Summer on Novale

 Novale, the Canadian landscape region, is up and ready for summer visitors. The islands have largely retained the form and features we've all come to love, with additions and tweaks both to the decor and the scripts, just as you'd expect.
Dabici Straulino  and Kelso Uxlay  are the imaginative inventors of this wonderland. They reccommend you use 'Shared Environment' which, just in case you don't know, is quickly achieved by clicking on the 'Quick Preferences' button at the bottom ov the viewer, and then clicking on the X next to Personal Lighting - that will remove any custom settings that may still be hanging around your sky. It's always interesting to see in what light the builder intended their world to be seen.
Just outside the familiar landing point with its big tent and orientation tools, you'll find the big old bell to ring, summoning an 11 seater boat that takes you on a tour of the whole region.  
Riding with pirates past the pirate ship - it's brilliant!
Novale is a grid with a long history, consistently changing seasons to mirror the real world where its owners reside. But just as in nature, so in the virtual Canadian wilderness, there is a constant ebb and flow of change.
Here's something novel, perhaps - a geyser on the mountain near the Observatory.  Steamy! The shooting stars are a nice touch too. 
Boats abound, and corners for photography, opportunities to surf, sit under the waterfalls, enjoy the varied architecture, kayak, trek along the inland paths, with all their sounds and summer colors. 
The fishing area has touches of historical references to the Canadian fisheries over the centuries - plus the opportunity to catch your dinner.
And everywhere cute buildings, some you'll remember, some that are a nice novelty - this sauna in a barrel is a very nice seaside touch.
Thirsty work, exploring - luckily they've got that covered too.
