Got a few minutes to spare and a yearning for beauty? The Architecture sim is a good place to start, as there is almost always a sweet surprise waiting to be discovered there.
Take this feather-light "concept build," (teleport directly from here) by Designer Dingson: rez: 11/17/2006 (aka Lester Clark), a British architect whose Real Life company, PRP, won the Architectural Practice of the Year building award in the UK.

It's also a good place to try out new Windlight presets. Oh, wait! It's not called Windlight anymore... now: RC2 for Release Candidate 2. 
Designer Dingson is probably best known in Second Life for recreating the Farnsworth House (teleport directly from here) by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, a monumentally important architect and style-setter of the 20th century. 
In fact, Steve Rose, a columnist for the British newspaper, the Guardian, discussed the recreation in an interesting July, 2007 article that - bless him - embraces the NPIRL opportunities that virtual worlds make possible.
