Near to Hartshead Pike, Oldham, Lancashire, UK... The building on the far left of this picture used to be a pub - The Collier's Arms!
I have a lot of respect for those
who make it
to show a picture every day.
Sometime and somewhere
I have on my forays into the villages
shot this picture
how come? I don't know.
House number 9 seems to have gone missing.

What it is really and to add to it between the field and the houses there is the A246 road running between Leatherhead and Guildford . The sheep here is not lonely as in this field there were at least a dozen sheep give or take , so there is plenty of grass to go around !!
The scene with the contrast between the rural and residential seemed to stand out when I was originally just getting capture of the sheep .
China is still developing. 2025 will see the country starting its second phase of industrialisation, in its vast and resource rich western provinces, with Chongqing as the administrative hub and international port 1500 miles inland from the sea. Phase 1 industrialisation started from a low base in the 1970s and has made China the world's biggest economy and a manufacturer double in output of its only global competitor the United States. Phase 2 is beginning at an infinitely higher technological and infrastructural base, and is already mind-boggling.

Karl-Marx-Hof is a municipal residential complex with 1382 apartments in Heiligenstadt, a neighbourhood of the 19th district of Vienna, Döbling. It was built in the years 1927-30.
Karl-Marx-Hof is a so-called Gemeindebau, which is the German word for "municipality building" (pl. Gemeindebauten). It`s one of the best-known Gemeindebauten in Vienna.
"Gemeindebauten have become an important part of the architecture and culture of Vienna since the 1920s. Up to 1918, the housing conditions of Vienna's growing working class were appalling by modern standards. When the Social Democratic Party of Austria gained control of the municipal administration during Austria's First Republic (1918-1934) (so called "Red Vienna"), it began the project of improving living conditions for workers. A large number of Gemeindebauten, usually large residential estates, were built during that time. Including those buildings that were finished after the events of February 1934, 64,000 apartments where completed, which created housing space for about 220,000 people. Apartments were assigned on the basis of a point system favoring families and less affluent citizens.
The classic interwar Gemeindebauten typically have a main entrance with a large gate, through which one enters into a yard. Inside, there are trees and some greenery, where children can play without having to go out on the street. Apartments are accessed from the inside.
This fortress-like structure made the buildings adaptable to military use. Several Gemeindebauten in Vienna, most notably the Karl-Marx-Hof, were sites of fighting during the Austrian Civil War of February 1934, when they were defended as Social Democratic Party strongholds." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemeindebau

Marina City, affectionately known as "the corn cob", is a mixed-use residential-commercial building complex in Chicago, Illinois, United States, North America, designed by architect Bertrand Goldberg. The multi-building complex opened between 1963 and 1967 and occupies almost an entire city block on State Street on the north bank of the Chicago River on the Near North Side, directly across from the Loop. Portions of the complex were designated a Chicago Landmark in 2016.
The complex consists of two 587-foot (179 m), 65-story apartment towers, opened in 1963, which include physical plant penthouses. It also includes a 10-story office building (now a hotel) opened in 1964, and a saddle-shaped auditorium building originally used as a cinema. The four buildings, access driveways, and a small plaza that originally included an ice rink are built on a raised platform next to the Chicago River. Beneath the platform, at river level, is a small marina for pleasure craft, giving the structures their name.
