Reflecting on nature

Photobucket
From the makers of Wonder Woman's Invisible Jet....welcome to Sweden's Tree Hotel:

The hotel, which opens this month, is made of tree house units, each with a different theme and most designed by a different architect. The rooms vary between 15 and 30 square meters in size and 4 to 6 meters from the ground, and have either two or four beds each

Above is the "Mirrorcube" unit—designed to reflect its surroundings, but the glass has an infrared film, invisible to humans, that will prevent birds from flying into it.

It's a pretty cool idea and the MirrorCube is just one of the unique designs. Here are a couple others that are currently available:

The Bird's Nest Unit

The Cabin Unit

The Cone Unit

And, my favorite...the UFO Unit.

If that one comes with a "Lost in Space" robot that shouts "Danger, Will Robinson!" if someone tries to break in...

I'm in.

Here is the Treehotel's Web site if you'd like to book a room for me.

Christmas IS gonna be here before you know it...
