Tree Mansion

Tree Mansion

 The world's tallest treehouse, located in Crossville, Tennessee, makes the Swiss Family Robinsons look like a bunch of amateurs - but that might be because it was commissioned by God.The 1960 Disney film about a family shipwrecked on an island, features an impressive treehouse complete with its own water mill.But the Robinson's home pales in significance next to this structure, which took builder Horace Burgess 11 years to build.

Horace, who lives in the 10 story wooden house, said he begun the build in 1993 after he received a vision from God, who said he would never run out of mterials if he buialt it.The enormous treehouse is a whopping 10,000 square feet but only cost Horace a reasonable $12,000 thanks to his thrifty use of recycled materials.Inside there are spiral staircases, a sanctuary, a choir loft, a basketball court, and countless rooms, walkways and balconies. 

These photos were taken by photographer Tom Whetton, 63, on March 15, this year.He said: 'The treehouse is incredibly impressive.'You can't really appreciate the scale until you are standing next to it but it is absolutely huge.'I was told that the whole thing is supported by just six trees and that Horace used 258,000 nails to put everything together.'This house is every kids dream. Even I wanted to go inside and explore.'

Tokyo Sky Tree: the tallest tower in the world

Tokyo Sky Tree: the tallest tower in the world

Tourist bosses in the country hope the Tokyo Sky Tree will prove a draw for foreign visitors, whose numbers plummeted in the aftermath of the quake and tsunami disaster last year and the nuclear crisis it sparked. The Tokyo Sky Tree tops the 600-metre Canton Tower in China's Guangzhou and the 553-metre CN Tower in downtown Toronto.
It is the world's second-tallest manmade structure, beaten only by the 828-metre Burj Khalifa in Dubai. The Tokyo Sky Tree overshadows landmarks in the capital's upscale western parts, including the 333-metre Tokyo Tower, which was built in 1958 and became a byword in Japan for the country's rapid post-war growth.

10 Tallest Trees on the Earth


This is a list of 10 largest trees in the world. The exact locations of 10 tallest trees in the world are secrets, so the pictures available in this post are only illustrations. The trees are not guarded 24/7 and only sealed the information what keep the trees grow higher. 

10. Mendocino – 112.20 m (368.1 ft)

Species: Sequoia sempervirens

Location: Montgomery Woods, California, USA

Diameter: 4,19 m (13,7 ft)

Between December 1996 and August 2000, the tallest tree in Montgomery Woods, named the Mendocino Tree, was the world's tallest known tree. It was displaced by the discovery of a number of taller trees in Humboldt Redwoods State Park and later Redwood National Park in Humboldt County. The tree is one of dozens of similar height in the grove, and was never specifically marked in order to protect the tree. Earlier well-publicized candidates for the world's tallest tree suffered damage from stresses resulting from crowds of tourists.
