I never thought I'd be able to walk through this legendary city by myself...

 

For the first time in a long time, it is a place where I can feel big surprise unique to SL, which is exactly like SL.

The ancient city of Alexandria has been beautifully recreated.

Moreover, Alexandria, currently spread over two sims, is still under construction and will be expanded to three sims in the near future.

 

The city of Alexandria is not only designed to look like a city, but it is also based on many historical facts.

It is also home to the Library of Alexandria, a center of ancient knowledge, and the Pharos Lighthouse, one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

Visitors can also learn about Alexandria, ancient Rome, and ancient Greece.

 

We usually tend to spend our virtual lives for pleasure, but here we may need to straighten up a bit.

And I am puzzled how I can capture this wonderful place in a photograph.

On a recent trip to Door County Wisconsin, I stopped by the legendary Anderson Dock.

 

When I first got there to scope it out, it was raining with a sustained wind of at least 20-30 MPH. Not real good odds of getting a picture. As I waited around for sunset, the rain finally stopped and the sun poked out for just a few minutes to get this shot. I felt fortunate to get something for my trouble.

 

Per the Door County Pulse website... After Norwegian brothers Aslag and Halvor Anderson recognized the need for a deepwater dock in Ephraim, they constructed one in 1858. Throughout the 1880s, steamers arriving at the dock — most notably from the Goodrich Transportation Company — brought much-needed goods and much-appreciated tourists, and this activity ultimately vitalized Ephraim. Although the dock’s warehouse — the present-day Hardy Gallery — was built to store merchandise, it became a visible reminder of the sailors and ships that had stopped there.

 

Emily Irwin, outreach director and curator for the Ephraim Historical Foundation, explained that sailors arriving in Ephraim painted the name of their ship and the date on the side of the building as a way to mark their visit.

 

It’s a bit of a mystery exactly when the graffiti tradition began, but sailors were known to write on the warehouse from around 1910 into the 1950s, perhaps to express their relief and gratitude for a safe passage through the notorious Death’s Door waters, or simply to commemorate their arrival in Ephraim.

 

In 1949, the Ephraim Historical Foundation purchased the dock and warehouse from the Anderson family, and in 1961, the foundation leased the building to the Hardy Gallery. Through these shifts, however, the graffiti tradition has remained intact, with the public picking up where the sailors left off.

The fire I breathe is where I live

Say my name, incredible

Say my name, an animal

One life to live

I never give up, I never give in

Every day I'll fight to be Legendary♫”

Southern Alps, New Zealand.

 

The Southern Alps (Māori: Kā Tiritiri o te Moana) are a mountain range extending along much of the length of New Zealand's South Island, reaching its greatest elevations near the island's western side.

The range runs 500 km north to south. The tallest peak is Aoraki / Mount Cook, the highest point in New Zealand at 3,724 metres (12,218 ft) and there are sixteen other points that exceed 3,000 metres (9,800 ft) in height. The mountains are cut through with glacial valleys and lakes.

The Southern Alps lie along a geological plate boundary, part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, with the Pacific Plate to the southeast pushing westward and colliding with the northward-moving Indo-Australian Plate to the northwest.

A 90' drop in the Black Creek Gorge called Noccalula Falls is a popular destination and campground in Gadsden, Alabama. A ballroom was once operated in the cave behind the Falls, but efforts at expansion led to a partial collapse.

 

Named for a Cherokee Princess, legend (inscribed on a plaque behind the statue) purports that Noccalula was supposed to marry a warrior of the Creek tribe, as arranged by her father, a Cherokee tribal chief, to promote peace between the tribes. However, on her wedding day, she jumped from the rocks along the Gorge, rather than marry, for she had fallen in love with a Cherokee warrior of her own tribe.

The legendary 80 foot spire dubbed Long Dong Silver by climbers. The area has seen considerable damage from climbers and ORV. The ground crust is fragile so I tried to stay on paths already pounded in by others. Climbers of the spire will no doubt eventually lead to it's destruction. One description by a person who climbed it said, "As you hammer on pins the other side of the tower falls off." Wilbur is wearing a red coat and is the little figure you can see near the base of the spire. In the background, against the cliff, you can see the Angel of Death, another spire.

Legendary stories aside, this stone circle stands beneath Belstone Tor in the moorland hill landscape of Dartmoor National Park. It is a cairn circle, or kerbed circle, that would have surrounded a central burial cist known on Dartmoor as a kistvaen.

 

Various legends or folk lore are attributed to this circle but they revolve around the idea of people having been turned to stone for dancing on a Sunday. No doubt stories told by those who wanted to frighten others to control them in order to strengthen their own position of power in society. Nothing much changes!!

Nijo Castle's legendary Ninomaru Garden and it's koi pond, which is lined with decorative boulders gathered throughout all corners of Japan, were designed in 1626 on the castle grounds for Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa (Edo) shogunate (1603–1867). If you have read James Clavell's novel "Shogun" or watched the Shogun TV series, you're already familiar with Tokugawa Ieyasu because Clavell based the warlord 'Lord Toranaga' on him.)

 

Lord Tokugawa unified Japan in 1600, following twenty six years of civil war at the end of the 16th century. In 1601 he directed Japan's daimyos (feudal lords) to construct Nijo Castle as his Kyoto residence in a location very close to the Imperial Palace.

 

The castle grounds, completed in 1603 (amazingly after only two years!), are spectacular, covering 68 acres (27.5 hectares) which include 86,000 sq ft (8,000 sq m) of buildings including two palaces, ponds, rock gardens, and inner- and outer moats. It is now a World Heritage Site.

 

Upon completion, Tokugawa moved in and hosted a ceremony wherein Japan's Emperor announced to the gathered feudal lords his appointment of Tokugawa as Shogun. Tokugawa's main residence and his new seat of government was in Edo (now called Toyko), so this huge Nijo Castle was akin to his 'country home' used primarily whenever he visited the emperor in the Imperial Capital.

 

In 1614 the shogun led his samurai army from Nijo Castle on his victorious Siege of Osaka Castle which ended the line of the Toyotomi family, his last political opposition, and established himself as the absolute polical ruler of Japan. His shogunate lasted two hundred sixty four years. In 1857 the 15th Shogun of his line, Tokugawa Yoshinobu, ended shogunate rule and returned political control to the Emperor as Japan opened to the world.
