Landscaping experiments II

In one of our side yards I have an ongoing series called "Famous Buildings of the World". These are various minature mock-ups of edifices such as the Eiffel Tower, Stonehenge, Mesa Verde, the Dome of the Rock, Big Ben, etc. I almost put this post in my art blog, but my mother asked me to show people only my best art. Many are laughable, but that is the point of the exercise. Over twenty years or so some were destroyed by storms and others attacked by squirrels. To be honest, Big Ben kind of collapsed on its own. I sporadically add monuments when the spirit moves me.The Taj Mahal and Statue of Liberty are currently under construction in the basement. Below are a photo of my godson Balduin assisting me many years ago and a shot from another period in the series.
