Amazing houses covered by weed

The kudzu vine, also known as “the plant that ate the South,” was brought from eastern Asia in 1876 and can grow more than 6.5 feet a week. Its starchy roots plunge deep into the soil, and just a fragment of the plant remaining in the ground is enough to allow it to come back next season.  Few houses are abandoned and allowed to be taken over by vegetation. However, in parts of the south including the city of Atlanta those that are, are susceptible to being engulfed by kudzu. Is it really possible for this extremely irritating weed (to put it mildly) to be useful? If you look for home update soon, this can be nice accessory for your house…

A Palace Built To Impress

In the pictures, you will see property worth millions of dollars. If you observe, you will see that no matter which angle it is photographed, it always looks great. This is Gazprom, a palace built in the XVIII century style. The building style and the set up complement each other pretty well and when done, this will definitely be a must see place.
The entire site has two large buildings, the main house and the pavilion. The two have an artificial channel in between. The site is enclosed by high concrete walls on almost all sides. The water mesh fence allows a view of some areas. They plan to put up cascading fountains and creating a landscaped park. The work seems to be very important to the owners as it cannot be spotted by Google. You will see in the last picture how the entire site is hidden.
