I am still amazed in Second Life when I teleport home and land on Dragonhenge, my own sim. I really wanted the name changed when I rented my own openspace sim, even though Dragonhenge is part of the dAlliez estates. I've lived now for over a year in the estates and Alliez is a wonderful landlord. She's quite tolerant of me, and really helped me get settled on the island. :)
Dragonhenge came as a ready-made caldera sim, sorta. The caldera part is only about 75% complete, and it is smoother than what you expect - you can walk on the ridge easily. In the middle, the caldera ridge comes down on both sides to ground level, so you can walk through the ridge, if that makes any sense. You kinda have to see it. (And you can - Dragonhenge is in Search, although I do have a security orb at my home to prevent things, like the large ant that came and crawled on top of me one day, from invading.)
My beach house, built by Roundog Tonic over two years ago, is on the only large level area of Dragonhenge, which is at the mouth of the caldera. As you walk outside, you see a terrain path through the canal that goes through the center of the caldera. The path leads to a circular area in the middle of the caldera, which has an enormous treehouse in it.
My observatory, the Codex Observatory, built by Noelyci Ingmann (of Ingmann Designs) sits on one side of the caldera ridge. Behind it, for now, is a second ridge, thin and jagged intentionally, at the edge of the island. I left water running through the area between the caldera ridge and this second ridge. This is where I hope someday Wyrm Delve (my enormous dragon cavern, built by Maximx Sansome originally on the Hostel sim, before the sim got silly) will live again. Right now it looks a bit odd, but I did want to try my hand at terraforming.
Dragonhenge is still a work in progress. I need to add some landscaping, and perhaps some furnishings in the treehouse. But I love the look - it is so peaceful. This is the third or fourth place I've put my beach house down...I just love it. Roundog totally captured what I wanted.
I love my island. I hope to have many more Ode butterfly hunts on it. :) Come look at it anytime!
