51. Famous photos recreated in LEGO

2377782949_048eb62a2d

Photographer Mike Stimpson photographs plastic toys, particularly LEGO. His Flickr stream is loaded with lovely, colourful photographs of everyone’s favourite stackable block — including a super fun Star Wars set.

But it’s his LEGO recreations of famous photos, like Raising the flag on Iwo Jima or National Geographic’s Afghan Girl, that I find particularly interesting.

57. Kowloon Peninsula, China

Kowloon Peninsula, China

Coordinates: 22 19 N 114 11 E

Area: 3.5 square miles (9 sq. km)

Before maps became a source of fascination for me, there was LEGO. Something about these multicolored, interlocking plastic building blocks sparked my imagination in way that other toys simply couldn’t. Ever since my enthusiasm for travel has overtaken my desire to construct miniature castles and Cubist dinosaurs, I tend to find cartograms and satellite imagery a bit more engrossing. Which doesn’t mean I wasn’t excited to discover Sport City, the latest creation of the Hong Kong LEGO Users Group (HKLUG). Using roughly 300,000 bricks and some 4,500 mini-figures, they have painstakingly replicated Beijing’s Olympic Village. Personally, I think their impressive achievement should be toured like the Olympic torch, but for now, it can only be seen by visiting Kowloon Peninsula, the densely populated spit of land across Victoria Harbor from Hong Kong Island.

60. How can you resist "the Anarchist Cookbook of the nursery"?

It turns out, according to The Telegraph, that the Forbidden LEGO book I looked at the other month is a "surprise Christmas bestseller"* (no, I decided against it for Daniel this year -- in my head I sounded like Ralphie's mother: "You'll put your eye out" -- instead biting the bullet and trying Sploids, which join Lego and K'Nex, though I still haven't heard from anyone I know who has actually
