DRYLAND

DRYLAND

@Mado


Dryland is an awesome Sim that's been around for a while but it is
sadly closing very soon, so when i saw that Anita Witt, the owner
hadchanged it and posted that for one more week we could visit
i jumped here as soon as i could.

"Dryland was Inspired by the man-made disaster that is the giant
dried out Aral Sea in Kazakhstan/Uzbekistan.
Once the fourth largest lake in the world. Now reduced to a 
pale heavily polluted shadow of its former self, by thoughtless 
and ineffective irrigation projects in the surrounding areas, 
effectively cutting off all major water sources."


Today Dryland is no longer dry lol, the buildings are still there 
but they are now abandoned, empty and quiet, all the beautiful art
that once made them bright and busy gone.
The space that was once filled with cracked dry mud, gypsy 
trailers and tradespeople, is now a flood of water, with a dark
gloomy almost eerie feeling, and has the look of a desolate
graveyard home to oil tankers,grain haulers and the likes.
 
I felt sadness as I was taking these last photos of a grand old sim.

So as i stand here and pay my last respects to a wonderful Sim 
that is slowly sinking into the ocean i sincerely hope this is not 
the last we have seen of Anita Witt.
