The Philip Johnson-designed, 780-foot-tall Bank of America Center rises into the sky over Downtown Houston.

The Downtown Dallas skyline rises over an abandoned parking garage originally built for the now-demolished Reunion Arena.
Largely because of poor soil quality and stability, the motto of the engineers who built the Washington D.C. metropolitan area rapid transit system (Metro) was "Deeper is Cheaper." Some stations are as deep underground as skyscrapers are high, and the escalator system is the most massive of any subway system in the world.
In 1855, following California's admission into the United States, the government built this lighthouse on top of a 420' cliff on Point Loma to mark the entrance to San Diego Bay.
At the time, this was the highest elevation lighthouse in the U.S. inventory. Unfortunately, at that height, the fog and low clouds associated with the marine layer typically obscured the light from view by the mariners at sea, below. As a result, a new structure was built much lower (88' above sea level), and this light was extinguished in 1891.
Now a part of Cabrillo National Monument, the lighthouse is a museum operated by the National Park Service. This image captures the light in the mid-day under the higher clouds that occur along the coast, but typically don't appear inland this time of year.
A staircase composition with lines to each of the four corners (German: "Eckenläufer") is what you usually strive for, but it rarely works out.
The Port House is one of Antwerp’s architectural jewels. This funky and innovative building is the headquarters of the Antwerp Port Authority that accommodates over 500 employees. The striking and contemporary superstructure in the shape of a diamond is a monumental design of the famous Zaha Hadid Architects.
Technical note: The building is ~50m high, so I had to decide whether to retain the original shape of the building or avoid converging lines (not having access to a tilt-shift lens).

Mit Wilhelm Hallen wird ein denkmalgeschütztes Gebäude-Ensemble mit mehr als 20.000 qm Nutzungsfläche der alten Eisengießerei Winkelhof in Berlin-Reinickendorf bezeichnet.
Die roten Backsteinornamente und das Eisenfachwerk, über denen sich aneinandergereihte Sheddächer in den Himmel strecken, entstanden zwischen 1898 bis 1918 und erfuhren seither kaum Veränderungen. Seit der Schließung der Eisengießerei im Jahr 2014 blieb der Bestand unberührt, sodass durch die verrußten Glasscheiben das Tageslicht noch heute so fällt, wie der Maurermeister Malingriaux es vor einhundert Jahren gesehen hatte.
Vom 10.-18.9.2022 waren die Wilhelm Hallen ein Veranstaltungsort der Berlin Art Week.
Wilhelm Hallen is a listed building ensemble with more than 20,000 square meters of usable space of the old Winkelhof iron foundry in Berlin-Reinickendorf.
The red brick ornaments and the iron framework, above which a row of shed roofs stretch into the sky, were created between 1898 and 1918 and have hardly changed since then. Since the iron foundry closed in 2014, the existing building has remained untouched, so that daylight still falls through the sooty panes of glass as the master mason Malingriaux saw it a hundred years ago.
From September 10th to 18th, 2022, the Wilhelm Hallen were a venue of the Berlin Art Week.

The current lighthouse was built in 1858, and following a lightning strike to the original, the current keeper's house was built in 1895.
