    i am amazed by ppl's creativeness..

  13. OK, no one else asked, so I will. Is it supposed to be mushrooms? or butterflies on sticks? I think it's funny how everyone called it "the thing". lol. It's beautifully strange, rather makes one feel like Alice in Wonderland walking under it, I suppose. I like how it's so curvy and next to those straight towers next to it. I also like how you included the man for scale. Nice!
