A bridge over tranquil waters

When I’m feeling weary and small, sometimes all it takes is seeing bricks laid down to ease my mind. And what’s more comforting than a bridge over troubled tranquil waters in the countryside? As chairman of the Zbudujmy.to! (Polish for Let’sBuild.It!) LEGO community, Paweł Michalak (aka Kris Kelvin) has contributed to and coordinated many amazing and immersive builds that celebrate the buildings and landscape of Poland.  Paweł’s latest piece features a bridge, but it’s the scenery that sweeps you away. The weeping willow, made from dozens of green whips, is a clever design that transports you right to the riverbank. The three swans, gracefully swooping under the bridge, let the scene soar.

Where swanns dare

Where are the swans headed? Probably one of the builder’s scene castles, gardens, or hobbit holes!

Behold! Busy bibliophiles blissfully browsing

If you’re the sort who lives to read, chances are you’ve dreamed of having a gigantic library filled with every book your heart desires. Consider that wish granted, even if it’s in tiny LEGO brick form. The “Scriptorium,” an eye-popping build by Paweł Michalak (Kris Kelvin), has everything a book lover might want. Cozy reading chairs! Cool quasi-medieval ambiance! And of course, enough books to keep Albus Dumbledore (spotted on the fourth floor) or William Shakespeare (on his way to the third-level floor terrace) occupied with ample reading material. Said books come in different thicknesses and heights; along with actual minifig book elements, I can spot 1×2 plates with a slide thingy, stacked 1×1 slopes, ingot bricks, and even candle pieces (to represent scrolls), to name a few. (Who cares if you can’t actually read any of these books? They look darn good on the shelf.)
