Here's another image from the Telegraph Online. They describe it this way:

Photo of Interest: Cliff House

"Cliff House," by Modscape of Australia
Here's another image from the Telegraph Online. They describe it this way: 
"Anyone wanting to live on the edge need look no further - architects have designed a cliff house. The five storey modular home is inspired by the way barnacles cling to the hull of a ship, and was developed to hang off the side of a cliff as opposed to sitting on top of it. Australian design company Modscape say the design, aptly entitled Cliff House, is a theoretical response to clients who have approached them to 'explore design options for extreme parcels of coastal land in Australia'. A spokesman says: 'The home is visualised as a natural extension of the cliff face rather than an addition to the landscape, creating an absolute connection with the ocean.'"

You know the view has got to be spectacular.

A New Saturday Serial: Photo of Interest

The Shard, with Super-Moon
A full September moon passes behind The Shard, a famous skyscraper in London.
I chose this moon image in honor of the just-passed Halloween, and I hope you'll enjoy it. For now, anyway, I'm out of two-sentence horror stories.

For the next several weekends, I'll share a photo I have found, that I think is interesting, funny, or exceptionally beautiful. The Internet being the Internet, sometimes I won't be able to credit the original source, but whenever possible I'll at least try to tell you where I got it. Today I can!
