San Francisco In Toothpicks

Just a little present of "amazing" to our loyal Smile File readers. The guy in the pictures below, Scott Weaver, has been working on his art installation Rolling Through The Bay for 30-something years. He says it's made of 100,000 toothpicks. Ping-pong balls roll through various parts of the sculpture, as if building San Francisco in toothpicks wasn't cool enough.

Behold: Rolling Through The Bay, as photographed by chrispcampbell, our new friend from Flickr.
