The Science Channel aired an intriguing documentary on September 2, 2008, "The Secret Towers of the Himalayas". The hour long documentary chronicled the mapping and dating of an estimated 600 stone towers
scattered throughout Tibet by Frederique Darragon and Michel Peissel between 1998 and 2003. Carbon dating showed that the towers are between 500 and 1,200 years old.
Who built these towers and why is it a mystery.
The ancient manuscripts of the Buddhist monks in the area do not mention the towers. The indigenous people of the region have no written history and, because of their isolation, there is little communication between villages. Often the dialects from one valley to the next is so diverse as to be a different language. Darragon and Peissel assume that this isolation and the lack of a written language may have been a major factor in the lost of the towers' history.
There are mentions of the towers, however, by Chinese scholars late in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) in descriptions of kingdoms that were thought to be only legends. Darragon found that many of the villages where the towers are located bear the same names as these kingdoms.

Folder : Sam.Amalan.
Paper : Octagon
Parts : One
Diagram : Reverse Engineered , ( Made from Picture )
After very long gap My second spell starts with this Star Tower , Indeed this one was made along with my previous model ,but a little hesitation to upload, because the color slightly resembles with original .
The other day I was taking a photo of this saguaro when this girl just walks in front of the camera.
As a tribute to the many cultures that have studied the desert night sky, the tower was designed as a spiral configuration, resembling the shape of the Milky Way constellation topped off with a rusted steel sail.

The Habourside
"The Harbourside (Chinese: 君臨天下) is a 255 m (836.6 ft) tall residential skyscraper located at 1 Austin Road West, in Union Square complex on Kowloon peninsula. The building is erected on the West Kowloon Reclamation west of Kwun Chung. Construction of the 74 storey building began in 2001 and was completed in 2004 under the design by P & T Architects & Engineers.
The building is, in fact, three towers joined at the base, middle and top however from a distance it appears as one wall of a building. The gaps between the towers help relieve the stress caused by the wind as the building has a large surface area which results in it acting as a sail. It was constructed as part of the Kowloon Station development and was the fourth phase. All floors are used for residential purposes.
The tower is the 91st tallest building in the world when measured up to the highest architectural point."
