Sometimes people ask me what there is to see in my area. So I've been sharing pictures of our fields (specially the flowery season) to these people that ask me. Now there are other things to do then fields... but yeah, my area is largely fields. There are some cities where there are activities, but being from a rural area it's just not that exciting to most foreigners as a big city.
But there are some other pictures that always get a "wow" responds. They are the pictures of a little metal church that was build in 2011 by an architect/artist called "Gijs Van Vaerenbergh". So because most people went "wow", I'll share the pictures (wich are not mine) here too. The project was called: "Reading between the lines", and it has gotten a fair amount of media attention and won some prices.
You can find an article/introduction to the little monument over here: https://www.archdaily.com/298693/reading-between-the-lines-gijs-van-vaerenbergh https://www.architectmagazine.com/technology/detail/reading-between-the-lines-for-a-church-made-of-metal_o (I also got most of the pictures from the first article)
... oh yeah. It's in the middle of a field :D

@VioletRayne I'm pretty sure there are people over there that do great things. There is an American on youtube that makes wind-art. Big constructions that create mesmerizing motion when the wind breezes through it.
And this is Theo Jansen (a Belgian Guy) that does something similair then Antony... but he turns wind into mobile moving constructions on the beach.

Just throwing that last in there, but he's not an American. The idea that the United States only has Grafitti... is not really true. There are some really nice things to be discovered. Things beyond the "biggest ball of the twine" 😅
@VioletRayne Don't know where "near you" is of course. America is a huge place. But I'm pretty sure someone is being creative somewhere in your area. You just have to find it, it's not that they get advertised that much. You only learned about this, because I happened to post it here. It's not that this thing is pretty big, I just found it pleasing to the eye and thus made a post about it 😅. It's not the 8th wonder of the world or annything.
