Linerberry from Sumner, Christchurch, New ZealandHehehehe hahaha that is hilarious!!! Need a hair cit for sure!!! hahaha Great work for Silly Tuesday!~!! The Billies rule!!! 19 May 2009 5:55am @Linerberry: Green is hope! :) @Nicolas: You bet! :D MrsAmber from West Wickham, United KingdomI think it needs a shave for sure! Great picture! 19 May 2009 8:45am @MrsAmber: Last means of escape: the roof. MaryB from Staffordshire, United KingdomWow! That house wants to be a tree, what a great find. 19 May 2009 10:54am @MaryB: I think it's alive! @Sarito: Glad you like it, Sarito! PD from Overland Park, Kansas, United StatesWow - I wonder if that helps with insulation? Good one 19 May 2009 12:29pm @PD: That sempervivum hint was no fun - this would really work. If layers of vine will keep the warmth... I'm not so sure. :-) Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, FranceI love how the vegetation invades the house... lovely find. 19 May 2009 12:32pm @Evelyne Dubos: I think this is one of the most overgrown (inhabited) buildings I know about. :-) JoeB from Brampton, CanadaTalk about a green environmental green home, the forest comes to the city. 19 May 2009 12:43pm @JoeB: The forest _becomes_ the city. :-) @WABIKOJA: This one is indeed spectacular, not so common (just to prevent from false impressions :-) Steven from Chicagoland, United StatesOh my gosh! I love this shot! It looks like there are quite a few windows that have been "grown over." The residents must like their privacy. 19 May 2009 3:01pm @Steven: The only problem I see here are these little crawling guests that will come immediately when you open the window. P J W Miller from Chase Terrace, United Kingdomyep that is so green, I think it needs shearing 19 May 2009 6:20pm @P J W Miller: I'm afraid it would look awful without the leaves. There must be a reason for this. observing from North West, United KingdomThey must love their plants; no need for a blanket or duvee just sleep under the Ivy. 19 May 2009 6:49pm @observing: This front yard is quite spectacular! :-) @Veronelle: "How's the weather, darling?" Jen from Alpharetta, United StatesGreat home but how do they keep the whole thing from dissapearing in the ivy? 20 May 2009 1:13am @Jen: I think they don't! :-D Bookfool from Mississippi, United StatesYes, unfortunately, that's about what my house looks like at the moment. It's funny if you don't live in the jungle, but not so funny if you have to fight your way through it. ;) 20 May 2009 2:59am @Bookfool: Here's a little secret: our balcony is very similar to that front yard! :-) dkc from Xanthi, Greecewow...great for "less is more" concept advertisement!!!great shot! 20 May 2009 10:17am @dkc: Perhaps their house looks so ugly that it's best to cover it with plenty of green. :-D dj.tigersprout from New York City, United Stateswow!! just amazing!! love this!! i wish my house was covered like this too!! 20 May 2009 2:54pm @dj.tigersprout: That's easy: you're starting with a tiny twine and place it at the wall. Then wait. Twelvebit from Victoria, United StatesLooks cool, but I don't think it's good for the facade --a maintenance nightmare. 20 May 2009 11:03pm @Twelvebit: Oh yes, remnants of roots and rhizomes will last for decades! |
