This is kind cool. I'd like to visit. Maybe spend the night.

I just noticed as I posted it, that one of those houses is a photoshopped copy of the other. Tree branches are all the same. Less cool now. Damn.

Maybe they painstakingly trim and cut so that the trees and boards and everything are exactly the same.

Anyway, just one of them is still cool. However, I wouldn't want to visit. Can you imagine the spiders that must dwell in those, among other gnarly bugs.

Do you know where it is?

Nope. Just found it on the ol' web. No info. The more I look at it, the more fake it looks. Like a matte painting superimposed on a forest photo.

So it calls for a certain suspension of disbelief.

Kind of like Swiss Family Robinson

Love the brilliant colors. The peacock is still my favorite bird, but this Quetzal comes in a close second.

My son's hair used to stand up like that so we called him Quetzalito (little quetzal bird).

The frame is cast titanium.

Okay...let me get this straight. They *wanted* the rider of this thing to look like he's buggering a skeleton, right?

I found this one at this part of his website, pretty unusual! http://www.oncotton.co.uk/peter/index/index2.html

"Concert for Birds, 2005
25 min. performance in which I sang different bird related songs, read out loud poems, imitated different sounds of birds and fed the birds with bread.

Swan costume, different instruments, floating nest and plastic ducks"

Never quite looked at it that way before.

I was wondering.

Now how can a salesman sell that thing when some burly guy walks up asks the question like you did and trys not to crack up laughing?

Does this classify as a "strap-on"?

The house on the right looks like it's slowly coming down. Will it take the one on the left with it?
