Small Bizarres No. 109 - 'Frozen Shadow' Installation, Brooklyn...

Came across an interesting pavement installation/ relief whilst walking in Reed Hook, Brooklyn. Here the shadow of an adjacent tree has been cast as a relief into the pavement, freezing a moment in time in the trees as well as the neighborhood's development. As both the tree and neighborhood develops the contrast between what was and then is will gradually increase... Reminisce galore...
Good times...

The Extraordinary Ordinary - Tokyo's Criss-crossing Phone Lines...
Criss-crossing across streets and alleyways, like veins or streamers, these Gordian knot like cablings provide a unifying link and connection between the city's disparate neighborhoods...

Small Bizarres No. 35 - Lawn Carpet at EC, Doha...
This topic has already been referred to an covered in related posts (see links here & here), but, as it is, I still find this a quite remarkable Small Bizarre. Wether it is classified as landscaping, pseudo-botany, urbanism (as it covers quite substantial areas within EC), or even furniture (carpeting) can be left to the opinion of the beholder, but there's something strangely seductive about this quasi-real lawn, that climbs, transcends, crosses and covers a number of urban paraphernalia within the confines of our campus...
Perhaps it should be red, neon yellow, or some other bright or distinct color or pattern. Maybe it should be acknowledging its inherent 'fakeness', and be celebrating such properties without losing any of its tactile or functional intentions...
Small Bizarre indeed...
