People don't notice things.
I was in a KrispyKreme and noticed that the panel of the lighted sign had backward writing on the box in the picture - as the panel was in backwards.
(no other text on the sign)
I asked if the counter person knew about it.
She was stunned.
She said it had been there for about a year and half and nobody had ever pointed it out.

I would post my own pictures of these crazy houses in Ransom Canyon, Texas, but I can't find them. I'll just put links to the pictures that someone else took. That isn't breaking some unsaid rule is it? I just thought you guys would enjoy them.

does anyone have a shot of the "Sleeper" house near Genessee, Colorado? It sits up on a hill off of .....hmmm, Hiway 6? 285? It was the white,
round space-ship looking house that Woody Allen used in the film Sleeper. I'm not in CO anymore, always wondered what happened to it - if someone's living there.

This was the main house. It's hard to tell because of the tall grass but let me assure you that the home is held up by nothing more than the pole going thru the home and sticking out of the top (it maybe an old tree trunk still in the ground, not sure).

I've heard from people who have met him that this one has 2 floors, electricity, a monitor for heat, a bed, TV, and small kitchen, but no running water or plumbing. He lives in this tree house year round I guess. But all that is hear-say. I've also heard that there's been articles in I think the Anchorage paper about his houses. I say houses because he has a few of these on the property (as seen in the other picture below).



The tree house to the right I have no idea what is use for (as you can see its built around an actual living tree), and the other tree house in the center seems to be a finished green house/solarium. The "house" I showed in the first picture is located just out of this shot to the left about 20 yards. The 3 domes that sit on the ground in front of the solarium have looked the same for several years, unfinished. I have no idea what they're for but I know they're not livable like the other "tree houses".
OMG this house is across the dirt road from my house... weird!!!

This is the "House on the Rock" in Spring Green WI. You can't get a good shot of the whole house because its carved into the landscape.

The bottom two shots is the "infinity room." The inside of the house is pretty cool too, if anyone is in the area you should check it out.

I should state I did not take these pics, since this is the photography forum, I got lost in the thread and forgot the forum, sorry

I take lousy night photos. Sorry.
This gem is in Orlando. I think the roofers were drunk.

Mike I've seen that place before on a brochure, it looks really neat.

It's some type of tourist trap in Florida right?
