelique and Luci were inworld and at home when I came online. Angelique asked me if I knew “Askaria: Realm of the Witches“. It had been a long while that I was there and Angelique told me that she was asked to kneel for one ot the witches when she visited. Knowing Angelique, I knew immediately what she did at this request – she left. I thought it would be a nice variation to go there once again and Angelique, wanting to prevent getting any kneeling requests again, offered me to hold her leash. For some reason the leash did connect not with my leash holder, which held Luci’s leash, but with my collar … so it looked like Angelique had me on a leash.

October 13th: Diomita and Angelique visiting “Askaria: Realm of the Witches” with Luci

Anyway we had fun visiting Askaria although it was almost empty.

We went to Mesmerize Dungeon afterwards and slave Christin and slave Gwendi joined us there. The leash had disconnected but I established it again, so now Angelique really held my leash. It was fun for the two uf us.
We had a round of greedy, then Angelique left for bed and I chilled a bit with the slaves at Psi’s realm

I had some RL obligations that prevented me from being inworld Monday, October 14th and most of Tuesday, October 15th. I returned Wednesday night, October 16th.

I went on a simploring tour on Friday, October 11th, in the afternoon. When I returned home slave Gwendi had quite some visitors and I dropped by and chatted a bit with them before I had to return to my RL. I couldn’t refrain from tieing up Becky (igagi), in particular because she did ask so nicely for it.

October 11th at home: Diomita with slave Gwendi, Suzie (suziegirl1999), Becky (igagi), Ann (Transann) and Esheah (Melianel) at Ann’s leash

And Friday night we had our party again. “Bye friday, hello weekend, and that calls for a party too. Put on some leather and come dance with us” was the group message that Virgo sent out for it. Once again we had a great time, we chatted, listened to goo music, relaxed and simply had fun starting into the weekend.

Friday night party October 11th

Saturday, October 12th, I was did some sim hopping in the later morning but nothing happened that is worth to be reported here. In the afternoon I met Angelique at home. I noticed that she was dressed a little bit like myself yet in another colour and with other shoes. We played a round of greedy and then took Luci, who was inworld and had watched us playing, with us to Mesmerize Dungeon.

October 12th: Diomita and Angelique at home and at Mesmerize Dungeon with Luci Glendale

While we were at Mesmerize Dungeon Angelique and I changed and in the end we were dressed alike. We had fun doing that.

At night I first played a round of greedy with Angelique and slave Flo and we had just finished when Mistress came inworld. Mistress took the opportunity and intentionally mixed up Angelique and myself and Angelique and I did the same and swapped roles.
We played skipee as teams and Mistress sat on Angelique’s lap (not on mine). Besides all role swapping, Angelique and I won again the skipee. We moved on to Mesmerize Dungeon and later to Lochme. slave Christin and Luci had joined us in the meanwhile.

October 12th: Mistress Jenny, Diomita and Angelique with slave Flo, slave Christin and Luci at Mesmerize Dungeon and at Lochme

And Angelique and I continued our little play. We had fun and slave Flo was a bit puzzled about Angelique and me and our play. And that’s it about Friday and Saturday… well almost. Back home Mistress and I had some time of togetherness and she allowed me licking her – and I got my fix. Thank you, Mistress.

Simploring 2019 (106) Autumn @ Skull Creek

21 Oct 2019 1 Comment

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

For my simploring tour on Thursday, October 3rd, I picked Skull Creek, or more precisely Autumn @ Skull Creek, from scoop.it SL Destinations and I read Maddy Gynoid’s report about it on his blog “Echt Virtuell” – Simtipp: Autumn @Skull Creek (the post is written in German). Maddy’s pictures and his report were tempting to visit myself.

Autumn @ Skull Creek – overview and around the landing point

Skull Creek is a moderate full sim owned by Racey Boom (Raceyy Resident). Right next where you land is the headquarter of a group called Ghost Bullys 1% MC. The Ghost Bully 1% MC is a SecondLife motorcycle club that dedicates themselves to rescuing abused and abandoned animals. Racey Boom is heading the group. In the skies of Skull Creek is a huge race track. A part of Skull Creek is private. According to Maddy’s blogpost, the sim is changing with the season and I can confirm that its Autumn appearance is simply great.

