Age of Aquarius - Entry for MsRedNotDead contest on the future

This is my entry for MsRed’s contest about the future. This song spoke to me since my hope for the future is for all nations to live in harmony and understanding. Where all life is respected, there are no prejudices, and love, compassion and generosity conquer all despair.

The Age of Aquarius is thought by some to be the upcoming astrological age of mental enlightenment. Aquarius is symbolized by the Water Bearer (visionary, wants to make the world a better place).

I learned during this contest to create my own wall murals, use the fog emitter animations and lighting to bring my ideas to life. The backdrop for this story is the awesome ‘Elven Central Park’ by Murfeel which I converted to a regular lot. I had great fun creating this entry and do hope you like my interpretation :-)

-----------------
AGE OF AQUARIUS

When the moon is in the seventh house



and Jupiter aligns with Mars



Then peace will guide the planets



and love will steer the stars.



This is the dawning of the



age of Aquarius, the age of Aquarius



Aquarius, Aquarius



Harmony and understanding



Sympathy and trust abounding



No more falsehoods or derisions



Golden living dreams of visions



Mystic crystal revelation



and the minds true liberation



Aquarius, Aquarius



When the moon is in the seventh house



and Jupiter aligns with Mars



Then peace will guide the planets



And love will steer the stars



This is the dawning of the



age of Aquarius, the age of Aquarius



Aquarius, Aquarius

 

  • how did you make the mural?

    do you have link for a tutorial... and a link for the lot...
  • Thanks so much Annette. Creating the murals was surprising very easy using the TSR workshop. Just remember to start a new project for each piece of the mural... you don't have to exit the program - just save the project file when prompted. I tried getting around this and learnt the hard way, lol.

    Tutorial link...

    Have fun :-)
  • Yeah, a pity. Wish they had this functionality. The good thing is that you create it yourself so you know it's safe :-)
  • WOW absolutely fantastic!! Beautiful pictures, and amazing models. The lot you have there in amazing, did you make it, or download it? It's stunning.

    Also curious: which expansion do the wheelchairs come with??:o

    Great pictures and great song! Well done and good luck for the contest :)

  • Thanks very much YellowJane. The lot (Elven Central Park) is by Murfeel. I changed it to a regular lot for this contest. You can download the original at TSR...
