Spring Floating Island (Sim Size)

spring floating island with grotto sits

The spring floating island (sister to the summer floating island) is here and it's absolutely lovely. The island is surrounded by mountains and one pass is available for entrance if you don't teleport up the platform. On the left side of the entrance, is a small cave that pocket avatars may walk into and hang out in. There are three waterfalls and one waterfall forms a river that cuts across the island and disappears into the cracks and crevasses of the mountains. A rainbow with clouds hovers over the mountain side. 

mountain pass entrance

At the end of the second waterfall, there is a grotto which the water uses to disappear underneath the island. On each rock that surrounds the grotto is a sit and so you and your friends can hang out and chat around the waterfall. At the third waterfall is a pool, which swirls peacefully. 

Two green trees are at the end of the river. There is a single sit in both trees in case you wish to be left in peace to contemplate your Second Life. The wildflowers are blooming on the mountainsides and on the meadow floor.  

There is a bridge that spans the river with an arch of flowers noting the entrance and exit. Once you cross the bridge there is an area of no flowers or rocks this area is left blank in case you wish to rez a home here.

Fountain of the Gods Collection -- Neptune's Fountain

neptune and his horses

The final installation for the 2016 Valentine's Season is another Fountain of the Gods Fountain with Neptune, the Roman god of the sea, making his debut.

This fountain features Neptune holding his trident standing on some mossy rocks as a fountain jets up behind him and gentle waterfalls fall off the rocks. Neptune is copying his nephew cupid and is peeing in the fountain! This scene wouldn't be complete without his horses and they are running and jumping as if to leap over the side of the pool.

various features of the fountain

An additional piece of fun is that there are three sits with this fountain--one is on the edge of the pool (laying down on the side), the second is on the rocks which Neptune is standing one is lying on the stomach on the mossy rock that juts out from the side between two water falls and the other can be accessed from the slab that Neptune is standing on and the sit is on another mossy rock opposite of the one laying down. Cute places to take pictures, talk to your friends, relax and contemplate your Second Life.

This fountain is made for town squares, mall centers, or a huge garden using this as the main feature. Although this is made for pocket avatars, since this is part of the Fountain of the Gods series, it's bigger than life and is about two pocket avatars in height or maybe three.

Fountain of the Gods -- Style 2

style 2

The fountain of the gods is inspired by the original fountain of the gods, which represent the ideal in Baroque style. The fountain of the gods that I made for you isn't an exact replica, but the spirit of the baroque is present.

fountain at sunrise

Poseidon is in the center relief enclosed by a white marble enclosure with roman columns surround him. On his right is Aphrodite who is enclosed in a marble box and supporting her state are two roman columns on plinths, and on his left Hera who is also in a marble box supported by two roman columns on plinths. Flowing underneath Poseidon's feet is a waterfall that muscled horses have been caught in and frozen for all time. The waterfall is enclosed by a bigger pool. The ambient light in Second Life glitters off the statues during the day. At sunset, the white marble turns rose and reflects the soft setting rays of the sun. At midnight, the statues appear black set against the white of the foaming waterfall. The fountain of the gods no matter, which time of day or night you have your settings this fountain is delightful.

This fountain is made to be either abutted against a wall of a building or at the back or side of your backyard or garden.

fountain at mid-day

The only difference between style one and two is that style two doesn't have the Pegasuses above Poseidon.

The sounds of a water fall tinkle in the background. To adjust the volume of this sound, adjust your volume on your PC or the master control button found in the upper right corner of the SL screen.

The fountain is much bigger than .38th of a meter because it's imposing in real life so too, must it be imposing in Second Life. I would imagine that it will compliment your height up to two or three feet tall.

fountain at midnight

The permissions on this fountain is yes copy, no mod, no transfer, partial mesh, and has 115 prims.

If you would like to see this fountain in Second Life before purchasing then please do send Atlantis Jewell a notecard and I'll make time from real life to log in and show it to you.
