John Lennon’s lighthouse. He said, ‘Well, actually, I invited you because I wanted to know if you can build the lighthouse in my garden,’ and I said: ‘Oh, dear, no, no. It’s just a conceptual idea. I don’t know how to build anything.’ Yoko makes a dream of John's come true in Iceland. It’s geothermal. Amy Goodman's take on the subject. And, of course, video.

No, it's LENIN. Vladimir. Ilyich. Ulyanov. You're out of your element, Donnie.

Very nice stuff. The effect of the light at that tallest layer of clouds is pretty spectacular. I kept trying to figure out if there was something up there that was part of the structure, then realized that no, it was just diffusing into the clouds. Beautiful!

In addition the IMAGINE PEACE TOWER will be lit on New Year's Eve, during the first week of spring and on some rare special occasions agreed between the City and Ono.

Like National Bag Day and Bring Your Bed to Work Day and Primal Scream Week.

My thoughts exactly. Kind of like the Luxor, but in Iceland.

I saw this earlier in the week and it brought tears to my eyes.

Doesn't it look a lot like the 9/11 tribute to the Twin Towers?
