Recent Bottle Walls on Flickr
Curious that there seems to be more and more bottle walls and bottle houses popping up on the web, especially on Flickr. All these are from Flickr and all were posted in the past 3-4 months -
anonymous close up
First of all, a few sites I'd heard of but never found images for -
Pioneertown, CA
this is at Pappy and Harriet's Pioneertown Palace (though no mention of the bottle walls on their website)
Calico House
The Ghost Town in Calico, California. I'd seen a few images of this house before but not in such a wide range of angles.
Prince Edward Island
I'd heard of these three bottle houses on Prince Edward Island Canada by Edouard Arsenault before but, again, I simply hadn't stumbled upon quite so many images before... and you get many more images with a Flickr search of Prince Edward Island Bottle. These are just a few recent images...

The New Zealand Bottle Wall Thing
Why New Zealand as the new vanguard of bottle wall/house creation? Is it the remoteness?, the eccentricity of the populace?, a 'green' revolution?, or the Hundertwasser influence? - or some combination of all? In any case, there seems to be a great deal of bottle wall activity happening in New Zealand.
