Exploring the Fallen Kingdom

Pausing to gaze at the ruins of her former kingdom, she reminisced on what once was…

I wanted find a location where I could take a picture of my alt as a sort of wood elf. Perusing the Second Life destination guide led me to a page about WillowWood, a location full of beautiful trees, meadows, and ruins.

According to the description I read on the destination guide, WillowWood is “A once thriving town reduced to ruins and secluded happy places. If you are looking for a peaceful easy feeling indulge yourself in the serene graces of WillowWood. A masterpiece design created by one of SL's most accomplished region designers, Terry Fotherington.”

After reading this, I googled Terry Fotherington and ended up following his Flickr page, because it’s so full of utterly gorgeous pictures featuring fashion, landscaping, and décor. Some of the other regions he has designed include Pemberley, La Plage Perdue, Frogmore, and Sainte Rose sur Mer. I feel so silly for not having heard of him before, but I’ll be sure to keep an eye out for more of his builds now!
