Ainda agora falámos dele, mas este novíssimo trabalho de Norton74 merece ser destacado. Andrea Lattanzo (o nome verdadeiro de Norton74), inspirou-se na obra literária (e biográfica) de Henry David Thoreau, "Walden;or, Life in the Woods" e tentou recriar, usando a sua imaginação, a cabana onde o autor do livro viveu durante dois anos. Esta construção está cheia de detalhes deliciosos, como as árvores (todas eles, mesmo a "despida"), o telheiro com a lenha, o ar meio abandonado da cabana a necessitar de algumas obras, os inúmeros utensílios espalhados pela zona envolvente e a vegetação, dando um toque de desleixo, típico de quem vive como um eremita no meio da floresta.
A peça usada para o fumo da chaminé também resultou muito bem.

Fica aqui uma descrição por parte do autor:
A few months ago a friend of mine loaned me a book I had always heard of but never read. The book is the well-known "Walden; or life in the woods" written by Henry David Thoreau and published in 1854.
Walden details Thoreau's experiences over the course of two years, two months, and two days (1845–47) in a cabin he built near Walden Pond amidst woodland owned by his friend and mentor Ralph Waldo Emerson, near Concord, Massachusetts.
By
immersing himself in nature, Thoreau hoped to gain a more objective
understanding of society through personal introspection. Simple living
and self-sufficiency were Thoreau's other goals, and the whole project
was inspired by transcendentalist philosophy, a central theme of the American Romantic Period. It is considered Thoreau’s masterwork.
Struck by the history and inspired by the cover of the book, in the few past weeks I built Thoreau's cabin
in the wood. It´s the first time that I made a woods-themed creation
and I really had a lot fun building it. Thanks for stopping by.
