Beautiful Tree Igloo

This is an amazing tree ‘house’ we happened to see while sightseeing Newport. **** Photos and Blog copyrighted by : Goldendog http://goldenoollig.wordpresscom © August 2007 **** The tree shown in the first photo below is not a single tree but a clump of five trees of the Weeping European Beech species. They have grown to form a tree house or igloo. Within the drooping branches of the trees is a lovely cave of around 800 sq feet (a compact apartment ) which has the green branches of the trees for walls and the trunks as pillars for support.

For the remaining photos, just turn the laptop sideways and imagine that they r being viewed in panoramic mode as if one would be inside the tree igloo! **** Photos and Blog copyrighted by : Goldendog http://goldenoollig.com © August 2007 ****

Sadly enough, there is a lot of graffiti on the trees, left by some thoughtless people.

To still get an idea of how this tree house looks like from inside :
