French artist adds a little Paris to his garden
Frenchman Gerard Brion has spent the last 15 years re-creating the city of lights in his garden using junk, such as scrap wood, concrete blocks, and tin cans.
And apparently from the picture above, he has a great affection for congested traffic. Looks more like the ‘city of headlights’!
According to the Sun UK, Gerard is 29, which meant he began his hobby at 14 years of age?? Wow. I did see the picture of him on their article, and he looks damn near 45. Also, he probably still lives at home if he began this in his adolescence , but it’s a fun pic of him posing with the Eiffel tower within a terrific accomplishment (Not pictured: Wife, social life, disgruntled parents due to tourists in their yard)
How is this relevant? I’m filing it under “Landscaping”
More pics here at Linternaute, and a short article, but great slideshow at The Sun UK. (And yes, I do believe that is a spider-man action figure atop the Eiffel Tower on the main pic at The Sun article)
