Photographer and Star Wars fan Daniel Sands cleverly recreated iconic scenes from the movie with LEGO and homemade special effects:
"I want it to be simple with no fancy studio. The first ones I did I used an upturned pizza box on my tumble dryer, used a bike light for lighting and some baking powder to resemble snow,” Sands says about his ongoing project, trying to show everyone that photographers don't need expensive equipment to snap high-quality pictures.

Now this is the ultimate escape from city life!
Homeowner Rosie sold her home in the city and moved to an off-the-grid house built from five interconnected shipping containers in the middle of a forested preserve in the coast of New Zealand. As such, the house is equipped with solar panels, rainwater collection system and even vermi-composting toilets.
All worth it for being able to live in such an amazingly lush forest!

Paul Rantham's company specializes in turning shipping containers into offices and bathrooms. One day in 2016, while on a trip to Palm Springs, he got an idea of turning shipping containers into swimming pools, and thus Modpools was born.
During the lockdown period last year, Rantham's company saw a huge increase in demand as people couldn't travel and decided to put in swimming pools in their backyard instead.
