Climbing


This is the design for the tree house I always used to want as a child, in a very large tree at the top of the garden (which my parents eventually had cut down, diminishing my tree house ambition considerably).

True, the climbing up would have been tough going - however, I feel it would have been worth it for the water flume ride on the way down.

You can click the image to see essential details at a larger size (such as the hat-wearing bird who would have also made the tree his home).

LOVE that! I love the light coming out of it and the little tiny preview of the hands in the bottom corner. And the perspective. Love it all!
