Title: Under Wraps
Post by: Summicron on February 27, 2010, 04:59:59 PM
Recently Bolton town hall went under some renovation work, at the height of it (don't you get it  ;D) the clock tower was completely shrouded in plastic, and of an evening it was transformed into this pink pagoda, it looked enormous, almost skyscraping proportions.

Michael the way you see the world is absolutely incredible!  I would have walked by this and never give it a second thought....you on the other hand have created a picture that is intriguing.

I wonder how much plastic they used?

Wow, they certainly didn't let an inch of that tower show.

When I went to Italy St. Peters Basilica was covered in scaffolding ... I was pretty upset about that.  Then I went inside the amazing building and quickly forgot all about it.  It truly was amazing and second only to the Sistine Chapel in jaw dropping awe.

Genius is seeing the wonder in things other people pass by.

I think Nobel physicist Richard Feynmann said that.   I agree.
