1. California's Sequoia National Park
This unusual tunnel can be seen in California's Sequoia National Park. The drive is cut through the tree trunk of a Sequoia which fell
in 1937. Instead of removing it from the road, the park administration decided
to cut a tunnel in it. It's 5.18 m. (17 ft.) wide and 2.44 m. (8 ft.) high.Link
2. Prairie Lights

5. The Bund Sightseeing Tunnel
This has to be one of the most surreal, psychedelic and fun
forms of public transport. The Tunnel connects East Nanjin Rd on the Bund, and
Pudong near the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, running under the Huangpu river in
Shanghai, China. It's a psychedelic trip in a glass capsule along the 647-meter
flashing, srobing tunnel.Link
6. Tunnel House
This building and an adjacent one had been used for
exhibition space and art classes for over 30 years and they're both scheduled
to be torn down to make way for a new larger structure. So, as a final
farewell, local Houston artists, Dan Havel and Dean Ruck, turned them into an
art installation known as "Inversion." Using boards from the outside
of the houses they created a large funnel-like vortex running between the two
that ends in a small hole in an adjacent courtyard. It's a cool effect
particularly for those who always wanted to experience a black hole without the
whole "being crushed to a quantum singularity" end result.Link
7. Rotterdam Market Hall
Imagine having this cool public market pop up in your town?
Well the lucky residents of Rotterdam, The Netherlands, are actually getting
one! The mayor announced the commencement of construction on the huge
tunnel-shaped market hall which will flash images of gigantic fresh fruits and
vegetables via LCD screens on the inside and be lined with balconied apartments
offering killer views on the outside. This true mixed-use development combining
residences, shopping, restaurants and a public market will be a central hub of
activity for citizens and tourists. The project is being developed by Provast
and was designed by MVRDV.
The new icon for Rotterdam is expected to be completed in
2014.Link
