Yeah, it is quite impressive. There are some really unique fields like that in other countries as well:

And even better when it’s raining.
It always inspires me to go out on my porch and see the rain and everything nice and green from the rain.

Rain is awesome.

Unusual Houses & Buildings

I think what he was getting at is that no matter the glitz or glamour of a house or other physical structure, people are still flawed creatures inside. And even though some get to live in these fancy type places, there's still something within them that screams for more than what they have. (or less in some cases of what they already do have). yes, random comment indeed. postworthy for another thread? maybe. but not to derail anymore. here are some places of the poor. and CRIBS! anyone remember that old MTV show. my favorite parts in those episodes were usually "where the magic happened at". Lol

Maybe...it just seemed like he was trolling, regarding that post I made about the locale in China.
We get enough of that in the other topics, lol.

This pianist inspired me to want to learn the piano. Not this song specifically, but this song is the only one he currently has up online because it was in the album he released from 2012. He used to have website with his music recordings and sheet music of songs he wrote, transposed, and arranged. Some of those recordings that others have done from the sheet music can be found on Youtube. I still have 20 of his songs in my iTunes (11 of them I downloaded from his website over 10 years ago), but I won't upload them because they aren't mine to upload. I am happy that I can enjoy them though.

Awesome architecture, my only weakness.

Those are pretty cool, especially that 2nd staircase.

That's awesome to hear that he inspired you that much. That also gives me an idea on what to post tonight.

Jacob Barnett

Growing up, Jacob Barnett was a child prodigy. He was speaking 4 different languages at the age of 3, started taking college-level classes at 8 (teaching himself all of high school math in two weeks), and became a published physicist at the age of 13. He's been a major inspiration to me over the years, and is one of the reasons I decided to learn computer scripting, among other things. Jacob encourages the development of a personalized learning style - instead of just accepting what we're taught - which with practice, can enable a person to learn practically anything.

The Lego House - Billund, Denmark

"Measuring 12,000 square metres, the impressive building is constructed from 21 interlocking blocks, and features a large keystone sitting at the very top that has been designed to the exact proportions and style of a 2 x 4 LEGO brick. The facade is covered with clay tiles to give the illusion that the building is made completely of LEGO bricks, while the site features a large store, three different restaurants, conference facilities and a 2,000-square-metre space open to the public in the outer area. A section dedicated to the history behind the company is located in the basement, while a Masterpiece Gallery with fan creations is at the top of the store.

Inside the building, different experience zones are arranged according to colour, with each one representing a certain aspect of a child’s learning. The red zone is creative, blue is cognitive, green is social and yellow is emotional, and each area consists of a number of individual activities and attractions to engage visitors."
