Long beach is perhaps the longest beach in opensim. More than 2 km long. (For draw distance reason at 1024 I can't take full picture.) Be careful with traffic at the promenade street. Lot of walkers and skaters. So don't stand around on pavement and look in the air lol This part of Big City Life is not leaned on NYC. More inspiration comes from Tel Aviv. But is a fantasy VR city anyway. lol

If you found the way in the big city in the quarter old town red light district then you should explore the houses. It is not just some lego boxes with textures. I tried to make all realistic and sometimes people walk or even talk to you. Then nightlife in the heart of the city can be fun. Chinese quarter is close to it. But lights for the midnight environment are still not like in cyberpunk 2077 lol Is a bit more difficult to get the ambient for midnight environment.
How you come from City Railway Mainstation in Big City itself (not landing point railwaystation) to the old town quarter.

Biographie ieko

Après une carrière de graphiste et responsable de l'atelier de dessin d'une imprimerie publicitaire, ieko se consacre à sa passion : la peinture à l'huile.

Elle peint depuis 30 années.
Les premières oeuvres furent figuratives.

Admiratrice de Zao-Wou-Ki, Pierre Soulages, Antoni Tàpies, Hans Hartung ,elle se dirige ensuite vers l'abstraction lyrique.

Recherche incessante d'un équilibre entre lumière et matière,
sa peinture est aujourd'hui le reflet poétique et profond de ses émotions.
