eat your heart out christo


The owners of the house next door got tired of their termites.
I've never seen them do this on the mainland but here they wrap a house up in bright rubbery cloth before they put poison inside.
Now I know that it's not really a festive occasion, but something about how a house looks all wrapped up makes everything seem really fun... like a circus party or a jack in the box.


I always loved Christo's wrappings, more the trees than that one gates project.
so dreamy right? they kind of remind me of spider egg sacs though. speaking of cocoons...

I've never seen a house done like that in person but I've seen it on TV and in movies and always wondered why they made the tarps so circusy. Those are really interesting trees. Was it an art project or something?

yeah they do that here too, on way huger houses than that... so cool looking... took me a while to figure out what was going on. anyway, they must only celebrate these things in tropical climates...
