Tree house of the day 2

This was built by a man named Horace Burgess as an anniversary present for his wife. It took him 15 years. A very good way to a woman's heart in my opinion. And it is a particular favourite of mine due to Tbilisi style balconies! Sigh...

Designed by blue forest

Castles of rock and sand - today I want to live here...

And then after lunch I would swim over to the beach and build this:

I keep getting loads of views of this so I hate to be a spoil sport but I do believe the first photo is not a real place... Though I think imaginary places can be just as amazing so it never bothered me...

Ukrainian Floating Barn

Spider web tree clouds

Some of the most amazing photos I've seen for a while (courtesy of Russell Watkins - more can be seen on the National Geographic website).

I guess this is my dreamy post-Halloween contribution...
