From a distance it looks like a cathedral, but however it is the former long-distance transmitter "Radio Kootwijk" that maintained the radio traffic between the Netherlands and their former colony of Indonesia.
The "Cathedral" consists of concrete in which no iron or steel has been processed, so as not to disturb the radio signal.
The architect Julius Luthmann was inspired for the design by the German "Telefunken" broadcasting station and the Giza Sphinx, which can bee seen from the "front legs" that formed the entrance.
The "pond" in front of the building was the cooling water reservoir that the immense transformers and generators had to cool.

This is a closeup view toward east. This photo may be felt like revealing the magic of the theme "Nature in Tokyo."
Direct distance to the centre of Tokyo from Kagenobu-yama is more or less 50 km.
The tower in the upper-left is called Tokyo Skytree (東京スカイツリー), a broadcasting tower of 634m. It is the second tallest structure in the world after Bhurj Khalifa in Dubai.
The twin tower building to the right of Skytree is Tokyo Tochou or the metropolitan government office (東京都庁), and the area around the building is called Shinjuku (新宿).
Shinjuku is the starting point of the Oume Kaidou (青梅街道) road in Okutama (奥多摩).
Horizontal green belt as appears below Shinjuku marks the location of the Tamagawa (多摩川) river.
Cluster of buildings just behind the green hill is the urban centre of Hachiouji city municipality (八王子市).
Today was Martin Luther King jr. Day and public offices were closed and the LBJ Library was free. So, I took my meetup group there and we toured the place. It's a massive building with lots of memorable things inside. Kinda like taking a walk back in time. Here's more info on LBJ
ohnson was strongly supported by the Democratic Party, and as President designed the "Great Society" legislation upholding civil rights, public broadcasting, Medicare, Medicaid, aid to education, the arts, urban and rural development, public services, and his "War on Poverty". Assisted in part by a growing economy, the War on Poverty helped millions of Americans rise above the poverty line during Johnson's presidency.[2] Civil rights bills signed by Johnson banned racial discrimination in public facilities, interstate commerce, the workplace, and housing; and the Voting Rights Act banned certain requirements in southern states used to disenfranchise African Americans. With the passage of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, the country's immigration system was reformed and all national origin quotas were removed. Johnson was renowned for his domineering, sometimes abrasive, personality and the "Johnson treatment"—his aggressive coercion of powerful politicians to advance legislation.

The former radio station “Radio Kootwijk” is situated in the heart of the “Veluwe” centred in a wonderful natural reserve area. It is a unique establishment that is highly valued for its typical blend of scenery with cultural-historical and industrial-historical characteristics.
Radio transmitting station Kootwijk was the most important connection between the Netherlands and the Dutch East Indies during the Interbellum. The station was occupied by the Wehrmacht on 11 May 1940. The German occupier used radio broadcasting station Kootwijk for different purposes:
- First, to keep in touch with the U-boats in the Atlantic Ocean.
- Secondly, for propaganda broadcasts to Great Britain and the
neutral countries.
- And finally as a jammer for broadcasts from Radio Oranje and BBC.
On 6 and 7 April 1945 the Germans blew up the masts and destroyed the radio equipment.
Once again we are at Lake Shuswap where we are frequently privy to some amazing sunsets. I have an "old haunt" picked out that gives me direct access to the far mountains, and the setting sun during summer. Again, mother nature delivered her finest and I captured a few images.
The next night we shared the sunset and enjoyed a late dinner on the beach. The sky can be as entertaining as any tv show, as scenes change with each passing moment. Every night channel NBS delivered award winning entertainment that we enjoyed from the comfort of our chairs.
An upload meant as an accompaniment to the previous one, showing the whole building. Stitched from 6 camera jpegs.

