I found the exhaust coming from a ruined car to be odd but it made great ground mist.

Very cool sim.
Tune - Grails - Burden of Hope
It wasn't until editing this image that I noticed there did not appear to be a paddle in the boat which meant I am up a creek without a paddle in an ominously and aptly named boat. I really enjoyed taking pics at this sim. I am sure I will go back.
Music -- Ray LaMontagne - Be Here Now

*Ray LaMontagne's music fit the feel of this sim really beautifully in my opinion.

Lily was baffled. And she was a little annoyed because one of these strange tiny persons kept stomping around on her (empty!) tummy, not to mention the red cord that tied her to the wooden stretcher they had used to carry her to that beach. "Big Sands" it was called, she had picked up from the conversation the guy in yellow had barked into his walkie-talkie. What was she doing here, anyway? When Lily had decided to follow her great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather Lemuel's footsteps and set off to explore the universe she had expected to find her own adventures and not relive his. This wasn't even Lilliput but a strange Central Peuroean shore with a sea that didn't even have a tide. Something with Blatic. Or was it Batlic Sea? She couldn't remember. It was hot, she was hungry, and her shades were out of reach. She had to get out of there. ASAP. So she turned her head to one of the guys who all looked like construction workers and said: "I come in peace. Take me to your leader!"
"Have you ever seen someone so huge, John? I thought giants were myths." "Well, here she is, and she is a giant. A very pretty giant, I should add. So much for that myth", John said. James, wrapped up in thought, finally joined their conversation: "Do you guys think she's one of the Engineers who made us? One of the Preisers?" "Oh, come on, James, you watch too many movies!" Jim said. "Let's continue with our job and tie her up properly so she can't trample our sand castle before we win the sand sculpture competition. I know we'll win this year." "That's what you say every year", James said. At this moment, Lily turned her head and said: ...
This fun theme allowed me to not only use one of my Playmobil astronaut figurines (it's perfectly normal to have Playmobil figurines as a grown-up, isn't it?) I stumbled upon at a toy store while looking for something for an MM theme (I can't remember which) but also to bring back John, Jim, and James (please see my album if you like). Since John, Jim, and James are adventures of sorts, too, something tells me that this story will have a happy ending. After J, J, and J won the sand sculpture competition, of course ;)
The photography part was very straightforward and fast this time. The fiddly part was the setup, especially tying Lily to the wooden cutting board. At first, I tried to use pins to fixate the thread but the wood was too hard (or the pins too long and soft ̵– or both). So I fetched the thumbtacks, and that worked. But the tiny Preiser figures kept falling as it was difficult to place them on the cutting board because modeling clay didn't stick to the wood very well.
Sizewise the frame is almost maxed out. A regular Playmobil figure is exactly 7,5 cm/2.95 inches tall, and I arranged the scene so that not the entire Playmobil figure is visible in the frame. It's a single photo, processed in DXO, LR, PS (my signature), and Analog Efex (the frame).
HMM, Everyone!
P.S. I'm busy today and hope to catch up with you tonight!

I do not know where the leaf and bicycle started out but they ended up together. HFF and happy weekend.
Avaloir -- Very interesting, richly confusing, deep in symbolism and strange art sim. So excellent. I liked that it wasnt over crowded with stuff as sometimes happens, this gave each part its own mini experience. Lots of interactive stuff, though much didn't seem to work for me or just kind of ended without really ending in a way.
Possible title though odd "Meet interesting people and kill them, casually of course."

Says its a Pacific Northwest style beach. I think they did a great job. It reminded me a little of Oceanside, Oregon.

A meno di 18 anni ho lasciato il paese in cui sono cresciuto ...
da allora, le volte che vi faccio ritorno, percorro la Strada Statale 106, che collega Taranto a Reggio Calabria ...
è un viaggio gradevole, col mar Jonio, a sinistra, che mi fa
compagnia ...
subito dopo aver oltrepassato Trebisacce, la strada si arrampica su una ripida collina ...
questo, per me, è il momento più bello del viaggio perchè, una volta giunto sul suo crinale, davanti agli occhi si dispiega un panorama meraviglioso ...
il Golfo e la Piana di Sibari ...
il mare sembra un lago quieto, con i monti della Sila che danno l'impressione di volerlo avvolgere e proteggere.
Da qui, nelle giornate terse, seguendo la linea della costa, riesco a vedere dall'altro lato del golfo i luoghi della mia infanzia ...
il cuore, a questa vista, diventa leggero ...
sul mio viso si apre un sorriso e
sempre,
penso:
"sono tornato".

Le colline a monte di Trebisacce, al tramonto.
This is one of the last shots of our mini road trip.
This was an accidental shot, I'd left the camera on spot meter and I really love the results.
This is just before Charlie got his new bling collar and bow tie.
I sort of like how this turned out even if the focus isn't perfect.
I was never sure he would be a good travelling companion, but he seems to enjoy going places.
The ride?
Not so much, but when he hears keys he is ready!
