feast

Somehow my images of the sim feast have made the place look far darker and more brooding than they should, because the place is awash in bright colors. (I guess it was just my mood, ruminating on flickr's new interface.) With the slurl here you'll land in a large field of flowers—poppies, cosmos, dianthus and others—surrounded by magnolia, ginko, apple and other varieties of trees. These are all items for sale in the nearby shop of Miki Morigi and her alt Mikatsuki Matova, forest feast.

To the south is the sim Aught, and on the border between these sims is an overgrown area (top and bottom photos here, click to zoom) co-created by Miki and Alirianna, who has a branch of her shop, alirium, here as well. They remark, "People should accept the invasion of green. Because it is a correct recovery." And so it is: we see nature gently destroying what had once been the human footprint. The region as a whole is very graphics intensive, and getting everything to rez cooperatively can be a challenge. My friend Padani, who was also in the sim exploring, quipped, "It's not a place for people in a hurry." He's right, but we agreed it well worth the visit.

  3. Well, your wish has been granted! I've enlarged the photos on the blog by a good measure, and I'll go back over time and will enlarge them all. It does look better.
