A stork sits with its young in their nest at the top of a chimney in Jablonne v Podjestedi. According to city records, the nest dates from 1864 and is likely to be the oldest in the Czech Republic. Picture: EPA. Telegraph UK.

I was already in a great post-birthday weekend mood, but this little piece of feathered history just put me over the top. Pun totally intended.

The photos of this work in progress by graffiti artist Locatelli are amazing. If you’re also a fan of old school hand painted street murals [done by an increasingly rare breed, who are sadly being replaced by digitally printed vinyl], I highly recommend the short and sweet UP THERE, shot in NYC. You’ll love it.

Oh, hello Summer Soundtrack of 2010. I’ve got a new addition for you. I might even make some room for the official Jay-Z remix. Shocking, I know.

Meyers Pediatric Hospital in Florence, Italy

Oh WOW. “The upper atrium features a play area that opens to the green roof to allow the children to remain connected to the outdoors. 47 ‘Pinocchio Hats’ dot the roof — these are actually solar tubes that feed natural light into the building.”
Check out my Green A Roof, Cool A City post for some good resources on green roofing and photos of Toronto City Hall’s fantastic new green roof addition.
