(I know, "no trees were harmed in the making of this playhouse" ... right ? :-)
At Wat Samphran (วัด สามพราน) in Nakhon Pathom Province there is a 17 story
building that has a giant dragon climbing to the roof. The head is at the top where
there is a shrine and the tail is on the ground floor. The dragon is hollow and it is
possible to walk up some sections of it
This house was designed by Rudy Ricciotti. The unique architecture includes a
pool house, which is like a window in the living room where you can enjoy not
only swimming in the water, but the person swimming in it with the effect of the
outdoor landscape which is reflected through the window.

The Grand Canyon Skywalk (I was on this)
The Grand Canyon Skywalk is a transparent horseshoe-shaped cantilever bridge
and tourist attraction in Arizona near the Colorado River on the edge of a side
canyon in the Grand Canyon West area of the main canyon. USGS topographic
maps show the elevation at the Skywalk's location as 4,770 ft (1,450 m) and the
elevation of the Colorado River in the base of the canyon as 1,160 ft (350 m), and
they show that the height of the precisely vertical drop directly under the skywalk
is between 500 ft (150 m) and 800 ft (240 m).
Commissioned and owned by the Hualapai Indian tribe, it was unveiled March 20,
2007, and opened to the general public on March 28, 2007. It is accessed via the
Grand Canyon West Airport terminal or a 120-mile (190 km) drive from Las Vegas ,
which includes a 10-mile (16 km) stretch of dirt road which is currently under
development. The Skywalk is east of Meadview and north of Peach Springs with
Kingman being the closest major city.