The Parliament of Queensland is the legislature of the Australian State of Queensland. As provided under the Constitution of Queensland, the Parliament consists of the King, represented by the governor, and the Legislative Assembly. It has been the only unicameral state legislature in the country since the upper chamber, the Legislative Council, was abolished in 1922. The Legislative Assembly sits in Parliament House in the state capital, Brisbane.
The Queensland Parliament retains plenary legislative power over Queensland, however Commonwealth laws apply to the extent of any inconsistency. Some laws from the colonial era passed by the New South Wales parliament and the Imperial Parliament also remain in force.
Following the outcome of the 2015 election, four additional seats were added to the Legislative Assembly, the voting system changed from optional preferential voting to full-preferential voting, and unfixed three-year terms were replaced with fixed four-year terms.
The Parliament was founded 22 May 1860, less than a year after the Colony of Queensland was created in June 1859. It was convened at military and convict barracks converted for the purpose located on Queen Street, Brisbane. Immigration was an important issue for the early Parliament. Population growth was encouraged with new settlers enticed by land ownership.
In 1915, Queensland became the first state to make voting compulsory at state elections.
Since 1 April 2003, live audio broadcasts have streamed through the internet from the Parliament while it is in session. In June 2007, the Parliament started broadcasting video of parliamentary proceedings. Nine in-house television cameras are used to record sessions.
The first female Speaker, Fiona Simpson was elected on 15 May 2012.

Broadcasting Tower is a university building in Broadcasting Place in Woodhouse Lane, Leeds, England. It houses the Faculty of Arts, Environment and Technology, while the main tower section consists of student flats.
It was designed by Stirling Prize-winning architects Feilden Clegg Bradley. It is clad in COR-TEN weathering steel, which has given it the rust-like appearance it is known for.[
In some parts of the world agricultural practices have not changed for thousands of years. This photo, taken in the Iranian deserts near Hamedan shows a farmer scattering (broadcasting) seed by hand over his land.
Broadcasting House, Leeds. It’s won various national and international Architecture awards, and is a building that divides opinion. One thing I’m certain of is that the designer didn’t account for Peregrine Falcons nesting on the side of it...
I thought that I imagined the state that a picture of TV flew here steadily such from far away that I would be glad if I was TV.

"The reusable first stage on Tuesday’s mission — tail number B1060 — aced its 15th launch and landing, tying a record for the most-flown booster in SpaceX’s inventory. It debuted in June 2020 on a mission carrying a GPS navigation satellite into space, and most recently flew Oct. 8 on a mission with two Intelsat TV broadcasting satellites."
Broadcasting House is the headquarters of the BBC, in Portland Place and Langham Place, London. The first radio broadcast from the building was made on 15 March 1932, and the building was officially opened two months later, on 15 May. The main building is in Art Deco style, with a facing of Portland stone over a steel frame. It is a Grade II* listed building and includes the BBC Radio Theatre, where music and speech programmes are recorded in front of a studio audience.
The head of BBC history, Robert Seatter, has said George Orwell in his novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), "reputedly based his notorious Room 101 from the novel "on a room he had worked in whilst at the BBC."
In 1985 it was revealed by The Observer that MI5 had had a special office in the building from 1937 for the purpose of vetting BBC employees for national security purposes.

