When I first read about Dryland, I didn't expect to find what I did. I was told it was a desert, dry, no water, rusted ship remains, and so forth. It was interesting to stumble upon a sand figure of a pregnant clown, and other Carnie fun. I ended up having a lot of fun exploring. Nothing tops being reborn from a sand clown. It's also where I met a new friend, Oblee. (I'll have to talk more about him, and his live music venues another time!) This place holds a few surprises, and the art gallery is unique as well. Visit, and let us know what you think!
From the Artist of Dryland, [Anita Witt (aniwitt)]:
A giant dried out lake, a parched and barren lake bed with hulks of old rusted ships, now resting on the dried cracked mud. A once desert island with decayed warehouse buildings which now holds a gallery. The surrounding landscape slowly being occupied by gypsies, carnies and tradespeople. This is Dryland, the new sim design by Anita Witt.
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.

PLEASE NOTE: For the best possible visual experience of the sim, enable Lighting & Shadows and set draw distance at 500 meters or more.
