The Tree Church

Barry Cox runs a business in New Zealand called Treelocations that specializes in transplanting and moving trees. He also has a beautiful three-acre sculpted garden. The crowning glory of the garden is the Tree Church, a chapel made of living, growing trees! The trees used are:

    Alnus Imperialis – Cut Leaf Alder  (Roof Canopy)
    Leptospernum – Copper Sheen. (Walls)
    Camelia Black Tie
    Acer Globosum
    Thuja Pyramidalis

The church and grounds are open for tours (during the summer), and available to rent to weddings and other special events. See more pictures of the church at Colossal. -via Everlasting Blort

The JFK assassination has an obvious, partial solution. It involves not Lee Harvey Oswald, but the mob and the John Birch Society -- who are connected through Clint Murchison, J. Edgar Hoover, and the CIA. For the details see my webpage at:

In 1963, no one lining the parade route was using a 'video camera'. They used 8mm and possibly 16mm film camera to shoot movies. The video camera wouldn't come into common usage outside a studio setting for another 15 years.

I call BS on the Marfa lights. It's a fascinating phenomena, and I wouldn't blame Texas for building a viewing area. But Fata Morgana inversion layer mirages (a superior mirage type) are easily replicated and fairly easily tested, and even though there are some reports of lights that wouldn't follow that kind of phenomena, there are no credible photos or videos of non-compliant visages.

Anyway, the SPS from UTexas did a lot of work on this a couple years back, and some of it is published here:

It explains well why they can't be seen close-up. Personally, I'd love to see them if I were in the area...meteorological phenomena are awesome!
