  Craftsman Evgeny Smolik walks through   the richly ornamented gates of his house in the Siberian village of   Irbeyskoe some 180 km (112 miles) east of Krasnoyarsk. Smolik, a   self-educated craftsman, adorned his 19th century village house and its   interior with a wide range of wood carvings and hand crafted furniture   in fantasy designs that are inspired by the traditional Russian Lubok   print, surrealism, fairy tales and his personal sense of humour.

  Picture shows garden gnomes in front   of a handmade house at a private garden in Lindau at lake Constance. The   first garden gnomes were introduced to the United Kingdom in 1847 by   Sir Charles Isham, when he brought 21 terracotta figures back from a   trip to Germany. Garden gnomes are a popular accessory in many German   gardens.

  Potential buyers stand with an agent   on the balcony of a three-bedroom home made from four old shipping   containers in Sydney. The two-storey mobile home also includes two   bathrooms, timber floors, air-conditioning, a kitchen, laundry, balcony   and sewage treatment tank, which can be pulled apart in less than a day   for ease of transportation.
