The Turning Torso building in Malmoe, Sweden. This is not an office building.. but an apartement building like any other.

The tower reaches a height of 190 metres (623 feet) and it is the second tallest residential building in Europe.
This picture is the result of, and marks a turn-around in, my degradation from trained athlete to photography nerd.
The road to Clingman's Dome ends 1/2 mile from the actual summit. Deb wasn't feeling well and decided to stay in the car, but I was hoping the summit might actually be above the clouds and present some type of good and/or unusual view. So I left her to nap in the car, and I walked up.
It's a smooth but steep walk. Add to that the 6,600+ foot altitude perhaps, and I was sucking wind as I got to the summit. I've spent the vast majority of 55 years within 1,000 feet of sea level, but I think it was more poor conditioning than altitude. And the legs that once propelled me on competitive bike rides in the most mountainous terrain in New England, New York, and Pennsylvania felt absolutely pointless down there, all rubbery and jiggly.
I got to the summit without stopping to rest solely on willpower. I took a few pictures of the fogged-in observation platform, and headed back down. On the way down, I was breathing easier thanks to the downward slope, but the legs were still looking for any excuse to allow myself to stop. My brain sent out a report of this vision beside the trail, and the whole body stopped almost involuntarily.
That was horrible. After the Blue Ridge trip, I began exercising in the morning again. Recently, I've upped the intensity and the load enough that I feel comfortable dumping the "exercising" term in favor of "training". I'm very happy to be recording definite progress.
At the end of the Nantahala Gorge excursion, the locomotive runs around the train to couple up to opposite end.
So we pull up for dinner, and of course my hubby spots this viper with such a beautful shine to it. We are out there snapping away, the guy that owned it must of thought us strange, be he was nice anyway. I'm not really convinced my husband was drooling because he was thinking of dinner or this car. Shot in birmingham parking lot of
