Terribly good indeed!

Maybe something to look into: the stair steps. Taking into consideration 
the size of the visitors to this structure, either the banisters are too 
low, or the steps are to high. I guesstimate by a factor of two maybe a 
bit more. This becomes only obvious in the close up views of course. 
 From a distance, I am afraid the steps structure would become invisible 
if reduced in height size.
