Capitol Hill Sim


I am standing in the parliament area in the Capitol Hill sim. Very nicely done. The textures must had been taken from real life photographs. This simulation seems to take on the role of a museum, with text and sign posts distributed all over the place to describe the various areas within Capitol Hill.

Moving out of the building, the exterior is nicely done. With the builder leaving some parts empty to give it a natural look and shine. As you walk along the lush meadows, into the columns of trees, towards the coast,... one can't help but felt a sense of peace and serenity in the sim. The next time you visit the place, leave the pavement and walkways. Take a walk, explore the greeny. There are many easter eggs and historical monuments (I think so... should be historial pieces, anyway I know nothing about american history.) in the fields.

Smoky Estate

With work coming to a slowdown (as usual for this time of the year), I can finally manage to squeeze some time to tend to my virtual properties. After an exhaustive round of search for virtual properties, I found this plot of 1024sqm near the sea selling for L$7000 plus. Quite reasonable price for a plot with a spectacular sea view. The place literally was baked in a hue of OpenGL golden orange colour during sunset. Beautiful. Though the place seems to be quiet at the moment. I don't see much avatar flying around this area.

Nevertheless, I had this strange hunch that this will be the server space where I will place my virtual foot down, plant my own flag, and build my own sim to introduce and spread my culture into this digital virtual work.
