Today, I went to see the Imagine Peace exhibit in SL. After a short presentation in the Welcome Center, I went to the actual site of the tower. There I met a few others waiting to see the tower light up. It lights up at the region's time, so be sure to have your environment set to the region default. It's pretty amazing as you can see from the picture. The base begins to glow slowly before the rays of light start to shoot up about 500 meter. The message is one of Peace and Love. All my SL friends should stop by for a short visit. Here is the SLURL.
