Lego Creation: Christmas Tree

This 33-foot-tall tree constructed entirely of LEGOs is the tallest LEGO Christmas tree ever constructed.  It was built in 2011 for display at the St. Pancras International train station in London.

Each of the tree’s 600,000 LEGO bricks, 172 Lego branches and 1,200 LEGO baubles were assembled by hand by just two men, Duncan Titmarsh, England’s only certified LEGO professional, and his business partner, Ed Diment.  The tree’s 172 LEGO branches are decorated with 1,000 ornaments and a garland of LED lights.

My high school guidance counselor told me I couldn't build things out of LEGOs for a living, and I'm feeling a bit lied to at the moment.
