Tagus Enchanted Forest - Second Life

This place I found, Tagus Enchanted Forest, is probably one of my favourite places I've been to in Second Life. As soon as I teleported in, I landed in among a circle of stones which really emphasises the enchanted vibe - not to mention a chracter riding horse went straight past me as I landed. If you look closely you can see his horse standing on the beach opposite me in the above screenshot.

Here is the 'welcome' area where people can leave donations, thank yous, comments etc. etc. - as well as the rules of Tagus. I decided to keep walking further as I felt that paths guarded with trees were very inviting and encouraged exploration.

My first journey off the beaten path was when I came along this fountain with a small footbridge next to it. Looks exactly like the sort of place I'd like to head on a walk, so I followed through and found a nice little pond (pictured below).

As stated in a previous post, and likely already known by everyone using Second Life, assets do take quite a while to load in some times and usually only load fully once your avatar gets physically close to them. So I wanted to experience what else was surrounding this place as I couldn't see properly with the 'naked eye' i.e without flying up close. This is probably the most impressive place I've seen so far in second life, the foliage, the waterfalls and the general atmosphere make it genuinely feel like a commercial 'game' world, as opposed to something like a hobby.
