Lego - This is the world's most popular constructor, with the help of which, as it is believed, you can create literally anything you want. For example, a forest in real size. And how surprised the inhabitants of a small Australian town were when, in just one night, on the outskirts of their native village, they really "grew up" LEGO forest!
LEGO is a versatile material for the modern sculptor. With it, you can create a zoo with animals in it, illustrate the "Divine Comedy" or even make a toy copy of New York.
But the object, which appeared the other day in Australia, can be safely called one of the largest LEGO objects in the history of this constructor!
Residents of the small Australian town of Broken Hill, located in New South Wales, were very discouraged when one day they discovered a new pine forest that appeared on the outskirts of the village literally overnight.
Of course, no miracle happened! This forest was man-made - it consisted of fifteen full-size pine trees, created from elements of the LEGO set.
The creation of this unusual object is timed to coincide with the fiftieth anniversary of the opening of the LEGO branch in Australia. And the artificial forest in Broken Hill is just one of the many extraordinary LEGO objects that have appeared as part of the festive events.
Of course, the LEGO forest in Broken Hill will not grow, the pine trees in it will not become giants. But they will not be cut down, they are not afraid of hurricanes and pests! An excellent object for walking city residents and guests of this Australian settlement.
