Calas Galadhon Reopens

Tymus Tenk and Truck Meredith have reopened Calas Galadhon, their magnificently picturesque group of eleven sims that had been closed for renovations during the month of August. They had announced that four sims would permanently close during the hiatus, but the losses were fewer: the sims Sea of Nurnen (which included a lovely underwater area) and Bay of Balafas (parts of which have been transplanted to Grey Havens) were the only to leave, as Tymus and Truck have had to address some real life costs. (The expense to maintain eleven sims as a public park, as one might imagine, is extraordinary—please contribute if you can.)

And autumn has arrived: seen here in the top photo is Dimrill Dale, in middle photo Grey Havens, and at the bottom Misty Mountains. I'll begin to blog about the regions I haven't previously covered, but in the meantime here are direct teleport links to all of the sims—each has a distinct ambiance:
