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.

Steve Locatelli :: Antwerp, Belgium
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.
