Moscow Panorama Pretty good I reckon. Anyone seen this?

Wow. It reminds me of the "Hobbit house" in that working with things that small would drive my mind squirrel to batshit assplosion.

But kudos to them.

Well, must say I admire the patience of whoever made this.

The electric lights are a very nice touch.

Reminds me of Madurodam. More such miniature parks at the international Association of Miniature Parks.

small things -- do they
make me feel like I'm a giant
possibly in control
by sheer virtue of over-size?

oh to be able to wander
through unseen intricacies
of the palace, the picture galleries
enclosed within ornate facades
reading small text in the library
where all the secrets are kept
chained to the tables, maybe
visit the sub-basement and the undercellars
or peer out of the cockloft
at the mite-y scurrying on pavement below

*enters cockloft into lexicon - sans definition*

Thought I'd run across it recently in Captain Gross's fascinating Dictionary here, but if so, it's cunningly buried, glammajamma.

Anyway, cock loft comes from having or hearing hearing birds on the roof, as in pigeon fancying - so means the high garret or under-roof part of a building, with only a layer of shingles between you and the outside, as opposed to an attic which may be all or partially enclosed with interior wallboard, floors, ceilings etc.

Whaddya say we all chip in and buy it? $380,000, ~5,500 monkeys...
