North Pole

Several SIMs can be found by searching with North Pole, including shops just named so. But what are these numbers? The distance does not match and there seems to be no relation with the latitude.




Real Noth Pole. The directional sign will be true, written in km? But this could be set for tourists of “North Pole Tour” ^-^




There is an office of Santa Claus at the North Pole. Now he is sorting good and bad children watching the list.




Elves are working at the toy factory. It is cute that there is a bed room for many elves.




In the RL, Santa is at the town of Rovaniemi, Finland. More than 700,000 letters are coming to him every year from all over the world. This is a real photo of Rovaniemi, like a town in SL! Other way around, this might be the model of some villages in SL.




I searched for South Pole too, but there is none found in SL. This is the real South Pole, at the USA station.




Birds eye view of the Amundsen Scot South Pole Station. The south pole could be the right arrow surrounded by something. But according to the picture above, it could be on the left. The small difference like this might not matter.




The wintering team might spend Christmas and New Year here? It could be OK since it is bright at this time. I wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year! For all readers too!

Christmas Tree

Found a cool Christmas decoration. The open structure of the cottage might be cold, but it could be wormer when many friends gathering together.




I am at the top to measure the height. 25m, that could be the maximum of fir trees




This is the biggest tree I ever saw, at the November Festival at Edo. The building next to it was the Kanda Shrine, made of more than 8.000 prims. On the right, there was my Temi’s Tee House. The Edo castle was spread in the next four SIMs. On the left, there was a stage where the Japanese singer, Ichikawa performed live music. On the right front of the tree, there was an archery contest facility. Good old days….




The biggest one in RL might be that at the Rockefeller Center. The height is 25m, weight of 12 ton! The star at the top is Swarovski, weight of 400kg. It is said that there are more than 50.000 LEDs,.




This is the tree that I have been using from the start of SL. It is an excellent one, with only one prim and working as a snow machine. Unfortunately, it cannot be stretched.




There were beautiful white trees at the Norh Pole, where I will visit next.

Ski in SL

In the last article, I said that SL ski cannot equal to the gaming machine, but it is possible to ski in SL.




This is an animation I used many years ago. It is possible to make slalom, downhill, or jump, but it does not move itself and it is necessary to control with directional keys according to the animation. But it is possible to fly, or to ski in the sky by adjusting hoverheight.




Spread eagle, that I never did in RL. I can jump as the above, but this one is scary.




It moves according to the directional keys, so it is possible to ski on a flat surface or uphill, also on ice.




Together with a skater. Actually, ski edge does not work at all on the ice, so you will fall down when doing this pose. The skater seems floating, maybe the hoverheight was not adjusted.




The stage this time was a cool village in a valley. This is looked down from a hill surrounding it. The slope on the left is the area where I shot SSs. It is possible to ski down all the way to the village. You can ski on the cliff in front.




Cozy chairs and lodge on the lakeside. Different from other towns, some peoples are getting together.

Old articles for skiing. I noticed that I had skied several times in SL. My photo technique seems to have been improved a little since then.

Ride in the snow

There are many rides for city tour. This is rather authentic sleigh, which can fly in the sky.




It is rare to see such a huge train for the tour ride. It may carry many guests.




There is a restaurant car. This is one of the most gorgeous sightseeing rides ever seen in SL. Unfortunately, this goes only around the small village. It could be nice to tour from SIM to SIM, with sleeping carriage.




Someone said, “A mobile suits Santam”, but this could be the one.




Beautiful skiing slope. It reminds me of the sensation when seeing virgin snow where there is no trace on it early in the morning.




There may be no animation in SL for skiing on the fresh snow. This is a TV game. It is possible to ski down various mountains freely, also includes paraglider and wing suits. As the driving and flying. SL cannot be equal to the gaming machines.


Playstation4, “Steep”
