Part of the site: High Coast / Kvarken Archipelago
Description: "The Kvarken Archipelago (Finland) and the High Coast (Sweden) are situated in the Gulf of Bothnia, a northern extension of the Baltic Sea. The 5,600 islands of the Kvarken Archipelago feature unusual ridged washboard moraines, ‘De Geer moraines’, formed by the melting of the continental ice sheet, 10,000 to 24,000 years ago. The Archipelago is continuously rising from the sea in a process of rapid glacio-isostatic uplift, whereby the land, previously weighed down under the weight of a glacier, lifts at rates that are among the highest in the world. As a consequence islands appear and unite, peninsulas expand, and lakes evolve from bays and develop into marshes and peat fens. The High Coast has also been largely shaped by the combined processes of glaciation, glacial retreat and the emergence of new land from the sea. Since the last retreat of the ice from the High Coast 9,600 years ago, the uplift has been in the order of 285 m which is the highest known ''rebound''. The site affords outstanding opportunities for the understanding of the important processes that formed the glaciated and land uplift areas of the Earth''s surface."

From Lake Macbride State Park.
I went on a road trip to Palisades-Kepler state park in Cedar Rapids. I just wanted to do 1 last road trip before it got to cold. I'll defiantely be going back in the spring. I also went to Lake Macbride state park.
As seen from the Viberö ferry from Stockholm to Ornö (3 hours one way). This is the beginning - where you get on the boat headed for Ornö.
Even though the sim is brand new, apparently defense is still very much needed. So wolfie immediately sets to work, building a cannon platform at Syncretia Annex. This, as can readily be seen, is exhausting work which does take it's toll in the end... Meanwhile I perch myself on the platform he has just rezzed and admire the archipelago from a never before seen vantage point and of course the Mescaline Tammas presets...
