I was walking around Lynnwood with Ranger while my oil got changed at Magic Toyota. I've always liked this vintage small industrial building and took a few photos of it back in March 2007 (here and here.). According to their website, HMC has been around since 1946 manufacturing retail display fixtures and entertainment centers. The place now looked a little vacant, and peering around the corner of the building I noticed that a portion of the building had burned down to the steel frame. Googling I learned that the fire occurred on February 20, 2008. I hope all is well with HMC and hopefully not another victim of recession.

View of the large metal supertrees in the Gardens by the Bay in the marina area, these rising above the natural trees in the garden. The metal bridges between the supertrees is visible in this photo along with people on these metal connections. Gardens by the Bay is the newest tourist attraction of Singapore, and was meant to increase the amount of greenery in the city, trying out a concept called "City in a Garden", rather than being a "Garden City". It provides more green space in the city, a major attraction, as well as being a large outdoor space. The park spans 250 hectares, reclaimed land, next to the Marina Reservoir. Once fully completed, there will be 3 components - Bay South Garden, Bay East Garden and Bay Central Garden.
Some of the more prominent structures inside the Gardens are the Supertrees and the Conservatories (the Flower Dome and the Cloud Forest). The Flower Dome is larger than the Cloud Forest, having a size of 3 acres and will display plants that are typically found in the Mediterranean and similar regions while the Cloud Forest has a size of 2 acres and is meant to display plants that are found in tropical mountain regions (with a height between 1000 and 3000 meters above sea level). The Supertrees are the incredible tree like structures that act like vertical gardens and host exotic species of plants such as ferns, orchids and vines.
Although the risers for the cross trusses were welded in with various pitch to accommodate each truss determined by the truss distance from the focal point of the structure; when placed, they all appeared aligned to each other when standing near the focal point.

Not sure about what is being constructed, but since there are a number of events that take place on the floating platform and the Formula One race was about to happen in a month, it could be because of that. In the background is the Mandarin Oriental hotel.

The Angel of the North is a contemporary sculpture, designed by Antony Gormley, located in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, England.
Completed in 1998, it is a steel sculpture of an angel, 20 metres (66 ft) tall, with wings measuring 54 metres (177 ft) across. The wings do not stand straight sideways, but are angled 3.5 degrees forward; Gormley did this to create "a sense of embrace". The angel like much of Gormley's other work is based on a cast of his body.
It stands on the hill of Birtley, at Low Eighton in Lamesley, overlooking the A1 and A167 roads into Tyneside, and the East Coast Main Line rail route, south of the site of Team Colliery.
Work began on the project in 1994, and cost £800,000. Most of the project funding was provided by the National Lottery. The Angel was installed on 15 February 1998.
Due to its exposed location, the sculpture was built to withstand winds of over 100 mph (160 km/h). Thus, foundations containing 600 tonnes (590 long tons; 660 short tons) of concrete anchor the sculpture to rock 70 feet (21 m) below. The sculpture was built at Hartlepool Steel Fabrications Ltd using COR-TEN weather-resistant steel. It was made in three parts—with the body weighing 100 tonnes (98 long tons; 110 short tons) and two wings weighing 50 tonnes (49 long tons; 55 short tons) each—then brought to its site by road. The components were transported in convoy—the body on a 48-wheel trailer—from their construction site in Hartlepool, up the A19 road to the installation site 28 miles (45 km) away; the nighttime journey took five hours and attracted large crowds.
The Angel aroused some controversy in British newspapers, at first, including a "Gateshead stop the statue" campaign, while local councillor Martin Callanan was especially strong in his opposition. However, it has since been considered to be a landmark for North East England and has been listed by one organisation as an "Icon of England". It has often been used in film and television to represent Tyneside, as are other local landmarks such as the Tyne Bridge and the Gateshead Millennium Bridge.
The sculpture is also humorously known by some local people as the "Gateshead Flasher", because of its location and appearance

up close. Those things are huge. And are no longer used. They sit there, artificial landmarks for the locals.
