architecture: office treehouse in germany

okay, so maybe it's not a "real" treehouse, in the sense that the tree is an integral part of the structure, but this ridiculously awesome office is a treehouse in every other sense ... i mean, it's a building in the trees!!  as inspiring a location as this is, i wonder how anyone could get work done when near such beauty; i think i would just stare out the window & watch the birds all day.

Summer in Prague

I was sorting out some of my photos today & came across the ones from my 21st birthday trip to Prague this summer. Everytime I look at the photo, I feel I'm under the gorgeous warm sunshine! Prague was so beautiful as well, it's full of history & I was sure you can count the number of modern buildings in centre Prague.

My photography skills are very average but hopefully you can see the beauty of the city through these photos.

One of the many spectacular churches in Prague, this one is probably my favorite, love the almost all white interiors!

I love seeing wild life in the city & couldn't resist taking this photo of swan mum with baby, just so adorable!