Impressions of Autumn @ Skull Creek – trailer park, Roady’s and the dancing chosts

As mentioned above the landing is in front of a huge barn, that seems to be the headquarter of the Motorclub and also provides space for indoor events. Right next to it is a large outdoor event area. Already at the landing point you can almost smell the Autumn. The sim is literally glowing in red, green and yellow. The ground is coverd with leaves and while I was exploring I could see more leaves falling.

Autumn @ Skull Creek – the haunted house and the graveyard

A road is leading around the sim and besides the beach everything can be explored following the road. Skull Creek is also a bit weired, in a positive way. You will find some oddities. I came along trailer park, an ufo, an haunted house with a graveyard (it’s the season for that!) and a motel. I visited the beach and I rezzed a horse, right next to the motel and continued simploring riding a horse.

Autumn @ Skull Creek – the Ufo and the cows, the bear hut, the motel and the horse rezz

There are for sure more oddities, that I might have missed, but make sure to see the Ufo hoovering over a group of cows. I also think the 3 huge dogs next to the headqurter look a bit odd due to their size but considering that the group is engaged in rescueing animals they have another meaning. Or I think of the dancing couple of Ghosts. These elements add a funny and personal touch to Skull Creek.

Autumn @ Skull Creek – the 3 dogs, the beach and other impressions

I really enjoyed the Autumn at Skull Creek. Racey succeeded to make it almost perfect. For me it felt like a short visit to the Northeast of America during the foliage. And riding in this environment was simply fun. I enjoyed my visit a lot and took many pictures.

Thank you Racey for creating and sharing this spectacle of colours with the public.

Diary 2019 (159) October 9th/10th Growing hair

I was inworld quite early in the afternoon on Wednesday, October 9th, as I had noticed that Mistress was inworld as well. We caught up with our mutual news while Mistress was sitting in her throne with me by her feet. Then Mistress was interrupted from RL for a longer time and I had the opportunity to take some pictures, in particular portraits, of Mistress Jenny.

October 9th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at home

When Mistress returned we took slave Flo with us to Heavy Bondage Club and spent an hour there talking with eachother, perving profiles and getting a few IM. Back home Mistress allowed me to feed my addiction by licking her. That was an almost perfect start into that day in Second Life for me.

October 9th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita with slave Flo at Heavy Bondage club / Diomita serving Mistress at home

Our night began quite relaxed but became busy. We went to Mesmerize Dungeon with slave Gwendi first where slave Flo and Angelique joined us soon after.

October 9th: Mistress Jenny, Diomita and Angelique with slave Flo and slave Gwendi at Mesmerize Dungeon

We went home when slave Christin came inworld. She had been on vacation for 10 days. We intended to put slave Christin also into a Venus corset and took the slaves to our Stonehaven patio. I leashed slave Gwendi and slave Flo at the wall, Angelique made herself comfy on the swing. Mistress and I sat down and I began to first peel slave Chirstin out of her hood, corset and chastity belt before I began to put her into the venus corset and another chastity belt. Ann (Transann) came by and also watched our activities. She created an hairstyle for our slaves, something that I didn’t find on the market – a buzz haircut with the word “slave”  shaved out. As the slaves wear different mesh heads we will have to find out another day how to apply this style to them.

October 9th at our Stonehaven patio: Mistress Jenny, Diomita and Angelique with slave Flo, slave Gwendi, slave Christin and Ann

It took a while to set up slave Christin and Mistress could relax watching me doing it. We chatted and teased the slaves and the time flew by quickly. When I was done with slave Christin it was already time to go to bed.

Thursday, October 10th, Mistress and I spent a quiet afternoon together at Heavy Bondage Club just chatting about further plans with the slaves, about profiles, about us and we enjoyed being together. Mistress did crown this afternoon by allowing me again to taste her honey…mmmwah.

Ocotber 10th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at home with Luci, slave Flo, slave Christin and slave gwendi

At night we had a full house. When we arrived slave Gwendi, slave Christin and Luci were present and slave Flo joined us soon after. We took the slaves to our Fetisch CLub Chez Maurer and while slave Flo and Luci were riding the dildo cushions slave Gwendi cleaned my boots and later was allowed rubbing herself at me left boots. Mistress had some time with slave Christin and she selected an hairstyle for her. So now both, slave Gwendi’s and slave Christin’s hair is slowly growing again. After Luci, slave Flo and slave Gwendi had their orgasms, I locked the chastity belts again and we went to Mesmerize Dungeon to chil a bit before it was time for bed.

