Back when I took this photo, I had no idea what was being built. I now know it was the new public library in Perth. It's quite an interesting structure.
After the Bennington tornado became fully rain wrapped, we dropped back on it a bit. This was primarily because storms like this can tend to cycle and drop a new tornado further south (potentially closer to us) but also to check out its structure.

I'm fascinated by architectural structures - here two tall buildings - that combine to make a new unique structure.

To finish off the Craigellachie Tunnel set, here's a striking shot of the northern portal, looking through to the retaining wall and bridge at the southern end. In order to capture the tunnel looking as bright as it does here, I did an initial light paint around the portal, followed by taking a walk through, swinging the torch as I went. I kept going in that manner until I'd walked the bridge at the other side. Despite it being quite windy, the ferns haven't suffered as much motion blur as they have in some of the shorter exposures I took at this point.
Just as a quick recap about the UK's most northerly tunnel, it's 68 yards in length and sits on a significant ledge above the River Spey but below the A95. The lining consists of stone along the side walls and brick across the crown and the southern approach is shored up by a substantial brick retaining wall and to bridge the cliff the railway runs half way down, there's a half bridge in place. All in all, there's enough to see here to warrant a visit if you're ever passing by, although it doesn't really justify a 300 mile round trip. With that said, we did spend the day looking at various other bridges and former stations so if you plan this as only being part of your day then it's well worth a look.

Glowing in the distance, mysterious structures loomed. Curiosity got the better of me, as I cut through the dense palm forest. It was a cloudless night, the moon was high in the sky, providing just enough light for me to follow a small path. Blood thirsty mosquitoes were also out in numbers, attacking every part of my body that was not covered.
As I got closer and closer, it became apparent to me how huge these structures were. Some were as tall as 50 metres, towering over the palm trees surrounding them. "What are their purpose? Who constructed them?", were the question I had in my head. Images of 'Night-Elves' from WOW came into my mind. I must be going crazy! The forest thinned out and a clearing appeared just at the base of one of the towers. I approached it with caution and looked up. This was what I saw: www.flickr.com/photos/jcheaphotography/7861652614/sizes/k...
Above was my feeble attempt to add a little adventure into my life. Do not worry! Accessing to the supertrees grove is very easy, it does not require you to cut through some forest and there are well lit concrete paths to follow. The mosquito part is quite true though! You could even enjoy the view from the OCBC skyway for a fee of 5 SGD. There is also a light show every night, which I find quite disappointing due to the lack of special effects or great lighting.

Novare Group develops USD 45 to 75 million apartment complexes in cities throughout the United States, including projects completed, in design, or under construction in 17 locations. The prototypical project is a 23-story, 320-unit complex with street-level retail space. Stanley D. Lindsey and Associates modifies the design for each location based on local building ordinances, geology, seismicity, and wind forces.
The ability to reuse the 3D model for multiple locations helps to roll out ongoing projects within tight deadlines. RAM Structural System and RAM Concept allow changes to be made quickly and provide updated designs to the developer, architect, and contractor. RAM ensures a safe, efficient, and functional design. The cumulative savings in design, development, and construction costs result in more affordable accommodations for the end user.
I'm not sure how to call this structure, but there are four of them: two at each end of the Maria Kristina zubia (Maria Cristina bridge)
