30 Interlocking Trapezoids 120 units
3-fold view.
Macro-polygonal structures with n-fold symmetry can seemingly have at least n+1 sided polygonal microstructure frames, but unsurprisingly, maximizing edge width demands that the microstructural frames are non-regular. Phrased otherwise, the paper proportions on a compound of 30 squares can be a lot wider if you allow them to not be squares, but rather trapezoids, parallelograms, etc. I designed a compound of 30 parallelograms years ago, so this compound of 30 trapezoids is nothing exceptionally notable, but it is still a solid addition to the series. Modelling the exterior vertices with paper consuming locks results in the units having very flat dihedral angles, hence leading to some bending, in spite of the fact that the frames are actually quite loose at these proportions. As a result, I might revise the exterior vertices in a future iteration.
Designed by me.
Folded out of copy paper (3 different paper proportions).
Unknown abandoned structure, possibly old East Nicolaus High School campus, East Nicolaus, Sutter County, California.
Not much information is available for this location, from research it appears that this structure and the surrounding properties may have been part of the East Nicolaus High School prior to a large grass fire burned it beyond repair in 1964 (some references say the fire took place in 1960).

This outstanding structure is situated just north of the Main Street in Tupelo, Mississippi. It was built in 1904 by M. T. Lewman & Co. of Louisville using the designs of the prominent courthouse architect Patrick Henry Weathers. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.
Tupelo is a city of roughly 36,000 people, making it the largest community in northeastern Mississippi. It is also the hometown of the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Aaron Presley.

Trying to find a structure like "Strange Fruit"
I really like the lighting and background gradient in this one.

A standing cross is a free standing upright structure, usually of stone, mostly erected during the medieval period (mid 10th to mid 16th centuries AD). Standing crosses served a variety of functions. In churchyards they served as stations for outdoor processions, particularly in the observance of Palm Sunday. Elsewhere, standing crosses were used within settlements as places for preaching, public proclamation and penance, as well as defining rights of sanctuary. Standing crosses were also employed to mark boundaries between parishes, property, or settlements. A few crosses were erected to commemorate battles. Some crosses were linked to particular saints, whose support and protection their presence would have helped to invoke. Crosses in market places may have helped to validate transactions. After the Reformation, some crosses continued in use as foci for municipal or borough ceremonies, for example as places for official proclamations and announcements; some were the scenes of games or recreational activity. Standing crosses were distributed throughout England and are thought to have numbered in excess of 12,000. However, their survival since the Reformation has been variable, being much affected by local conditions, attitudes and religious sentiment. In particular, many cross-heads were destroyed by iconoclasts during the 16th and 17th centuries. Less than 2,000 medieval standing crosses, with or without cross-heads, are now thought to exist. The oldest and most basic form of standing cross is the monolith, a stone shaft often set directly in the ground without a base. The most common form is the stepped cross, in which the shaft is set in a socket stone and raised upon a flight of steps; this type of cross remained current from the 11th to 12th centuries until after the Reformation. Where the cross-head survives it may take a variety of forms, from a lantern-like structure to a crucifix; the more elaborate examples date from the 15th century. Much less common than stepped crosses are spire-shaped crosses, often composed of three or four receding stages with elaborate architectural decoration and/or sculptured figures; the most famous of these include the Eleanor crosses, erected by Edward I at the stopping places of the funeral cortege of his wife, who died in 1290. Also uncommon are the preaching crosses which were built in public places from the 13th century, typically in the cemeteries of religious communities and cathedrals, market places and wide thoroughfares; they include a stepped base, buttresses supporting a vaulted canopy, in turn carrying either a shaft and head or a pinnacled spire. Standing crosses contribute significantly to our understanding of medieval customs, both secular and religious, and to our knowledge of medieval parishes and settlement patterns. All crosses which survive as standing monuments, especially those which stand in or near their original location, are considered worthy of protection.
Although the shaft and head are missing from the standing cross in All Saints' churchyard, the monument is reasonably well-preserved and is important for being in its original location.
Shatterconed sandstone in Ontario, Canada.
Shattercones are striated conical structures in rocks formed by a powerful shock wave or pressure front moving through during an impact event. They have a three-dimensional cone-like structure, with the points of the cones directed toward the shock wave origination site. Undisturbed shatterconed rocks will have the apex of the cones pointing toward the direction of the incoming object (i.e., upward - toward space).
The host rocks here consist of ~2.3 to 2.4 billion year old fluvial sandstones of the Mississagi Formation. Notice that the shattercones are pointing downward, indicating that the impact event also overturned the beds.
This outcrop is in the Sudbury Impact Structure, the site for one of the largest impact events in Earth history. The impact structure, located in southeastern Ontario, is ovoid in shape, about 37 miles long by 19 miles wide. It was originally ~circular, but has since been laterally compressed by tectonic deformation. Before erosion and structural deformation, the structure may have been between 60 and 120 miles across. The impacting object is estimated to have been about 6 miles in size. The impact event itself occurred at 1.85 billion years ago. At that time, this part of Ontario was ocean. Computer modeling indicates that the splash wave generated by the Sudbury Impact may have reached about 30 miles high and generated a ~300 feet high megatsunami that radiated away from the target area for up to ~1800 miles. The impact punched a hole down into underlying mantle rocks.
Abundant evidence indicates that the Sudbury, Ontario area was indeed the site of an impact long ago. This includes impact breccias, shattercones, and extensive syn-formational sulfide mineralization. The sulfides are rich enough for mining to occur. In fact, the Sudbury Mining District targets the # 1 most productive nickel deposit on Earth.

On June 17, 2026, Los Angeles Fire Department crews responded to a fire at a large cold-storage facility at 1400 S Los Palos Street in Boyle Heights. Firefighters found fire visible from the roof of the 1,000' x 500' structure and initially engaged in offensive suppression before a suspected ammonia leak prompted a shift to a defensive posture.
The building's size prevented effective ground access, leading crews to deploy helicopters for water drops, an approach not typically used in structure fires. LAFD fire companies, hazmat specialists, drone pilots, and USAR teams coordinated extensively with partner agencies over several days of suppression and overhaul operations.
The incident prompted evacuations and shelter-in-place orders for the surrounding community, along with extended air and water quality monitoring as crews worked to bring the fire under control.
