Some really good photos from the inside with good use of lighting. Makes things look like what they were modeled after.

I wonder if Lego Land in Denmark has seen this girl's creation.

BTW, Lego Land is an entire theme park of -you guessed it- Lego creations. Haven't been there, just seen pictures.

I've been to the lego store in the Mall of America, where basically all the store fixtures like cabinets, shelves, etc, are all built with lego. Pretty cool stuff.
