Now 10 years ago a humble island saw the light of day & was tenderly named Auroro. In the meantime, Auroro has grown up into a golden pearl. In December 2020 it celebrates its 10th anniversary.
Happy Birthday ✿ Auroro!
In cooperation with the owners I produced this movie for you. You wonder why the titles in the movie are trilingual? Well, this island is maintained by a couple. Dorina Landar is Hungarian. Babilonto Karu is German. Both offer to learn & practice Esperanto. No worries, they actually welcome any language on Auroro!
For to celebrate Auroro's 10th Anniversary, a party is planned:
Thursday,
Dec. 10th 2020,
11 – 13 h SLT
(20 – 22 h CET)
Owners Dorina & Babilonto
& DJ Danny
they will be happy to welcome you.
Merely drop by!

movie star — classic car Karina greets Dreamshire
classic car Karina (rezz box version)
manufactured & sold by Babilonto Karu
Dreamshire Estate (Welcome Area)
owned & maintained by Nimoui & Lily Chenier
On the island of Dreamshire I drive classic car & take my driving test. Also I produce my 1st movie. How did this happen?
Babilonto, a friend of mine, has built an oldtimer. The model is called Karina. He parks the prototype in front of my cinema branch BIRDOLUMOJ on Auroro with the request to just try it out.
Now vehicles in Second Life are new territory for me. But after my first driving lesson I am so delighted that he immediately adds it to his shop range. So Karina gets available on the marketplace in different colors, also along with a rezzbox.
Karina ✿ a fancy classic car!
Already some weeks ago Nimoui & Lily Chenier announced in their landgroup that their island Dreamshire will celebrate its Fourth Anniversary in September 2020.
Happy Birthday ✿ Dreamshire!
Instantly I thought that Karina would be a wonderful match for this lovely island! So I gave the vehicle to Nimoui & Lily as a gift, along with the rezzbox. They tried out the vehicle on their island. And they were so enthusiastic that they installed the rezzbox even twice on their estate.
Visitors can now borrow a vehicle & drive around with it: here on Dreamshire Island (ground level) & here in Dreamshire City (sky level). Take your loved one by the hand & on a romantic classic car ride!
When you touch the rezzbox, a menu appears in the viewer. You can choose of 3 colors: red – blue – black. (Black is actually precious wood.) Then the vehicle appears from nowhere. Its wheels are not simply made of rotating textures, but of real spokes. Chassis & body are a feast for the eyes!
When you now touch the vehicle, its doors open. In the rear there is space for driver & one passenger. When you take seat inside, a funny horn sounds & the engine starts. Close the doors & drive off: Just like old times! Direction & speed are controlled with the arrow keys on the keyboard. Even myself can do!
But this is now also my first attempt to shoot a movie in Second Life. Concerning my movie's quality I ask you for your indulgence:
Nimoui points out that visitors can sink the red bollards. One of them I show on last picture: Just touch! It sinks into the ground with a rich sound & gives way for car. From the dead end you'll then have to come back somehow.
It takes a few moments before Karina disintegrates. So if you get out by mistake, you still have time to get back in. Her fuel is theoretically enough until next restart of the simulation – if you don't fall asleep before ...

calendar entry — Leggers & Tails in the Oasis temple
In the Second Life there are some dance & music events I like to join in. A few of them I am putting into my calendar and introduce to you. They meet regularly. Music and atmosphere are teasing. I meet nice people there, even new friends. — Take a try!
Teleport to Oasis (Dreamshire City)
Club Party Leggers & Tails hosted by Joyce Travels
DJane Martina Singh
on Wednesdays at 1 PM (SLT)
The oriental temple Oasis is located in Dreamshire City in the upper level. By the way, dance balls on Dreamshire Estate contain liquid dance animations of high quality. That makes fun!
There is no dresscode for this party. Sexually accentuated appearance or behavior will certainly result in warning.
DJane Martina sets up her equipment & installs the music. Do you see the thick glowing headphones? You can't escape her beats! Via Voice, she welcomes arriving guests again & again. Who arrives fresh, feels instantly welcome. None regrets that!
Joyce tells me, the party's name Leggers & Tails originally adresses steampunk people (leggers) & merfolks (tails). Also pirates & natives join in. Wonderfully mixed people here!
Hot club music drives the dancers. In general, the joy of life here is contagious. Too bad I can't stay that long, in the middle of the week. But I always come back here!

