Although the LED balls make a very pretty effect, they surely are not eco friendly.

Whoa… great photos. Is there a larger version of that second one available for downloading? Wish I could use it as my pc’s wallpaper.

Neither these floating lamps nor the Sky Tree tower is eco-friendly. Yet, people still believes “japanese culture is founded on the respect of nature”. Yeah ! That’s why every harbour of this country is now a concrete paradise, there are so many “robots” used for escape to loneliness, or for it’s private sexual pleasure, far from a real human being.
STOP IT NOW, JAPAN ! For us, but mostly for yourself !
