My favourite Sim in SL was called "Wintermoon". I saw "was". because sadly, like a lot of things in SL, it couldn't retain permanence. On day it was just...gone...
I would go there to find solace for myself when I was hurting or lonely or both. I would take friends or more so to there to experience the beauty of the sims - arguably the best ones in Second Life - and also to "hear the calling".
Each time I went there, despite the hundred plus times I went, I would feel "called" to a particular area that somehow I had never seen and experienced before there. Somehow in the spot, I would find peace and easement of mind. Somehow many of those I cared about did too.
This picture is one of the 124 Flickr's servers up and "ate" out of 142 pictures I had journaled. For reasons unknown, Flickr "ate" the pictures and a team of six of their people took three days to find them again for me.
Every single one.
For that, I was eternally grateful as my health as it is means I can't always trust my brain and documenting my SL for better or worse via Flickr, helped me to preserve the experiences and memories of our digital world.
The catch was all my writing, song links etc, were still gone. the pictures remain and tell a story unto themselves, but the context is vague and cloudy without the journaling. Still, they are here again. In my hard drive and I can share once more a moment from the past - now a glance if you will.
I do know this was Wintermoon. I do know I was troubled looking for answers that day when wandering and I most especially know the sim "showed me" where to be and what do, so I sat, read by the sea and forest and settled my mind.
For that, for Wintermoon, I am forever grateful.
Be of peace all of you.

This historic early 20th Century Arts and Crafts-style house has exposed rafter ends at the roof eaves and a relatively simple exterior. The house has been modified with replacement vinyl windows, an addition over the porch, and vinyl siding.
Furthermore, the second-floor addition over the porch was probably originally a balcony.

Historic St. Ann Church was dedicated March 15, 1896, on the southeast corner of Rosemary and Datura Streets. In 1902, it was moved to its current location which was donated by Henry M.

St. Ann Church is the oldest Catholic Church and parish in the Diocese of Palm Beach. It was developed by the Fathers of the Society of Jesus.
St. Ann’s has several programs that serve the community.

WEST PALM BEACH — One of the oldest churches in Florida, she's graced the slight rise above the Lake Worth Lagoon since 1895.
The Hurricane of 1928 made off with her steeple. And as years passed, a wall of city and county halls, hotels, apartments, and offices grew up around her, isolating her campus from the downtown bustle but framing her soft-spoken charm.
On Monday the city commission took an initial vote to declare St. Ann Catholic Church a local landmark, recognizing an institution that has stood its ground at 310 N. Olive Ave. for as long as West Palm Beach has been a city.
The church's five buildings gained "historic" designation in 2003 but the additional label of "landmark" will entitle the parish and diocese to sell more of its unneeded development rights, to replace the steeple, and restore and improve a property that has withstood more than a century of South Florida heat, wind and salt air.
Monday's vote, though unanimous, did not go as well as the church hoped.
While the church spent three years planning the property's rehabilitation, city staff didn't tell church representatives until Feb. 24 that changes to the Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) program meant St. Ann could expect far less money from selling its TDR's than it counted on for the project.
The TDR program allows historic buildings whose zoning would allow them to build bigger structures, to instead sell the rights to that unneeded square footage to developers who want to enlarge projects elsewhere downtown. Thirteen churches in downtown West Palm qualify for the program and three have made use of it.
Under the original rules, St. Ann could have made roughly $3.8 million from a TDR sale, which the church planned to use to attract matching donations. But under the revised formula, church officials were disturbed to learn, much less square footage could be sold, potentially bringing only $2.1 million.
Architect Rick Gonzalez, retained by the church, estimated renovations will cost $6 million to $8 million.

During the Golden Age of American Illustration in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, artists like Charles Dana Gibson could become wealthy celebrities. They could become rich and famous by creating drawings and paintings for newspapers, books, magazines, and commercial advertising.
Gibson was educated at the Art Students League of New York and wanted to create paintings for publication, but the marketplace definitely favored his pen-and-ink drawings. That preference was so strong that his “Gibson Girl” became an ideal image of youthful American femininity, and Gibson’s drawings of her were responsible for the success of several magazines. At the height of his career, Gibson was paid $100,000 for 100 drawings over a four-year period (well over $1 million today), and he was later able to purchase “Life” magazine with a syndicate of successful illustrators.
