Not the Heart of Darkness - New OpenCollar HQ

If you are involved in BDSM in SL, it's very very likely you are familiar with the OpenCollar group.  They are a small group of builders who have set out to make quality scripted collars, cuffs and AOs for the BDSM community.  All open source, all for free.  They do appreciate donations, but the gear is free, and you can pick it up at vendors scattered all over Second Life. 

But they have always had a single HQ or "Temple of the Collar."  It has moved frequently because they don't have the finances to buy a big parcel and keep it.  And the temple gets a lot of traffic.  Well, the latest move has put them in a positively gorgeous adult sim that is setup like an  XXX-rated Indiana Jones river excursion.  It really is a positively gorgeous place.  I explored most of it last night with two friends who've been in my blog before, Prissy and Raph.  And even if you are not into BDSM, you might want to visit the OpenCollar headquarters, head down the ramps into the caves or jungle, and enjoy the sights. And maybe some of the toys they have all over the place as well.

Here's a panorama shot of me standing in front of some ruins.  The waterfalls all around the ruins are very well done.  And if you have on your environmental sounds you'll hear the water roar as you approach.

And here's me looking up river toward the ruins above, along with a shot of Prissy, Raph and I in that same river.

It is an adult region, and I was swimming a lot.  So clothing was optional for this jaunt.  This means you must be an adult to visit.  But if you are, it is well worth your time.  I'll probably go back and get some more snapshots of other places in this sim.  This is only a small part of what you can find there.
