Wow, I ended up clicking on every link and visiting every site you have in this post. Let me tell you, the things I read and the pictures I saw were all worth checking out. I especially enjoyed the Patterns in Nature photos, the first one was particularly awesome. I found the rainforest article and pictures pretty interesting, too, and I enjoyed the piece on Green Architecture because some friends of mine (who did have a house built) were aiming to achieve "as green as possible". Oh, and I have to add this last thing...Gaudi is often considered gawdy, but I love seeing that "stuff". Out of all the pictures I saw, The Colònia Güell Crypt was the one that I liked best because it totally amazes me.
Thanks for sharing all of this. It makes finding things to share much more fun!
