The unforgettable Torrid Midnight took this image in the Voodoo Shack in Saeya Nyanda's Silent, "a really fantastic place to visit for far more than shopping. It's mostly noir (not film noir) and inspired by New Orleans, you can't help but take photos when you're there," she says. (Direct SLURL teleport to the Silent Shack at this link.) "Inside it is very colorful and even though it should have a creepy feel to it," she says, "I actually find it rather warm and inviting. Odd, eh?" Donning a top hat from Menno Ophelia, she captured her avatar dancing in WindLight, with the slow motion setting in the Debug menu, then enhanced shadows and light in post-production. "Sometimes a photo is better when you capture an avatar during movement," she chuckles, "funny coming from someone who [usually] creates still poses." Of Silent, she says, "Everyone should check out the sim at least once, you're missing out if you don't!" For more proof, she points to a startling Flickr stream devoted to Saeya's land.

- If you come across a picture or image stream that deserves a place
here, please IM (Hamlet Au) or e-mail ([email protected]) me the link. Please e-mail me the image as a file link, or attached as an .jpeg or .gif, as long as it's under a meg in size.
- Submitting as an in-world texture not recommended, as they often come out distorted and not high res.
- Feel free to describe what the image says to you, or if you're the creator, what inspired you to make it.
- Whenever possible, name the
Residents pictured, and include a SLURL to the location (when appropriate.)
-
Moderately Photoshopped
images are OK, just mention if this is the case, and what effects were
added. (On rare occasions when the post-production adds a special
element, heavily Photoshopped images are also appropriate.)

If you submit an image to NWT, it's assumed I have permission to run
it, either as the owner, or because it's been appropriately CC
licensed. The original creator retains all their rights to it, in any
case.
