This image is not only inspiring in the sense that it a beautiful piece of architectural design, but also that it provides me with an assured sense of creative possibility. From this photo I not only see a design that I find interesting, but an inspiration to go beyond the simple green lot that so many parks are brought up to be. This is my inspiration to go beyond that of a simple little play park, but to take hold of the limitless opportunities that lie in the world of imagination.
