One of the most beautiful lakes ever
There where few outdoor structures, which included this one! Long grass roots where growing from every crack in the concrete surface!
This revolving restaurant design was prepared for submission to the Chicago World’s Fair Centennial committee. According to the magazine article: “The structure is spiral in effect with promenades and spaces for indoor and outdoor dining rooms. Both building and column revolve once each half hour, thus affording an opportunity for sightseeing while dining or strolling on the platforms. The model provides space inside the column for elevators, while at the base are foyers and a space for parking of automobiles.”
Another from the smashing Dalston Show 2024.

An old Warehouse in Copenhagen, Denmark, converted into the Admiral Hotel.
Set in a heritage-listed 1780s building, this waterfront hotel is next to Amalienborg Royal Palace and opposite Copenhagen Opera House.
Two hundred-year-old Pomeranian pine beams, brickwork and archways add a distinct charm to Copenhagen Admiral.
The gourmet restaurant, Salt, is designed by Conran & Partners.
Within 5 minutes' walk is Nyhavn, where Copenhagen Harbour's water buses stop. Kongens Nytorv Metro Station is a similar distance from Copenhagen Admiral Hotel. Strøget shopping street is less than 10 minutes' walk away.

This is a B/W photograph taken inside the prehistoric Cave at Theopetra, Greece (general inner view). It was closed to visitors for several years, but on April 2, 2025 one had the pleasure to walk through its gate again and enter; it has remained open to the members of the public ever since. The archaeological finds include items of the Paleolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic Periods.
A stone Wall or barrier dating from 23,300 (± 800) yrs ago was found at the cave’s entrance; this wall is, therefore, the most ancient man-made structure on Earth, for it was built before Göbekli Tepe (c. 9,500 BC, Turkey), before the Pyramids (c.3,200 BC, Egypt) etc. Human footprints within the Cave were dated by thermoluminescence to ca. 120,000 yrs ago (Middle Palaeolithic Period aka Old Stone Age). Hearths and human burials were also found. Hunters-gatherers’ human settlement in this prehistoric Cave began in the Middle Paleolithic Period and continued without interruption until the end of the Neolithic Period (c. 3000 BC, aka New Stone Age).
The cave’s entrance measures 56 x 10 ft (17 x 3 m); the Cave itself measures 5,382 sq.ft. (500 sq.m). Theopetra is an immense limestone rock formation 3 miles (4.7 km) away from Meteora, Greece. The oblong landmark is 2,625 ft (800 m) long, 902 ft (275 m) wide, 656 ft (200 m) high and visible from afar. Theopetra means “God’s stone” in Greek.
The photo features a striking nighttime panorama of Shanghai's Lujiazui area, highlighting the city's architectural prowess with towering skyscrapers adorned in colorful lights. Prominent structures such as the Oriental Pearl Tower and the Jin Mao Tower stand out against the dark sky, while the red Monument to the People's Heroes adds a splash of color to the urban landscape. The steel truss of Waibaidu bridge in the foreground provides a sense of scale and depth, leading the viewer's eye across the water towards the cityscape. The overall mood is one of awe-inspiring modernity and cultural significance, encapsulating the dynamic energy of China's financial hub.

This view was taken from the clock tower atop the Old Post Office in Washington DC.
It looks south-west across the National Mall (the grass and trees in the lower foreground), Jefferson Avenue NW and the US Department of Agriculture Administration Building out across the Potomac River to Ronald Reagan National Airport and Alexandria VA beyond.
The silhouetted conical structure to the right and beyond the airport's control tower is the George Washington Masonic National Memorial. On the far right is part of the Crystal City complex.
To the left of the image can be seen a few spans of the Woodrow Wilson Memorial Bridge carrying I-95 and the Beltway across the Potomac.
Because it's difficult to spot, I've put a note on the image showing a jet airliner approaching Runway 010 at National Airport. It's passing hotels in Alexandria at an altitude below their rooftops. In the 1990s those hotels had triple-glazed windows to keep out the noise!
