England's Lake District sent my heart a-flutter

A little side-note: the Lake District was the inspiration for J.R.R. Tolkien's Shire in the Lord of the Ring books. Awesomeness inspires awesomeness, yes?

The Buttermere Lake, Cambria

Are you afraid of heights? The The Faroe Islands' Lake Sørvágsvatn, or Leitisvatn is not that deep anyway.

According to the BBC, this is the work of clever camera angle and the lake itself is barely 30ft deep. Whew.

Beautiful nonetheless!

The Krzywy Domek is what happens when your imagination is enabled.

This 4000 square ft hypnotic building was inspired by “the fairy tale illustrations of [prolific children’s book illustrator] Jan Marcin Szancer and the work of artist Per Dahlberg.”
