This is sort of what I was talking about yesterday, although unlike G-Cans, this isn't a real place—not yet, anyway. It's a proposal for a park commemorating the Tangshan earthquake in China, 1976. The swing lanterns, according to some fellow what wrote about it, are intended to symbolize hope and remembrance.
I'd like to tie this into gaming some how, but really, I've just been thirsting for visually stimulating things lately, imagery that straddles the membrane between reality and the not-so-much. So maybe I'll just post crap like that every now and then—if, by my own definition, I must tie stuff into gaming, let's simply suggest that this imagery could serve well in a game of some sort.
Now that I think about it, Chrono Trigger had one hell of an iconic lamp -- every now and then I'll spot a Victorian lamp and think of Gaspar and his bowler, the subtle nod and the "Hey."
