Keeping the feeling alive.

Lake superior is still beautiful though at least. But it's a pretty long drive there from here. At least 6 hours

Actually, it kind of seems like a chicken egg thing. I don't know what came first, the trash or the absence of people No one visits because it's unpleasant, but the dirtiness isn't necessarily litter. It's just muddy and there's concrete everywhere. Also, lots of stuff washes up from elsewhere.

Yep; Balm Beach is nice in the summer, though, and it's only 3.5 hours away from here. I think Balm Beach is Lake Superior, but I was never good with geography

I'm wondering how after almost 2 years how some of you here try to keep that feeling alive when you think of the Na'vi, Pandora, the plants and fauna and Eywa?

I go to a nature preserve.





And I bring my Ipod/Ipone with the Avatar soundtrack. The first two times I did that after I saw Avatar, it brought me to tears.

That's beautiful crickett, where is that, does it stay green all year round, or do the leaves fall of in autumn? Also, do you do anything besides walk through the paths when you're there?

Sands Point Preserve, Long Island, New York. Yes, the leaves do fall off in autumn. As for my doing anything besides walk through the paths when I'm there, not really. There is a beach, so I can go there. I've seen people fish there, but I don't have the boat and I don't really know how to fish (nor do I have a license).

There used to be a dinosaur exhibit for as long as I can remember, but they shut that down I think last year. Budget cuts I guess.

Naw what a nice place to visit. I can see why it can bring you to tears when you go there. If only we had more nature areas around. Till then I suppose I'll be seeing more of the sea in the next few months.

so no nature hippie tree hugging?

[Fosus]

I does not usually hug trees. I just adore them. The winter is coming and trees covered in millions and millions of little ice flakes is breathtakingly beautiful.

[Pa'li Makto]

I have to experience a winter like that.
It's perfectly fine to not hug trees, just as long as you respect/adore them.
I suppose the most exciting season here is the autumn, when the tree leaves change colour.

[Theorist]

Yeah nothing wrong with not hugging trees, would just love to share it with someone here.

Autumn is beautiful here, but it's so short it's almost sad because it's mostly over in 2 weeks.

Winter is nice here if you get far enough away from the cities. As always, it's beautiful in the woods, but its gross on the roads because the snow turns grey/black and it's kinda depressing.

That is so beautiful. It makes me think of Narnia.

[Ikran Makto]

How are you able to turn Iknimaya from day to night? i've read that its a certain part of the game when you have to leave for 2-3 hours but, when? I would love to fly my Ikran at night, it would be like a whole new experience in the game.

[Ikran Makto]

Avatar was an amazing experience and i don't want that amazing feeling of it to die. i draw art of the Na'vi, plants, and animals. i always like to imagine the world of Pandora in my head, and when i do, it feels like i'm actually there. I play the game to get a new feeling of the world and its amazing. i will never let the feeling die.
