"Log Skyscraper"

This building, and its shorter twin (obscured behind) were, apparently, built on a bet many many years ago when one guy said he could build a log skyscraper. It's a bit of a stretch, for sure, but both buildings have stood for decades since, and have become a bit of a local sightseeing attraction. The fact that they are actually appartments which are regularly and continuously occupied by tennants is a fact perhaps not so generally known or appreciated.

 

Photo taken with the Canon EOS R and RF 24-105mm f/4.0 L mounted to a sturdy tripod. The final image was processed from raw in Adobe Lightroom Classic 11, and in DxO PhotoLab 5.1.2. I did manipulate the image a little to eliminate perspective distortion, and then to add a hint of toy blur effect. It just felt right for this stucture.
