There’s never a shortage of exciting new spots for us to add to the weekly highlights — sometimes it’s hard to keep it under the handful we include here — but if your spot isn’t in there yet, why don’t you submit it to the Destination Guide?
Each week, the Destination Guide receives tons of submissions for clubs, celebrations, festivals, art exhibits, and beautifully built spaces created to delight and admire. That’s just scratching the surface of what is available for us to explore.
Take lots of pics and share them on our Official Second Life Flickr page — where we select images to feature on our social media channels as part of the Pic of the Day program.
See you inworld soon!

The mountains are calling, and I must go." ~John Muir
