EXPLORING SECOND LIFE : Location #5 : Straylight

Botanical Landscaping, Garden and Environmental Design Center, Straylight

When I reached here, the environment surrounding is magnificent. People who love nature and landscape would think this is their paradise. The form of trees, waterfalls, colors and lighting produced a very beautiful landscape.





The colors of the trees and the leaves falling, reminded me of autumn, and this scene probably can just be seen in autumn, I don't think we can see this scene in Malaysia.


The trees here do not have leaves, it deemed as dead forest. It would be better if I came here at night, which I did but the comparison is not much different.


We can also seen some trees with snows. The designer attempted to put in the elements four seasons and it made an impact on the quality of the design in this place.



Aurora appeared only at the night scene. This is beautiful, although it was inside a virtual world. Aurora can only be seen in very few places such as Alaska, Canada, Australia and so on. I did really hoped one day I could experience the real aurora dancing in front of my eyes at least once in my entire life.


I have a mixed feeling in this scene, palm and sakura trees appeared in the same area. The designer of this place probably a nature lover who always wanted to create an experience for other users to explore his "fantasy" world.


The designer included lava in this place. This can showed that the designer's desire on nature since volcano is a part of nature.

After exploring the whole island, I felt that this is one of the most beautiful place I had visited in Second Life. The designer's desire on nature created a magnificent place that really impressed me a lot. I would like this place to be on the reality, but of course it won't be happen since this is totally a heaven where will never be existed in real world. I have a lot of different experience after visited this place, and that was the reason I visited this place once again at night after I explored the morning scene.
