Structure design of Eco Galleria in Johor, Malaysia.
*Note: More pics of Architectural, Interior and Exterior Designs in my Architectural, Interior and Exterior Designs Album.
Electric power companies tend to build large and very heavy, structurally sound buildings because they sometimes contain elements like transformers that deal in very large amounts of energy. It is protection and strength, in case of a malfunction. Photograph taken in Sacramento, California.
A detail of the Academy of the Arts in Berlin, which is, in my belief, a wonderful architecture - unlike the newer building close to the Brandenburg Gate.
Also I love this tiny camera. Always to have with me, extremely fast to shoot with and still under my control.

S / He sitting on parking structure. When s/he flapped wings and hopped on edge towards me in a glare.. I stood my ground, snapped pic, sat down. We met a happy understanding of closeness at that point and shared each others space in peace and harmony.
Nature.. a most wonderful teacher.

I don't have an ID for this opuntia. We used to call any cactus that looked like this a Beaver-Tail, but that doesn't tell you much. It's always a beautiful plant, but it is particularly so when blooming, and when setting fruit.
Thanks for commenters identifying this cactus as Opuntia Microdasys Albispina.
Knowing the species, I looked it up in Wikipedia, and found this interesting tidbit: "Native to Mexico, naturalised in Kenya, Malawi, and Tanzania.[5] One reason for the success of O. microdasys in desert habitats - at home and as an introduction - is its efficient fog collection ability. The spines and hairs have the perfect structure and microstructure to capture and channel fog.[6]."
Victorian Bandstand/Sun Shelter on Dun Laoghaire East Pier, Dublin, Ireland
The Victorian Bandstand/shelter was first constructed in 1890 and has recently undergone extensive renovations.
Dun Laoghaire Pier is a popular place for walking, jogging and recreation.
As you drive into the monument this is one of the first vistas you see. The tall rock structure in the right foreground is known as the Flagpole. On Memorial day climbers go to the top and raise an American flag.

These small circular rock pools, only a few feet across, are built by local beach-goers. Resembling miniature loko (fishponds) of old, these modern-day constructions are built by fishermen to keep their catch alive. They also are used by families as a "kiddie pool" for toddlers.
From my series, "Pinhole Structures".

Concrete things with holes in them, at the edge of a Lincolnshire field. I don't know what these things are. There are several of them in one location, quite big, probably been there a long time and no obvious purpose. One on its own might have been an artwork I suppose. Get the sun behind one of them and you can make silly effects.
Mountain near Pontresina around 1905: from Grandpa Light & Structure's scrapbook. Peak is likely to be Piz Murtèl seen from Corvatsch (thanks Andreina for the identification).
Apparently, the first time these two aircraft types have ever been displayed together. In the foreground, the red de Havilland DH.88 Comet, a 1934 racing aircraft that won the England to Australia air-race in that year. Behind, the DH100 Venom, the first single-engined jet aircraft to serve with the RAF - thousands were built, and they were widely exported.
Maybe surprisingly, both aircraft are substantially made of wood. The Comet is almost entirely wooden, apart from the engines, undercarriage etc, and the Venom's cockpit nacelle is also made of wood. (The wings, tail and jet engine mounting are made from metal.)
The de Havilland company was expert in fabricating strong and light aero-structures, including complex double curvatures, from wood - often balsa sandwiched between plywood. The DH.98 Mosquito is probably their best known product.
The Vampire design dates from 1943, just 11 years after the Comet. It could fly at well over 500mph and entered service a few months after the end of the war. Over 3,200 Vampires were built, and many survive in flying condition today. This one is beautifully presented by the Royal Norwegian Air Force Historical Squadron.
The Comet, as a type, had a somewhat less successful career. Apart from winning the race, it was little use for much else, and only a handful were ever built. G-ACSS 'Grosvenor House' is owned and operated by The Shuttleworth Collection, based at Old Warden aerodrome in England, where the two aircraft are seen in the picture.
