The Far Away Boat

March 14, 2008

There’s a new boat on podcast island.. tied to a dock.

Ok, that’s great, but where’d it come from? Believe it or not, a wheat field… the Far Away.

In this far away blend of art and (probably) nostalgia, AM Radio has created an interesting scene with more to it than what’s on the surface. He’s clearly making a statement or statements of some kind, but exactly what that is would be an exercise for the reader.

The first thing we saw was the windmill… it allows for some windy flights, try it out.

Then we sat at the table of retro/modern technology. Click things here. There’s presents in those prims.

The train is really interesting.

Weird things happen here. Standing, waiting…

Looking to the sky, and then…

It happens… is this an alien abduction? The classic “country encounter” with something from out there? Or is it just someone who’s never felt the sun before? I don’t think so… look at the chairs behind me in the second pic.

After this bizarre experience, something else out of place. A dining room in the wheat field.

The man behind this is no less interesting. Covered in dragonflies and wearing a unique period garb, he’s somehow exactly at home in the remote country setting he’s created here on the Dreamworld North sim.

So, back to the boat.. he’s got a banner with vendors for his various objects on it, one of which is the boat, which I didn’t see on the sim. But you can buy the train and some of the other scenes from the field as well.

I think it looks great on PI.