Valkyrie Transport — a great little train
The group The Great Little Trains of SL unites three narrow-gauge railways and their fans. Each of them has its own environment, its own creator, its own charm. Each is crafted with love and care. — Here I introduce you Valkyrie Transport!
Teleport to Valkyrie Transport (VT)
managed & arranged by Dizzi Sternberg • (Blog)
textures & meshes by NightShade Fugu • (Marketplace)
scripts by Janet Rossini • (Blog)
Part of group The Great Little Trains of SL
The Lexicolo region is run by 3 people. - NightShade Fugu creates the textures & the meshings. - Janet Rossini writes the scripts. – Dizzi Sternberg is the idea generator & composes the arrangement. - Their jobs can vary. Since Dizzi rezzes the finished parts, you can read only her name everywhere. But she expressly points out to me that they work here as team!
This Trio, they are brimming with creativity. Therefore, there is a lot to discover in their region. For example, on roof terrace you can enter a guided balloon tour. Taking the stairs, you can step down into Dizzi World. There you can get teleport marks to some other attractions & experiences on ground & sky levels. While I'm talking to Dizzi, she is testing a new Alpine train at sky level. They are living here for about 13 years. Dizzi estimates that they currently have at least 30 attractions running in Lexicolo. That is beyond any Baedeker!
In this report I confine myself to the trains’ network at ground level. It is called Valkyrie Transport. The landing point is located on the roof terrace of the Main Depot. Down the stairs, I reach the gates.
This board gives away a set of steampunk hats in 4 fahionable colours. I put on the red one. Now I can't be missed anymore!
Coloured arrows move on this board. They indicate each train's movement. Each one 's worth a ride!
The turntable keeps order on rails. Spellbound, I admire the cars. They are excellently meshed & their textures are intensely glowing. This award goes to NightShade!
Signals & switches & barriers work reliably. Elephants of course have right of way!
This car is named Gullinbursti. Its rich golden tone is a feast for the eyes!
Next model is a Steampunk Streetcar. As a German, I learn here that streetcar is the American term for Tram. It is steam powered. Fascinated, I watch all its moving parts.
The Double Fairlie locomotive Merddin Emrys is a technical masterpiece. It consists of 14 moving parts. The valvegears move precisely. In the curves they stay true to gauge on the tracks!
No matter how steep & narrow the gradients & curves are, a true Double Fairlie can handle them!
How is that possible? - Years ago Janet Rossini wrote one of the first scripts ever for to make an object running & turning smoothly in the grid. This script now runs in almost everything that moves in this region. Even in horseback riding & walking excursions.
This scripting is Janet's life's work. I'm recommending her for the Award of Grid Merit!
In this Region, there are some other locomotives & cars to discover. You have to see for yourself!
Gosh, here I meet Richard Trevithick’s brave 1802 locomotive Pen-y-Darren. Here she has been carefully restored & tirelessly she carries out her work!
Here I must investigate closer! The crane picks up wooden boxes & puts them onto the flat waggons. In the rear, a tipper gets lifted & dumps coal onto the tipper trucks. Hopefully, not my suit gets coaled!
Fully loaded, the Pen-y-Darren leaves the Main Depot, travels among a hilly meadow landscape & reaches the Power Station. There the gate opens, the train enters backwards & is unloaded inside.
What do you suppose the contents of these boxes are? I have heard a rumor about a secret laboratory beneath the Power Station. It is electrified, by the way. When I walk into that fence, I glow & smoke like a sparkler!
The single cars run there & back. Turntables change their directions. Locos with waggons travel snakewise over meadows & hills. In between they stop for some minutes at Hobi House so that the coal train can supply the Power Station. This region never sleeps!
Rowland Emett's fairytale tram, my favorite! Which one is yours?

BIRDOLUMOJ — cinema BIRDLIGHTS goes company
Teleport BIRDOLUMOJ – short movie cinema
Entrepreneur Flora Sperling
Supported by Dorina Landar & Babilonto Karu
Visitor Group Auroro-Amiko
Since a few days my cinema has also been running on Auroro. How did this happen?
During a dance party on the pier I told about my cinema BIRDLIGHTS at Seogyeo Station. And I asked Dorina & Babilonto whether they could imagine such a cinema on their island. So they visited my cinema on Seogyeo. As result, I was allowed to move into a building in the harbor town of Auroro that was just vacant. Dorina has furnished & decorated the projection room. Babilonto has supported me set up the technology. I have named the new branch BIRDOLUMOJ; this is Esperanto for BIRDLIGHTS.
At the harbor promenade you will find this poster. Not dried yet. Touching it, you get teleported right to the cinema's entrance.
Approaching from the interior of the island, the cinema is located at the entrance of the town, right on the main avenue. On the façade you get known what movies are current & coming.
In the foyer, my reliable employee is offering for you: Infocard (German & English), Group Membership, Teleportlink. For suggestions & complaints please send me an intrnal message or notecard.
Group membership is not required. But if you are a member of the group Auroro-Amiko, you will receive the new program regularly. In BIRDOLUMOJ the same program runs as in BIRDLIGHTS. The fortnightly program change is entered in my public calendar.
The elevator takes you to the projection room. Have a seat – press the switch on the screen on the bottom right – pick a movie!
I look forward to your visit. I wish you good entertainment!
