It's not quite like the mountain, but, I imagine it would be fun scaling. I don't know, maybe there are too many windows too close together to make it a challenge. The exterior looks pretty smooth, so, that might make for an additional degree of difficulty. Then again, maybe not. I just know that I'm not trying it.

The decorated Christmas trees seen through the windows were each placed and decorated by a different group for public display. This was taken during a foggy evening.
The Durand Union Station was built in 1903 by the Detroit firm of Spier and Rohns at the junction of two major rail lines. The station was almost destroyed by fire in 1905, but was quickly rebuilt. When it was built, the station is at the junction of the Grand Trunk Western Railroad and the Ann Arbor Railroad. Today, the station is a stop for the Amtrak train that connects Chicago, Illinois and Port Huron, Michigan.
Rail lines (to left) lead northwest from Santa Clara toward San Francisco, passing beneath the De La Cruz Boulevard overpass.

Signals for much of the line between San Jose and San Francisco were controlled from this tower into the 1990s.
In 2010 I've build this lighthouse. It's a scale model of the lighthouse that guards the harbor of my hometown Urk, The Netherlands.
The models stands over 70 cm tall (27.6 inch) and it uses 4.237 bricks. The lightning consists of two old 9V light bulbs. The light rotates with 10rpm, giving it the same light signature as the original. I've spend over 130 hours building it, not counting the time browsing on BrickLInk.
Some info on the original lighthouse: The current lighthouse is build in 1844. As early as 1617 a coal fire was burning on the hill of Urk. In 1837 a square tower was build. This was replaced in 1844 by the current lighthouse. In 1920 a electric light-bulb was installed. Since 1989 the lighthouse is fully automatic. Because of the use of radar, the importance of the lighthouse becomes smaller and smaller. That's why they took the fog signal out of use in 2001.
The famous Ampelmännchen of Berlin.
From Wikipedia:
he Ampelmännchen is a beloved symbol in Eastern Germany, enjoy[ing] the privileged status of being one of the few features of communist East Germany to have survived the end of the Iron Curtain with his popularity unscathed. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Ampelmännchen acquired cult status and became a popular souvenir item in the tourism business.

These vehicles have been in production with small variations since 1948, I belive that this one is not that old :-)
I really like these cars, I remeber as a kid back in Colombia and Argentina that most of the Land Rover there were made in Spain by Santana.
They might not be the pretiest but are some of the best all terrain vehicles ever made.
Irish Rail Class 29000 four-car DMU number 29016 running along the banks of the Royal Canal with a Dublin to Maynooth Commuter service on a very peaceful and tranquil late summer evening. The mirror-perfect reflection on the canal shows just how tranquil the evening was, there wasn't a puff of wind.
You can see the first hints of autumn colour in some of the trees. In the distance you can see the 13th lock at Deey Bridge. You can also see the signal controlling Blakestown level crossing next to the train.
