For awhile, I've kept an eye out for Residents who've made visual lists of their favorite "cool places" (or as I like to alternately spell, "kewl") to be in Second Life. Reason is: while I've collected a number of lists on notecards and even embedded landmarks, they ultimately proved inaccessible on greater levels. From work, I got requests from coworkers for specifics they wanted to experience inworld (e.g., "show me dinosaurs!"), and I found simply doing a textual description was insufficient, not to mention incomplete. Plus, when you don't have SL access, a web gallery is good!

True to the tone of what a picture is worth, I eventually went forth with my own, incomplete (as it'll always be) Cool Places to Visit in Second Life set on Flickr. The long-reaching extension is also that, thanx to SLBuzz crossposting, tags also get generated from sent-postcard captions. This aids searchability, something I'm very thankful for in retrospect.

Serendipitously, as so often happens to me, Ronan Dal kindly came by to visit me at my offices yesterday. He, with the fitting tag of "coolplaces", has been assembling his own selection on Snapzilla, taking bold pictures like these:

Like the above, if you've created your own compilation from your travels and culled what you consider to be well-worth for others to explore, please let me know — it could be a photo album, roundup blog post, or quite likely something I haven't considered yet. I seek more of these.
