Some folks don't pull their punches, they know what they like
and they don't stop at halfway, I admire that. 
In 1989, artist Ricky Boscarino began turning his home and property in New Jersey
into an astonishing and enchanted wonderland.
Have you ever taken the "virtual reality tour" of Luna Parc?

A vivid imagination working on overtime. I could not imagine trying to live with such surroundings. The ultimate finale of the Victorian era. Thank you for the link.

That location is amazing, just imagine how beautiful it would look covered in snow  I bet if Willy Wonka had a garden that is what it would look like for sure. So much to look through, I'm still looking. Did you see the House of Blue Bottles?

Love the House of Blue Bottles and the concrete sculpture with the bottles. Simply amazing as a good friend of mine would say.

I like the bottle sculptures too but find most of it rather garish for my taste. However, it would look lovely if the ground were covered in snow as Frank says. Children would adore it.

I would love to stroll through such a place!
Our bookshelf is graced with a few good books
on similar creative souls, including a book
I especially love; Gardens of Revelation...
Environments by Visionary Artists.
This includes mention and photographs of
some of my faves - Raymond Isidore, Simon Rodia,
Andre Breton and Tressa Prisbrey.
Thanks for sharing the link to Luna.

I'll bookmark this so hubby and I can look at this at our leisure. What a busy place. I don't know if I could relax with that maelstrom of colors swirling around me all the time but I like his style. He knows what he likes and he gets it. He definitely follows his bliss.

Glad you enjoyed looking through the site.
While it's full-on exuberance exceeds my personal comfort level,
I do have to say that I feel inspired every time I take the tour. 
Karen ~ You've mention some of my favorite "outré" artists, too.
I love Prisbrey's bottle structures and Rodia's towers.
Thanks for mentioning the book, I will have to look for it.
