Tokyo Tower (東京タワー Tōkyō tawā?) is a communications and observation tower located in Shiba Park, Minato, Tokyo, Japan. At 333 meters (1,091 ft), it is the tallest self-supporting steel structure in the world and the tallest artificial structure in Japan. The structure is an Eiffel Tower-inspired lattice tower that is painted white and international orange to comply with air safety regulations.
Built in 1958, the tower's main sources of revenue are tourism and antenna leasing. Over 150 million people have visited the tower since its opening. FootTown, a 4-story building located directly under the tower, houses museums, restaurants and shops. Departing from here, guests can visit two observation decks. The 2-story Main Observatory is located at 150 meters (492 ft), while the smaller Special Observatory reaches a height of 250 meters (820 ft).
The tower acts as a support structure for an antenna. Originally intended for television broadcasting, radio antennas were installed in 1961 and the tower is now used to broadcast both signals for Japanese media outlets such as NHK, TBS and Fuji TV. Japan's planned switch from analog to digital for all television broadcasting by July 2011 is problematic, however. Tokyo Tower's current height is not high enough to adequately support complete terrestrial digital broadcasting to the area. A taller digital broadcasting tower known as Tokyo Sky Tree is currently planned to open in 2011.

I found this at the edge of a recreation ground whilst looking for something else. At first I thought it was a railway tunnel air vent but there aren't any tunnels in the area. Also, whilst it seems circular, the other side is actually flat. So no idea, really.
Unusual several story tall abandoned structure found in rural Eastern Washington farming county.

This was taken whilst close to Olympic Park.
I think that the overcast sky and the pushing of the black levels have made this appear like something a bit shadowy and menacing (in a way).
I think that the cables help to give a good sense of depth.
I like that you also get a good idea of the size of these structures without having a person in the photo.
Shade structure for residential.

At around 4 pm the Riverside FD was toned out for the possible structure fire smoke showing from the building. PD got on scene secured a perimeter and evacuated some of the residents. Day crew in 1621 (engine out of riversides second house) along with 1614 and 1607 ( a LT who was in Sta 1) responded to the scene. Once on scene 1621 stretched one 1' 3/4. 1607 once on scene struck out a full still alarm. There was smoke showing from the rear of the building from both the second and first floor. But more importantly there was smoke coming from the basement. So they brought the line into the basement. When 1629 got on scene they were assigned ventilation. There was a problem on the roof though. Besides being steep the vent team had a very hard time getting through the roof, which was 4 shingles thick and a 1' 1/4 underneath that. And to add a cherry on top there was tons and tons of insulation which had to be pulled out. Also in one words of the FF operating the saw. "I was getting more smoke from the saw then the hole". While the attack was in the basement a second one was stretched just behind them, the attack team lost pressure in their line and the team behind them took the lead. It was all and all a quick knock...most of the fire damage was contained to the basement. The vent team was very lucky though when they made one of their holes, it was above the stairwell leading from the first to second floor which got a lot of smoke out. According to the FF in the basement which they could not see their hands in front of their faces, as soon as they vented the roof they gained Visibility. Pictured is 1629, 1621, and RPD 51
I like how unzoned this parking structure looks in the middle of this neighborhood. I assume it was built in the 70s or so

My friend Bridget and I went out adventuring one day and ended up among some abandoned ruins. I mean, anyone that knows us should not be surprised, we both love abandoned spaces. Anyway, that day I had my camera set up to capture in black, white, and green. This turned out to be the perfect setting for that adventure as it gives hints of color here and there. While exploring I found this round structure with the stark shadow of another structure being cast on it. So I had to capture it the best that I could.
This image was taken in JPG using only the settings in my camera, there was no post-processing or editing.
This whimsical 1937-built Château-style structure has sat unused since being moved a decade ago to get it out of the way of the Gardiner-Humber bridges expansion. In 2017 it will be transformed into an eatery and tourist information centre, having been waiting for the contract to expire at an adjacent nondescript concession (not seen, just to the right of the photo). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joy_Gas_Stations
