The Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden is a nice way to spend the day if you are visiting Richmond Virginia.
Dalian, China, April 2008
Not a workers beehive, as someone mentioned below, or at least that wasn't how the property developers marketed it, it may become a workers beehive in time...right now though this is still a "luxury" middle-class beehive (with chinese characteristics). I've seen some of the flats inside it, polished floors, hardwood furniture (tsk tsk) etc...quite nice though.
So I was just looking at this building from my own rather large building and trying to count how many units there were, as you do, and it must be around 600 in that single block, and each unit is family sized. That's potentially 2000 people in one building. The building I live in, though less-wall like, has 53 floors, so that's another equivalent of a small town in Scotland.
China's huge rural to urban shift is actually only half-way through, it's down from 80 % rural in 1980 to 55 % rural or thereabouts today, but the final target is 30 % rural, and with such large population living on such little farmable land (two-thirds of China is mountain or desert), this is the only future for Chinese cities, there won't be US-style suburbia, there can't be. Eating up arable land might be a concern for cities built on a plain, but Dalian for one just doesn't have space full-stop, it's surrounded by sea and mountains, it's difficult to see how it's going to double its population to 6 or 7 million without stringing it out for 100 km. The only way is to knock down and build higher. Well, the locals do call it the Hong Kong of the North. (note, i met no Hong Kong-ese referring to themselves as the Dalian of the south...) And Dalian is only a "second-tier" Chinese city, somewhere around the 10th to 15th biggest, so consider this scenario repeated all over, and in the likes of Shanghai and Chongqing, on steroids...
This packed-in high-rise living is already normal throughout developed parts of Asia like Singapore, South Korea, and Hong-Kong, as mentioned, but will it become normal for the bulk of the world, not through choice, as in Europe's modernist experiments of the 1960s, but through necessity ? How will this change humanity is as a whole ? How will countries that have already developed in a low-density fashion adapt to the new era ?
Anyway, I'm away tonight for a short break to Qingdao, a city in the neighbouring province. No doubt photos will be taken...

The closure for the bag is magnetic, with a small magnet behind the felt. This is a scrapbooking embellishment from BasicGrey.

The cold storage building for Union Storage and Transfer in Fargo. The building to the right originally was a creamery but is now home to a brewery.
Operated by Bulgaria Air on behalf of TUI Airlines Belgium.
I've noticed more all white ACMI Lease operated aircraft than ever this year.
First flown with the Airbus test registration F-WWDR, this aircraft was delivered to ICBC Financial Leasing and leased to InterJet, Mexico as XA-CBA in Sep-16. It was returned to the lessor at the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic in Mar-20 and stored at Goodyear, AZ, USA. (InterJet ceased operations in Dec-20).
It was re-registered OE-INV in Sep-10 and remained stored at Goodyear until it was ferried to Sofia, Bulgaria for further storage in Dec-20.
The aircraft was leased to Bulgaria Air as LZ-FBI at the end of Jun-21. It was wet-leased to Condor Flugdienst at the end of Apr-24, in all white livery with a green striped tail. It returned to Bulgaria Air in Nov-24.
It was wet-leased to TUI Airlines Belgium in Apr-25 for the summer season and is expected to return to Bulgaria Air at the end of Oct-25. Current, updated 24-Oct-25.

This will be the new home for some of my sorted Lego.
I already know 10 of these will not be enough for the currently sorted part of my collection, but once I have filled them I will have a better idea of how many more to order.

The fortress-like Security Storage Company warehouse was located on 15th Street NW, next to the old St. Augustine's Church on the west side of the block between L and M Streets. Originally built in 1890 as the storage department of the American Security and Trust Company, the building was expanded multiple times to create the hulking edifice seen on this postcard. The bank spun off the Security Storage Company as an independent business in 1906. The warehouse was demolished in 1965 to make way for an expansion of the Washington Post company's headquarters.
New LEGO room!!I also plan to put in suspended track lighting all around the room to both light up my display/storage spaces and my building area. The shelves are not actually full yet, I just threw a few things in there for photos which I hadn't yet taken apart.
