Valentine's Day

 

Taken at Calas Galadhon Park

 

 It's Valentines Day (or happy stick it to singles day depending on your point of view), the day in which couples give one another small tokens of their affection, or find other ways to demonstrate it to one another. The Shop and Hop is open for those looking to get a present for someone. Or you can take your virtual honey to a romantic spot to cuddle, or perhaps a themed event to dance to. And there's also the "Hug A Linden/Dunk A Linden" today at the Isle of View.

Happy V-Day for couples and singles (you can still get lucky, find a nice new friend of the opposite sex, or both).

New Santorini

One group of sims the Newser keeps writing about year after year is Calas Galadhon Park. The sims are always well-designed, and there's something new every few months. Sadly, in the past a few of the sims had to be shut down due to real-life finances. But recently came some good news. One of the lost sims, the Greek-themed New Santorini, is back. Gemma Cleanslate went there to look around.

The Calas Galadhon Haunted Maze

Gemma Cleanslate's travels took her back to a favorite location, Calas Galadhon Park. The owners Ty Tenk and Truck Meredith often have something new and interesting for Halloween. Last year, they had a sci-fi horror exhibit. This year, they have a maze to try and get through. Unfortunately, navigating the passages is just one of the challenges. You also have to fight all sorts of monsters trying to eat you.

Reader Submitted: A Little Treasure, Calas Galadhon Park's Glanduin

One location the Newser goes back to cover time to time is Calas Galadhon Park. Created by Tymus Tenk and Truck Meredith, the park offers several sims of detailed scenery that is not static but regularly changed so it's not the same place for too long. Today's article about the location was made not by one of our staff, but from a reader: Alysabelle. In her reader submission, she describes the latest look of the Glanduin sim, that of a country farmhouse in the countryside.

Winter at Calas Galadhon Park

December is here, and with it the winter season. Already, a number of sims in Second Life which are normally green are turning white as they're coated with a blanket of snow, and the water covered with ice. Gemma Cleanslate takes a look at one favorite scenic place: Calas Galadhon Park. In the past, it's had some fine builds that offered winter fun with both activities and scenery. This season, builders Ty Tenk and Truck Meredith have done it again.

Darkwood

One of Gemma Cleanslate's favorite places to explore is the Calas sims, which change from season to season. For October, there's something a little different this time. There's a Halloweenish display somewhat based on the dark side of Middle Earth in "The Hobbit," “We took a few liberties …  some could say more than a few."

Gemma Cleanslate has reported on a number of Winter and Christmas-themed places in Second Life this week. And as the weekend approaches, she's saved the best for last.
