Legoland and Visions of New Orleans
Welcome to Legoland, where The Boy asked me, “Why is everything made out of Legos?”
Mind the Sith Lord
Legoland is ele-fun! (how much dorkier can I be?)
Flamingoes! Lego Flamingoes!
The Sydney Opera House
George Washington gets an ear cleaning…
And now for my favorite part of Legoland, the Lego Cities! A fully constructed Las Vegas strip, New York skyline, San Francisco Bay, and yes, New Orleans too:
The French Quarter
A Jazz Funeral
The Cathedral
A Mardi Gras Parade
And no trip to New Orleans is complete without…
Wizard-dressed people standing on corners with their arms spread out to emphasize the coming Apocalypse…
Someone getting arrested…
And someone else videotaping it.
Legoland.
Wow.

OMG! That’s hot.
That’s what it looks like right now outside of my window. A cop is arresting a guy and someone else is videotaping it.
Well, at my old house anyways. That’s hilarious. The cathedral is amazing. I used to take my 4th grade class there to draw it and take photographs and I have looked at it from many angles and that’s pretty incredible.
Did you pee in your pants?
i love legoland!
the NOLA stuff is great, and very realistic (with a jazz funeral to boot!), except you CANNOT drive a car in front of St. Louis Cathedral. Strictly pedestrian all around Jackson Square.
and of course the parade is not nearly crowded enough
that was really cool. it is amazing what people can do with lego. it is like the corn place where ever thing is made of corn.
Coulda fooled me. What an obsession. So much imagination and plastic.
DUDE!! That’s FABULOUS!
The time and talent that went into this is awesome. Thanks for the find.
Wow! That is fantastic!!! I’ve never seen anything like that. Legos? Who knew! I cant even imagine the work that went into those.
Now thats a dream job. Getting paid to build with LEGOs. How can I apply.
The original one in Denmark, is 10x more impressive
jdmock, are you from South Dakota. No one in their right mind outside South Dakota knows about the corn palace.
LegoLand is underwhelming for me, but you have to appreciate the insanity of the architechture.
WOW!! That’s amazing. Thank you for posting
If these are your photos, I was wondering if I could have permission to use a couple of them on my blog about miniatures, as something different? I’d link to the blog and encourage them to come here to see the rest of the photos, of course.
