Always reminds me of a rocket waiting to go!!

The real landmark of Macau is the Ruins of St. Paul,
the remains of the Church of the Mother of God - part of the College of Saint Paul founded in 1594 and lasting until 1762. Missionaries to spread Christianity in China and Japan were also trained here.
It was considered the first Western-style university here in the "Far East". St. Paul's Church, built in 1580, was destroyed twice (1595 and 1601). From 1602 to 1640 it was rebuilt by Chinese and Japanese craftsmen.
From 1762 the building was abandoned after the Jesuits withdrew.
From 1800 the church was used by the military.
It fell completely victim to a fire in 1835.
Only the facade, foundations and the front entrance steps are left.
Together with the historic center they were included in the UNESCO World Heritage in 2005.
Cabot Tower a historical landmark located on Signal Hill a National Historic site in the City of St. John's on the Avalon Peninsula in Newfoundland and Labrador Canada
Cabot Tower is a tower in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, situated on Signal Hill. Construction of the tower began in 1898 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of John Cabot's discovery of Newfoundland, and Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee.
In 1901, Guglielmo Marconi received the first trans-Atlantic wireless message at a position near the tower, the letter "S" in Morse Code sent from Poldhu, Cornwall, United Kingdom. Cabot Tower is now the centre of the Signal Hill National Historic Site of Canada,] with walking trails and an interpretation centre.
Located at the highest point of Signal Hill, overlooking the city and the ocean, Cabot Tower is an example of late-Gothic Revival style. Built of irregularly coursed red sandstone, it is composed of a two-story, 30 foot, square structure with a three-story, 50 foot octagonal tower that stands on the southeast corner of the building. The corners are buttressed at the first floor level and further emphasized through the use of heavier blocks of stone. On the main body of the building, at the top of the second storey level, is a line of repeating pattern like an exaggerated dentil row or inverted crenelations. The attached tower, which houses the main entrance, is very plain with a double string course marking the divisions between second and third storeys and heavy corbel tables marking the eight corners of the turret at the flared upper level. The windows on both the corner turret and the body of the tower proper are rectangular and set under heavy stone lintels.
The architect of Cabot Tower, William Howe Greene, was a prominent St. John's architect and an associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects. Wikipedia

The Saarpolygon is a memorial to the coal mining in the Saar region, which finally ended in June 2012. The large accessible sculpture stands on the Duhamel slagheap in Ensdorf, which rises about 150 metres above the surrounding Saartal valley.
The walkable monument is about 30 metres high. The 35-metre-long transverse section is accessed from both sides by 132 steps at a height of 25 metres. The viewing platform weighs around 60 tons. The Saarpolygon is designed in such a way that it has a different shape from each direction: rectangular archway, triangle standing on the top or base, cross with horizontal line. In the ground plan it has the shape of a Z.
147 designs were submitted in the competition of ideas for the artistic implementation - the winner was the Berlin architect duo Katja Pfeiffer and Oliver Sachse.
Their design of a large walk-in sculpture, which "as a symbol of change in an abstract language of form traces a variety of mining motifs", is intended to form a gateway into the future in the eyes of the beholder. The formal language of the puristic steel grid construction is intended to express the inseparability of origin and future in the country and to show the classic connection of coal, steel and energy in Saarland.

Das Saarpolygon ist ein Denkmal zur Erinnerung an den im Juni 2012 endgültig beendeten Steinkohlebergbau im Saarrevier. Die begehbare Großplastik steht auf der Bergehalde Duhamel in Ensdorf, die sich rund 150 Meter über das umliegende Saartal erhebt. Das begehbare Denkmal ist rund 30 Meter hoch. Zu dem rund 35 Meter überspannenden Querstück führen von beiden Seiten genau 132 Stufen in 25 Meter Höhe. Die Aussichts-plattform wiegt rund 60 Tonnen. Das Saarpolygon ist so gestaltet, dass es aus jeder Richtung eine andere Form hat: rechteckiger Torbogen, auf der Spitze oder der Basis stehendes Dreieck, Kreuz mit Querstrich. Im Grundriss hat es die Form eines Z.
Im Ideenwettstreit zur künstlerischen Umsetzung wurden 147 Entwürfe eingereicht- Sieger war das Berliner Architektenduo Katja Pfeiffer und Oliver Sachse. Ihr Entwurf einer begehbaren Großskulptur, die „als Symbol des Wandels in abstrakter Formensprache vielgestaltige Bergbaumotive nachzeichnet“, soll in den Augen des Betrachters ein Tor in die Zukunft bilden. Die Formensprache der puristischen Stahlgitterkonstruktion soll die Untrennbarkeit von Herkunft und Zukunft im Lande zum Ausdruck bringen und die klassische Verbundenheit von Kohle, Stahl und Energie im Saarland zeigen.
Die Hafenverwaltung / Port-Authority in Antwerpen mit einem Reiter von Zahah Hadid, die man auch am MAS vom Stadthafenbecken, Godefriduskai aus sehen kann.
Ich habe das Gebäude noch nie im Kontext gezeigt gesehen, und deshalb nie ein Größe-Gefühl bekommen, deshalb veröffentliche ich für euch dieses Foto. Es liegt quasi im Niemandsland in einer chaotischen Industriebrache und ohne jedweden Bezug zur Umgebung an der Shelde, wo ständig etwas Neues gebaut wird.
Auf dem Hinweg begleitete uns die "Kakophonie" einer über Kilometer extrem laut zu hörenden Schlag-Ramme. die Spundwände in eines der Hafenbecken verbrachte, um vor Wasser geschützt Fundamente einbringen zu können.
Die von den Gebäuden verschieden stark zurückhallenden Echos verschleierten den Ursprungsort und machten das Aufsuchen des futuristischen Bauwerks noch surrealer.
Am Kai liegt ein, mehr oder weniger, schrottreifes, belgisches Marineboot, amscheined ist die belgische Marine in einem ähnlichen desolaten Zustand, wie unsere Marine und unser Heer. ... ;-) ...

After dropping my oldest daughter, Cassandra, off at the airport, the (now) smaller clan took some time out to visit a famous Saint Louis landmark: the Gateway Arch.
Pictured is my youngest daughter, Makayla, strolling beneath the metal behemoth. For the next visit, we're considering dressing Makayla as a Leprechaun.
After a long wait of wanting to go here we finally went. The weather said it will start clouding over as the sun starts to set. The beech was very busy but managed to take this while it was quite. Just a few seagull streaks in the sea instead.
