The Underwater Sculpture Park is the work of sculptor Jason Taylor from England, who has a passion for creating fantastic and unique pieces of work depicting Grenada’s colourful history and folklore and placing them underwater. All of the sculptures are in beautiful clear shallow water easily accessible by divers and snorkelers. The sculptures end up creating artificial reefs, and enhancing the marine environment.
The response from visitors diving the site has been reported as nothing short of amazement and fascination on the whole concept. “the artist’s interventions promote hope and recovery, and underline our need to understand and protect the natural world.”

Recycable Office – Made Completely Of Cardboard
Imagine how much money you could save, if you made an office completely out cardboard. Impossible; I hear you say. But these images say otherwise. Yes, it is possible and it even looks really cool.

This, light and fully recyclable office, looks good and perfectly functional. The only thing you need to worry about is your employees bringing a lighter to work. I would buy a good supply of fire extinguishers along with it
