Annual Exhibition Showcasing New York Landmarks Made From Natural Materials
New York Landmarks - Made From Twigs, Bark and Leaves
An annual exhibition showcases replica New York landmarks all made from natural materials such as bark, twigs, stems, fruit, nuts and leaves.
The Christmas Holiday Train Show exhibits more than 140 scaled iconic buildings including the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, Radio City Music Hall and the original Yankee Stadium.
Now in its 20th year the show also features more than a dozen large-scale model railway trains - from late 1800s American Steam engines and streetcars to modern freight and high-speed passenger trains.
The trains past through the famous landmarks from a fungus-formed Guggenheim Museum to a towering Brooklyn Bridge.
The exhibition is at the New York Botanical Garden running until mid January.
Visitors also get an insider's look at how the replicas are constructed.
Models in different stages of completion will show how a structure destined for the Holiday Train Show is framed and starts taking shape through the addition of plant parts.
Show designer Paul Busse and his son, Brian and their team at Applied Imagination in Kentucky will also tell the story of how they create the Holiday Train Show.