Simploring 2019 (105) Furillen

19 Oct 2019 1 Comment

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

The name “Furillen” might sound familiar for many people in Second Life who like to explore this virtual world. Furillen.org is the website of Serene Footman where you find information about Serene’s outstanding places in Second Life. All of there creations have a strong connection with places in the physical world, places that not many people know or can get to easily. And these places always have something mysterious and a particular atmosphere.

Serene’s first creation was Furillen (at least as far as I know) and I visited it back in 2016, Of course I wrote a blogpost about it and I will add it below. And now Furillen is back! This gives those who missed seeing it the opportunity to discover and explore it. And for others it is very enjoyable to see it again.

Furillen October 2019: landing loint (upper left) / in the office (lower left) / in the hotel (upper right) / in the factory (lower right)

I’m not sure if the whole sim is exactly the same as in 2016. For example I can’t remember the dining table on the roof terrace of the old plant site. But perhaps I missed it during my visit in 2016. I recognized a lot though.

Impressions of Furillen October 2019 – upper right shows the dining place on the roof terrace of the factory

 

I recommend to read Serene’s text about Furillen at his website Furillen.org before visiting. Knowing the background about Furillen makes the visit even more interesting.

Here’s my blogpost from 2016…

Furillen in Second Life

Saturday, November 5th, I looked up the SL destination guide and came across Furillen. Somehow the name rang a bell, but more about this later. The description read very tempting for me “Furillen depicts an island off the north-east coast of Sweden containing abandoned industrial builds that were once part of a former limestone factory. Remote, bleak and beautiful, this is a Second Life photographers haven.”
Once I arrived at Furillen and saw the cold, snowy, dismal island with the ruins of a former insudstry, I began to do some research about Furillen.

Furillen (older spelling Furilden) is an island in Rute on the northeast coast of Gotland, Sweden. For most of the 20th century, there was a limestone industry on the island until it was closed to the public by the Swedish military in the 1970s–90s, when radar installations became operational. The north part of Furillen is a nature reserve and a Natura 2000 area. Since 2000, the old factory buildings from the limestone industry have been used as hotel and conference venues by the Fabriken Furillen (the Furillen Factory) company, owned by photographer and entrepreneur Jonas Hellström. He started out using the abandoned factory and its surroundings as a backdrop for commercials and rock videos. (source Wikipedia)

November 5th – Furillen in Second Life: Arrving at Furillen

There’s a website about this sim furillen.org and I recommend visiting it first. The following information is en excerpt taken from furillen.org. The sim is owned and was created by Serene Footman in Ocotber 2015. Serene is an university professor in the UK in RL and the author of several books. “I originally ventured into Second Life as a researcher. I have always found creative sims to be the most compelling aspect of Second Life. By creating Furillen, I wanted to provide an environment in which photographers and Second Life wanderers would feel welcomed and inspired.”
The virtual Furillen was designed to retain some of the most distinct and recognisable features of the real Furillen: the airstream, the tree line and pier, for example, together with the large slag heaps that still exist as a reminder of the old quarry. In addition, there are several buildings, the main being a hotel that – on the virtual Furillen – doubles up as an art space with a series of rooms featuring minimalist installations.


Furillen became quite a social space. It is, especially, a place for photographers. Serene has also staged events over the past year, most memorably those devoted to Bowie, Radiohead and Pink Floyd – and it is the Pink Floyd event that rang a bell for me. I’ve visited Furillen before together with Mistress Jenny during this event, not konowing about the background of Furillen. You can read in this blog about the Pink Floyd event in the article “Pink“.
It is amazing how perfectly Serene succeeded in making the virtual Furillen looking similar to the real island as you can see when you compare the pictures from wikipedia with the pictures taken in Second Life – chapeau! One of the old buildings is used for exhibitions and right now there’s an exhibition called “Birds” with photographs from Laura.


I roamed over the island and climbed on the structures and was impressed how intense you feel to be in a real abandoned industry ruin. The highlight of my visit was the hotel which is placed just behind the tree line. The tree line looks really misplaced on this island in this dismal environment but is also just reflecting the real Furillen. In the hotel each room is a different piece of art, mostly surreal and a heaven for photograhers.

I know I am by far not the first writing about Furillen. There’s a long list of articles on furillen.org. Nonetheless I wanted to keep something for this diary and to inspire others to have a look at Furillen. Thank you so much Serene for providing this sim to the public!
