Hard to tell where these bottles are... In Cap-Egmont (PEI, Canada), an old man decided to do his part to recycling. He collected over 25,000 emptied bottles and used them to make... three houses! This shot is from the inside of one of the houses. Its a part of a wall. When illuminated by the sun, you have a kaleidoscope of colors inside... but it is also very hot! He made differents patterns with the bottles, very artistic. One of the house is a replica of a church. The old man is dead now, but his houses still remains and are now a tourist attraction.

Photo prise à Cap-Egmont, (IPE, Canada). Un homme y a utilisé 25,000 bouteilles vides pour faire... trois maisons! Cette photo est prise de l'intérieur d'une des maisons, et représente une partie d'un mur. Lorsqu'éclairée par le soleil, on y retrouve un kaleidoscope de couleurs... mais il y fait aussi très chaud! Un des maisons est une réplique d'une église. Bien que l'homme soit décédé maintenant, ses trois créations demeurent et sont maintenant une attraction touristique.

Very interesting image and story. I really like the light coming through the bottles as well as the colours that are well balanced. It would be interesting to see a picture of the house from the outside.

Great pic, the photos from the outside are really just quite amazing as well!

I love this shot! So original, so colourful, excellent play with light and forms.
Well captured, composed and cropped.
Just excellent.
Great note too, I could never guess this wass a "wall" in a tree house :)

Nice shot! I wish I had a picture that hangs on my wall of my sitting room.

Interesting.

good idea.
