Europe Norway The Twist in Jevnaker, Norway was completed in 2019. It is three structures in one, part museum, part bridge, and part sculpture. The bridge connects two forested riverbanks. It spans 60 meters across the Randselva River and is located in the middle of Kistefos Sculpture Park. The bridge consists of only straight lines however, the long aluminum and wood panels are twisted like a deck of cards forming a fan shape.

Happy Valley Farm
Happy Valley Farm stretched along the Prairie River and was a popular farm. People enjoyed coming here in spring to see the newborn farm animals, in the summer to picnic along the Prairie River, and by the man-made lake simply referred to as The Duck Pond. During harvest time they came to buy the fresh-grown vegetables. Then one day things went from bad to worst. The farm relied on the Prairie River for irrigating their crops and for water for the farm. Besides that, there was a deep well that seemed to have a very low water level now and the sun seemed to blaze upon the farm until the Prairie River just dried up and all that was left was a deep, dry river bed. Farmer Brown was considering selling the farm.
