The Hemloft. A Wonderful Tiny Secret Treehouse...

Or is it an aesthetically modified egg that's hanging on a tree hidden away somewhere near Whistler in Canada's British Columbia.
Enjoy the images of Joel's tree house here and when time allows, visit here and read about him at your leisure.
Joel Allen's story is entertaining and inspiring.
It involves his dad who imbued him with examples of ingenuity, self belief and willpower.
Then there's John, an old man he met in 2008, an enigmatic quintessential hippie with a long white beard who's really Gandoff from Lord of The Rings. He's become Joel's mentor.
And of course there's a girl...

You Could Be A Guest In A Tiny Gypsy Caravan...

Tiny House Swoon featured this beautiful Gypsy Caravan in a most gorgeous setting recently.
It's used as guest accommodation in Hoarwithy in England.
Steve Butler took the photos.
It's in marked contrast to the caravan featured here yesterday.

An Ovation For The Opera?

The Opera is a mixture of Moroccan Tent meeting the ubiquitous Pop-Up Camping Trailer.
With direction coming from the Netherlands based company 'Your Suite In Nature', the production is based on the design of the Sydney Opera House.
From looking like a nondescript car trailer, the Opera transforms through Acts One to Five into an elegant swan-like structure.
The question is, do the two elements make beautiful music together?
Is it truly an affair of the heart?
It might look good on opening night
but will it go the distance?.
You're the critic.
Have a look here at the performance so far and decide whether to give it a standing ovation,

The World's First Edible Cookbook...

The world's first and only cookbook that you actually read, cook and eat.
German Design Agency Korefe,
has created a real cookbook made from one hundred percent fresh pasta.
The book isn't just instructional.
It's an essential ingredient in the recipe for Classic Lasagne.
As you read the pages, each one becomes a layer between the fillings.
Then it's into the oven.
Sure, you're minus a cookbook but you've got
a very delicious meal.
A book with a happy ending...

Stepping Stones...

These footprints in the stones
are Senza Titolo which means 'without title'.
The photographs are by Iain Blake.
I have no knowledge of where the images come from but thank whoever for whatever part they may have played in the idea and making these simply delightful images public...
Thankyou Susanne for the link.
