At Richat Structure
The Richat Structure, also called Guelb er Richât (Arabic قلب الريشات Qalb ar-Rīšāt), the Eye of Africa,or Eye of the Sahara [circular reference] is a prominent circular feature in the Sahara's Adrar Plateau, near Ouadane, west–central Mauritania, Northwest Africa. It is an eroded dome, 40 kilometres (25 mi) in diameter, exposing sedimentary rock in layers which appear as concentric rings. Igneous rock is exposed inside and there are spectacular rhyolites and gabbros which have undergone hydrothermal alteration and a central megabreccia. The structure is also the location of exceptional accumulations of Acheulean archeological artifacts.
Eskandar Prison is an ancient domed structure apparently known by this name as a result of a reference in a Hafez poem. The complex contains a deep, circular, brick-lined pit almost 10 meters in diameter resembling an ancient dungeon found at the heart of the old. There is also a well and some nooks in the courtyard. It is alleged by some to have been built by Alexander to hold his captives during his conquest of Persia and alleged by others to have been built by the Persians to hold Alexander himself. Whatever the true story, the complete complex itself is almost certainly a later construction.
The dome of Eskandar Prison is made of raw clay and is decorated with plaster works and golden and azure watercolor. The noteworthy architectural features of the dome are traceable in other domes dating to the Mongolian period in Iran. Each side of the domed tower is almost 9 meters long and it rises almost 18 meters tall. There is little left of the inscriptions inside the dome but from what remains it appears to be kufic writings. The material used in much of the building is clay, however, it has been restored with bricks in the past few decades. Some steep stairs lead the way down into the dungeon although nowadays it is a beautiful room decorated with tables and red carpets and serves is a tea house.
Eskandar Prison is currently advertised as been built as a mosque and Ziaiyeh religious school and to have no connection to Alexander (although the reference is believed to have come from Hafez’s poetry. The original purpose of the building is unknown but it now serves as an Ethnographic Museum. Inside there is a detailed scaled model of the old city and a collection of labeled archaeological artifacts that were dug up around the city. What really brings the museum to life however is the staff of traditionally trained artisans who are on hand to show off their skills by working the old wood framed looms and throwing clay pots to demonstrate the crafts that made the city famous throughout Persia and along the old Silk Road to China.

Network Rail Driving van 9708 at the rear of the Structure Gauging Train, running from Derby RTC to Exeter Riverside on 1st June 2025. Seen between Warwick and Leamington Spa. Clearly it is out of gauge for some of the trees along the route!
The interior structure of Salvation Mountain is quite a wonder to behold. A combination of tree limbs, straw bale, plaster and paint keep the whole thing from falling down. A big rain might change things...
I finally finished rendering the bigger version of the "wasp nest". I rendered it during the day and at night I switched the pc to standby. But the rendering time is still incredible: 712:04:58.8
That's about 30 days... but it was worth it ;)

Connecting lines that may be horizontal can also be inside electrical wires. Also known as Plenum cabling, this makes connectivities between separate channels to actually telecommunication lairs or areas for working in ground via conduits, lead methods or areas for ceilings on every level. Riser Cabling is additionally generally known as up and down cabling. These connect between dens for telecommunications and tools. They are named riser cabling for the reason that these kinds rooms are normally located on other stories.
Model of the City Tower Project, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
1952-7 (unbuilt)
The City Tower was meant to become the seat of Philadelphia's municipal administration and a landmark, but it remained unbuilt. Its daring triangular structure of reinforced concrete was in large part determined by Anne Tyng's interest in space frames. In 1957 Kahn and Tyng created a model of the tower with nine main floors and three half-floors. With a total height of 616 feet the twisting tower would have offered 3,000,000 square feet of floor space and a maximum ceiling height of 55 feet for public spaces and assembly. Kahn envisioned the façade to be a lacy network of aluminium that reflected the sunlight.
In retrospect, the project stands out as a bold experiment in biotechnology that was to inspire Kisho Kurokawa and other proteagonists of Metabolism (A Japanese architectural movement that combined experimental thinking about architectural megastructures with those of organic biology and technology). It took decades until similar solutions were actually built.

Mechabrick was recently funded through Kickstarter. I've been busy designing vehicles and structures for potential use with the game.
Two structures that can be found in Neon City. One a simple apartment complex, with two penthouses on the top floor. The other is a tower run by a wealthy criminal organization who isn't afraid to flaunt their wealth and power.
A swift bike is parked out front. Nanofigure included for scale.

This structure necklace will make a statement and will enhance any look! It’s made out of recycled card boar which I coated with latex to make it water repellent (not waterproof) and then added some coats of gold leaf paper and linen in a stone beige colour, all sealed with a leather cord in a natural colour, it holds from a golden metal chain and it has a very easy to put and take off closure plus an extension chain to fit different neck sizes.
This is a short necklace and It’s very light.
Check my profile to see where you can find this and many more goodies!!
