Similar to this Portuguese guitarra (http://www.bernunzio.com/item.php?sku=0610222) now on sale at Bernunzio's.

Looking at these things always gives me the creeps. Kind of like that scene in Cat People. (Sorry about the reference, but truth be told, I can't shake it.) I'm sure they are wonderful.

How about this one (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=pC-49GnjdTE) from a thread in the builders' forum?

Fantastic, Allen, thanks. A little less scary at that size. I'd love to make a trip to Porto. It seems like a great city and is home to one of my favorite architects, Alvaro Siza.