Torrespaña (ENG: Towerspain) is a 232 m (761.15 ft) high reinforced concrete freestanding broadcasting tower in Madrid, Spain.
Access to the upper areas of the tower, which is only permitted to the personnel working there, is via an elevator installed inside the shaft. The staircase has 1,208 steps.
It is the central and main transmission node of the terrestrial television and radio networks in the country as well as the station that covers the city and its metropolitan area.
Torrespaña is also the name of the television production center at the foot of the tower where the central news services of Televisión Española (TVE) are located. Both facilities were built jointly by Radiotelevisión Española (RTVE) on the occasion of the 1982 FIFA World Cup.
IN POPULAR CULTURE: Torrespaña is popularly known as "El Pirulí", given the similarity between the tower and a particular type of lollipop of conical shape very popular in Spain in the eighties.
Unlike the famous Berlin TV Tower (GER: Berliner Fernsehturm), no 360° rotating restaurant has been designed here.
EL PIRULÍ MADRILEÑO, 2024
Torrespaña (ENG: Towerspain) es una torre de transmisión independiente de hormigón armado de 232 m (761,15 pies) de altura situada en Madrid, España.
El acceso a las zonas superiores de la torre, solo permitido al personal que trabaja en ellas, se realiza mediante un ascensor instalado en el interior del fuste. La escalera tiene 1208 peldaños.
Es el nodo central y principal de transmisión de las cadenas de televisión y radio terrestres del país así como la emisora que da cobertura a la ciudad y su área metropolitana.
Torrespaña es también el nombre del centro de producción televisiva situado a los pies de la torre donde se ubican los servicios centrales de informativos de Televisión Española (TVE). Ambas instalaciones fueron construidas conjuntamente por Radiotelevisión Española (RTVE) con motivo del Mundial de Fútbol de 1982.
EN LA CULTURA POPULAR: Torrespaña es conocida popularmente como “El Pirulí”, dada la similitud entre la torre y un particular tipo de piruleta de forma cónica muy popular en España en los años ochenta.
A diferencia de la famosa Torre de Televisión de Berlín (GER: Berliner Fernsehturm), aquí no se ha diseñado ningún restaurante que gire 360º.

I tried the photography that combined a magnifying glass with #extrabokeh on that day. My camera bag becomes bigger.
By the way, the pictures with the magnifying glass, I named it #glassporthole.

After the visit to the cat cafe we decided to make our way to Battersea, walking back a slightly different route to Oxford Circus to catch the Tube. I was surprised to pass these London landmarks.
This shows the exterior of Broadcasting House, the headquarters of the BBC in London.
A new East wing, built in the same Portland stone as the original Broadcasting House, balances the existing construction. The two buildings are linked by a glass-fronted extension, allowing visitors and passers-by to witness the BBC's daily activities. The glass was specially treated to create varied lighting effects throughout the day.
An integrated lighting scheme for the site also embraces the neighbouring All Souls' Church. The Broadcasting House complex surrounds a new central 'piazza' space, a new public destination in central London, with facilities including a cafe and performance area. (From BBC.com)
The main building was refurbished, and an extension built to the rear. The radio stations BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio 4 Extra and the BBC World Service transferred to refurbished studios within the building. The extension links the old building with the John Peel Wing, and includes a new combined newsroom for BBC News, with studios for the BBC News channel, BBC World News and other news programming. The move of news operations from BBC Television Centre was completed in March 2013. The official name of the building is "Broadcasting House" but the BBC, until 2024, used the term "new Broadcasting House" (with a lowercase 'n') in its publicity referring to the new extension rather than the whole building, with the original building known as "old Broadcasting House".

This pirate-broadcasting-tower-turned-restaurant played a rebellious role in the history of Dutch television.
The restaurant known as REM Eiland wasn’t always an architectural oddity in the Amsterdam port of Houthaven. The 80-foot-tall, red-and-white tower was originally a pirate radio and TV station in the North Sea, and it gave Dutch viewers their first taste of commercial television.
It was 1964, and up to that point, there’d only been state-sponsored television. From the tower, a channel called TV Noordzee broadcast shows such as Zorro, Rin-Tin-Tin, and Mr. Ed, along with commercials. While viewers were entertained, the government was not: The tower’s location in international waters allowed TV Noordzee to circumvent Dutch laws. But this rebellion was short-lived: Four months after TV Noordzee launched, the government found a way to use the 1958 Geneva Convention to justify restructuring offshore territorial boundaries. And with that, REM Eiland fell under Dutch control. On December 17, 1964, marines raided the tower and shut down operations.
The government used the tower as a site for measuring ocean temperatures and salt levels before dismantling it and bringing it ashore in 2006. But just when REM Eiland seemed like it might disappear for good, new owners purchased it and started renovations (including adding another floor and losing the helipad) to turn it into the restaurant it is today.
