The World's Smallest City?

This is Stan Munro,




and this is his city...

Well at least one of them. The image above is of Toothpick City. As the name implies it's a city made out of toothpicks, a lot of toothpicks. This is the first of Stan's toothpick city creations as he is currently working on Toothpick city II which he hopes will become the largest city made of toothpicks in the world. Now some of the buildings in the picture above may look familiar and they should as all of his creations are scale models of real famous buildings around the world.

Now to me making buildings out of toothpicks, to scale and still looking there real life counterparts is already saying a lot but Stan Munro is also purposing an interesting idea (whether he realizes or not). By putting these recognizable things together from all around the world together in one "city" it could be giving off the message of world corporations or at least tolerance of each other. In addition to that, like in my last post, he's getting recognized for something he loves to do and really it'd be very hard not to like that.
