Hi all

I need to do a particular photo and so I need the right location in sl for it.

I am looking for a hilltop location - somewhere quite high and peaceful and serene that looks out onto water :)

Would be grateful for any suggestions :)

Oh I have tried Gardens of Apollo, Botanical Gardens, straylight, maya and as beautiful a location as these are - it's not quite what I am looking for..

TIA

BB :)

The ridge in the northwest edge of Livingtree

The Forest of Kharunvel, especially in Rodeo or Stinson

The far end of Serenite

Does this look like the kind of place?? This was taken at the SL Prairie Reserve. There's some beautiful hilly land there you might want to check out. Also, look for Tuscany....another place with pretty scenery and rolling hills!

Some rather nice spots in Mexico, but can't seem to find any of my pictures that focus specifically on your desired view. "Visit Mexico" is the search term (if that doesn't work, "Chichen Itza" will get you there).

Not sure exactly what you are looking for, but here is a view from the land beneath where I have my sky gallery.

Acropolis Gardens - there is a walking path that goes waaay up, and the scenery is lovely.

You can try my mountain--Mt. Trumboji in Starax. You'll have to use the map, since it's not listed in search. Just type in Starax and go to the south east quarter when you get there.

Try Amarin Island. That 5-sim area has lots of tall hills, looking out over water.

Stop by Apollo and wander about. That island is very beautiful, peaceful and has higher mountain tops.

The sim which houses Lassitude & Ennui (Nouveau, I think) has a beautiful landscape too. Rather open hillside with wild flowers.

You are also welcome at my land - Lake Gnoma
It has a lake surrounded by hills, a river with waterfalls, and a hot spring amongst others. There are poseballs at some locations.
For instance, check the 20 meters long rope bridge, with poseballs for a couple in the middle. From there you have a view on the lake, and a waterfall behind you.
Be careful though, the bridge will sway when you walk on it;)

For slurls click on the signposts on this map: http://www.gypsygadgets.com/blog/

If you want something special in the background, IM me. We can make an arrangement to set something up for your photo.
