Photo Hunt: Share ANY Photo

This week's Photo Hunt theme is Share ANY Photo.


My contribution to this week's theme is a picture I took when I was out in Carlsbad, California a few years ago.


The picture above is a depiction of a San Francisco city scene, probably the city's famed Marina area, at Legoland's theme park. All structures you see (including the roads) were built out of Lego bricks. The park's truly worth a visit for aside from San Francisco, this park also showcased replicas of other cities around the United States such as Washington D.C., New Orleans, and New York City.

That's an amazing depiction built with legos. At first I didn't even realize that it was a model.

Cool photo, P, I'm sure adults and children alike would enjoy going there. I know I would :)

Have a great Mother's Day weekend :)

Panaderos said...

Paolo,

This park is near San Diego, about 4 miles north of San Diego.

Panaderos said...

Sue,

Yeah, those guys were very imaginative and creative. Awesome. :)

Panaderos said...

Carver,

They do look so real from a distance. Have a great weekend! :)

Panaderos said...

Julie,

Thank you very much. It's definitely going to be a hit with kids because of all the miniature replicas they have of cities and monuments. Pretty cool place to visit. :)

Fishman said...

Wow..that's nice. Imagine the amount of time and effort to build a city out of lego.

ellen b said...

what a great legoland shot that is. I read the Carlsbad part and you had me going...
have a great weekend...

Panaderos said...

Fishman,

I still wonder how long it took those people to set the whole display up. Thanks for the visit! :)

Panaderos said...

Ellen B,

the donG said...

amazing! lego is on my list of most loved toy because i've been longing to play it even now.

this one is stunning coz at first i thought it was real but then i thought it was just an ordinary miniature. then upon reading your post... it's lego! cool!

Natalie said...

That's really cool!

Leslie said...

Oh that's beaut! I love lego pictures. I have one on my blog of my son in a lego store in Dubai... must repubish it. :)

Photo Cache said...

it must be quite a sight to see all these works of art. i used to play with legos with my nephew and maybe because i have no talent at all, just creating something worth looking at is so difficult. i would love to see this someday too.

Lana G! said...

Legoland is on the list! Great shot. Have a wonderful weekend.

Mec said...

It looks wonderful. I have visited Legoland in Denmark, now I should go and hunt for those old pictures, lol.
Happy weekend and happy weekend :)

Sweeta said...

I didn't realize at first that it's made of Legos until I read the comments. Looks real.

pat said...

Wow - amazing!! My boys would love that!

Happy Weekend.

Lynn said...

Cute. I wonder how Lego will do it for the Philippines. Luneta? Why not.

bertN said...

Sayang, we missed Legoland's theme park when we were in Carlsbad not too long ago. I'll probably check it out soon.

WillThink4Wine said...

Wonderful. There's a Logoland at Disney's Pleasure Island and Market Place shopping area in Orlando. But they're life-sized!

John said...

Very cool shot!

bingskee said...

incredible skills of that person who did that. very detailed.

jenny said...

My kids love Legos, especially my son. His room is covered with legos at this moment. Legoland is already on our "dream vacation" list.
