Aimee Weber never fails to amaze me with the detail in her texturing, so it’s no accident that on most trips I take to Midnight City I make it a rule to invade whatever skybox project she’s got going.

The shadows baked into the textures of this laboratory build are, hands down, the best I’ve seen in Second Life. Aimee is truly a master of the medium. There are more pictures of this stunning room in the portfolio section of Aimee’s website, without the map of the upcoming Relay For Life grounds, posing stands, or assorted clutter in my picture.

Castles aren’t exactly a rare thing in Second Life. “A man’s home is his castle” is, more often than not, taken quite literally in a world where erecting a fortress is hardly more difficult than building a bungalow. However, there are some builds that stand head and shoulders above the rest.

The Elven Tower in Orwood is one example of such an exceptional build. I ran across it, like many things I’ve seen in SL, completely by accident, after a physics mishap tossed me several sims away from my workshop. (To my neighbors in Drawbridge: I apologize for the giant smoking crater. I’ll have someone in to fix that in a few days.) I looked up, and the distinctive outline of the tower immediately caught my eye.
