2007 was a year of wanting to make positive changes - I started an environmental awareness blog “Climate of Our Future.”

Having researched the Pacific gyre and seeing all the plastics accumulating on our ocean floor was devastating to me; to learn at that time it was twice the size of Texas.

In my research, I discovered a Marine Biologist who has an incredible love for our oceans. Dr. Wallace J. Nichols, Ph.D. “J”. J was a frequent contributor to Climate of Our Future and allowed the use of any resources he had. He still does, thank you J. His philosophy The Blue Mind Rx: Our Waters Can Be Lifelong Medicine for All People. This is an important message that I wanted to share virtually.

I have added the @JoeBuilder "Barrier Reef" to my virtual installation of Blue Mind, thank you Joe. J's water philosophy is here. I keep J close in positive thoughts, two years ago his home was destroyed by fire. You can read about it here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/dear-wild-child-43292320

Thank you J for your contribution to our planet. virtual-hg.com:8002/LivBlue/128/128/1

The Hobbiton Collection will be the first destination the Hypergrid Safari visits this Wednesday at 12 PM SL Time. This includes Hobbiton, Beorns-House, Bree and Buckland, Edoras-Rohan, Myrkwood, and Rivendell to mark the October 19th anniversary of the publication of the final part of the trilogy, The Return of the King, 20 October 1955.

Nyx Breen has installed two exhibits at Mind Odyssey. In and Out of View and Polaroids. My first impression of Nyx's art is always wow, I am often left speechless as my brain renders the colors and movement of these exhibits. I have to be careful of flashing lights but with Nyx art, the movement is subtle and flowing, a gentle movement to me that is soothing. Please consider visiting and feel the experience of Nyx art, take some time when you do to really appreciate it.

Thank you Nyx!

Exclusive: yes---> This build is exclusive for Outworldz DreamGrid owners


Part of the Hobbiton Collection by Darkness Papp


Beorn lived in a wooden house on his pasturelands between the Misty Mountains and Mirkwood, to the east of the Anduin. His household included an animal retinue (horses, dogs, sheep, and cows, among others, according to Gandalf, Beorn did not eat his cattle, nor hunt wild animals. He also grew large areas of clover for his bees.
Character Created By: J. R. R. Tolkien

When you rez this build, make sure your music is off, you will want to hear the sounds here. I hear, a billy goat, a wolf, and birds. A serene countryside estate with lush landscaping.
This lovely country cottage has beehives, horses grazing, and bales of hay to feed them. Entering the cottage, from the garden area, you will see Great Danes to guard you, and a cow eating hay. You will find this .oar file in the Outworldz DreamGrid free .oars

Blue Moon was established on February 1, 2012, in Virtual Highway grid. When VH closed we purchased our .oar file and named it Iknimaya which is a treacherous but fundamental rite of passage in which a young Na'vi hunter must select, capture, and successfully bond with one of the ikran.

You will find Iknimaya at Con.tin.u.um grid continuum.outworldz.net:8002:iknimaya

Avatar's Water World will soon be released https://youtu.be/a8Gx8wiNbs8 come feel the spirit of the Na'vi.

Thank you to all the creators who made this possible, especially to Kayaker Magic for all the cool Pandoran animals like the Yerik and Ikran.

But now another topic. Do you like art?
Then come and visit my gallery '.inspired by René Magritte' in the OSgrid in the region 'The Art Factory'.
There are also other artists represented. There is a lot to see!
This is a 360° snapshot from the 2nd floor with my newer pictures.

The Lioness Den is a Savanna Safari that I originally created about a year and a half ago on another grid, and because that grid went private, I moved it to another then was invited to genesis roleplay grid. Here you will find that the Savanna has grown and gotten more beautiful and interesting with lots of animals to enjoy and some you can even pet. The settings are nice "watering holes" in the Savanna with beautiful animals and plants, waterfall and mystery places with tiny creatures, one just has to find them. Also be careful walking through the tall grass one never knows what lurks in there. :D

The region hg.osgrid.org:80:Cherry Freebies is totally redone, my own original art freebies are displayed in different rooms : VOID, PLANT, BRUSH, RED, CUBE.
Some accessories I made, EEP, at SOUP.
All Fest'Avi avatars at FESTAVI.

Just select a room from the teleporter. Please remind that for a best experience, enable EEP and advanced lighting model.
There's no stream but scripted sounds (not everywhere yet) all from Morlitam.

Lands End .oar by @DarknessPapp. This 2x2 .oar is delightful. When you arrive, you will hear Saxophone playing by Mr. Sax. This magnificent sea port has great township builds with all the props for roleplaying a Pirate adventure.
The sounds here are nice of seagulls, sax, and water really lends to the theme here, you will love this sim! Free for DreamGrid owners. It is in the Outworldz free .oar dropdown list.

Starbase - Asgard Dawn's Starfleet Headquarters has so much to offer for those truly into Star Trek and role play. We have worked tirelessly to make very nearly everything functional though, no, you can't fly the enterprise around as it's much too big, but we do have shuttles that can be flown, transporters, turbo lifts and even a working screen in the bridge. We will continue to make it better! We also have a functioning monorail to take you to the different buildings and offices. Our medical academy and sick bay both have working "surgical" hoods. Come visit and take a look around. Missing a visit would be quite illogical. grid.our-dawn.com:8002: Starbase
