Some awesome pictures here....The big foot picture is crazy...dwl...Check these out...
It all started out with a simple tree trunk…
Then Zheng Chunhui, a famous wood carver, spent over four years creating this masterpiece.
The carving is based on the famous Chinese painting “Along the River During the Qingming Festival.” The original artwork was created over 1,000 years ago.
The piece won the Guinness World Record for the longest wooden carving and measures over 40ft (specifically, it is 12.286 meters long, is 3.075 meters tall at it highest point, and is also 2.401 meters wide).
The intricate carvings of daily life in ancient China are so detailed and perfect, they could drop your jaw.
It’s no surprise that this incredible work of art is drawing so much attention. It’s amazing, but not just because it’s so big, but also because it’s so incredibly detailed.

The live tree was more beautiful, detailed and a natural work of beauty than this grotesque travesty.

AutoWohnhaus in Austria
This crazy car-shaped house in Salzburg, Austria is surprisingly green. Homeowner and architect Markus Voglreiter built the AutoWohnhaus with a “3 liter” energy-efficient heating and insulation building system that drastically reduces energy consumption. Located in a suburban neighborhood, the exterior, which is just for show, is a bit out of place.

Solar Geodesic Dome Cobb House in Norway
People in this glass houses shouldn’t thrown stones or else it will ruin their carefully constructed thermal envelope. This glass geodesic home was built by the Hjertefølger family over a hand-crafted cobb house. The super, low-impact materials are kept warm in the winter under the dome, and natural ventilation keeps things cool even in the summer.

Ellis Island Ferry Houseboat in New York
The last ever Ellis Island Ferry boat was built in 1907 and now serves as an amazing home, studio and showroom for a couple in NYC. After a long and industrious career, the Yankee Ferry now sits on New York Harbor enjoying a quiet retirement. The historic renovation of the ferry into the home included an extensive reuse and refurbishment of some of the ferry’s original features. The owners also have their own garden on site and raise chickens there too.

World's Skinniest House in Poland
The Keret House is the world’s skinniest house and is only 3 feet across at its narrowest point. Built and designed by Polish architect Jakub Szczesny, the thin home fits in a tight alley between two buildings in Warsaw. This narrow, small footprint home makes the most of its tiny space and shows how to maximize land in an urban setting. Originally built as a memorial to the owner’s parents, the skinny house is now being used for the Polish Modern Art Foundation Artist in Residence program.

Converted Water Tower Home in London
One of the best views of London can be seen from this kooky converted water tower home in London. The 80-year old tower was bought by famed designer Tom Dixon and adapted into modernist home. Accessed currently by a long flight of stairs, the home will soon have a “heat exchange” system that will use water from the Grand Union Canal to heat and cool the structure. Best of all, you can rent a room in this amazing house through AirBnB for only $200 a night!

727 Airplane Home in Oregon
This guy must really love to fly, because he wanted to live in an airplane forever! Bruce Campbell bought a Boeing 727-200 and placed it in the woods Oregon to serve as his home. Reusing many of the original parts, pieces and furnishings, Campbell fashioned a 1,066 sq ft home. Translucent panels replace part of the flooring, letting visitors get a glimpse of the structural architecture of the plane. The incredible adaptive reuse project keeps the plane out of the scraps yards and on view as a living museum.

Broken Hill Living desert Reserve... Carved rocks in the Australian Desert.... I liked Broken Hill... it was a union town....ie the unions were responsible for its development.. plus the streets name reflect its history..Bromide Street, oXIDE Street, Sulphide Street ..the sculpture park with artists from all over the world....Mexican, Korean... I spwnt about 6 hours there with she who must be obeyed..seeing the colour changed on the ancient tribute to my cousins gods!
We also went to the Flying doctors place... i took a picture right there with the ball and chain instead of the teddy bear....I dont know if u older folk remember there use to be radio soap operas one at 10 after the RJR news and one at 12 after the news on JBC... Because of my sporadic youthful education I loved to losten to them and they went on about the Royal Flying doctors and the School of the Air...
