I love the second one. I wanna see the inside. Do you know where it is? If I could live in a place like that and have internet, I'd be set for life.

As for the rating system.. I think the first one is by far the creepiest. I could easily imagine a dead body and blood everywhere in that first image. It's really just asking to be the opening crime scene of some "artistic" psycho on Criminal Minds or something. That, or someone just hanging from the center light fixture(?).

A good traditional folk tale style murder spot. 9/10.

I don't find this one creepy at all. It's adorable! I seriously, no joke, want to live in a building like that.

It's located in the Bosnian woods.
"A magical cabin converted from a watermill by a Serbian painter whose father owned and operated minimills along this Bosnian river.”

Can't find a picture of the inside :c

Also there's an official cabin porn website apparently: Cabin Porn

No you're right, it is adorable; I would kill to be able to live there. I can't think of a more ideal Chio dwelling.

Of Chiomara's cabins, I really like the third one - the minimalist black one with corrugated cladding and steep roofs, but this one is nice too:-

^ This must be your Scandanavian roots calling out to you, MicShazam, because it looks so much like these "stave churches", from the earliest days of Christianity in Norway:-

I don't know about that, since we don't have churches like that in Denmark, but they do look amazing! Our churches, on average, look like this:

The white walls, red tiled roof and stairstep gables on the tower are very typical. Quite a boring design, especially compared to the Norwegian churches above. At least they don't burn as easy.

Lisnaholic 01-28-2018 07:33 AM

oooh! "stairstep gables"! This is impressive vocabulary, MicShazam ;)

It looks to me like a really nice church, but you're right, it's relatively simple and un-adorned, and as with all designs, if you see too many similar ones, too often, they become boring.

(Also your photo makes the church look particularly good; the sky has a darker tone than the building, which is always the best lighting arrangement for a bit of building porn.)

I had to to google how to translate "gavl", which is the end walls up near the roof. I'm not even sure gable is the right term :laughing:

Danish churches looking boring is perhaps only fair to say when compared with the impressive old churches found all over other European nations. Old Danish churches were relatively utilitarian and modest in design.

Lisnaholic 01-28-2018 08:32 AM

No, you're absolutely correct with "stairstep gable"!

Yes, Europe has some very inspiring old churches, but while still in the far frozen north of places like Denmark, I thought I'd post this famous modern church from Reykjavik, Iceland:-

That's an interesting design. Almost everything in the design seems conceived as an upright standing pole. Also kind of looks like a 50's b-movie rocket.
