Appleton Tower at night - this incredibly ugly, tall building was part of Edinburgh University's still controversial programme of demolitions and rebuilding from the 1960s, which was a swathe of George Square's handsome Georgian buildings destroyed for ugly concrete, tall structure like this.
The original plan was for much more of this around this area, but fortunately that didn't happen. As is common with a lot of this Brutalist architecture, the concrete has not weathered the decades well, and the exterior all had to be renovated and replaced a few years ago.
The ugliness of the structure compared to much of the rest of the city is legendary, with it being something of a running joke that the best thing about being in the tower is not being able to see it on the skyline then! However, sometimes even the ugliest, modern sructures look better in a monochrome night shot!
Scientific study: “COVID-19 lockdown effects on adolescent brain structure suggest accelerated maturation that is more pronounced in females than in males”.

“Since accelerated brain maturation has been associated with increased risk for the development of neuropsychiatric and behavioral disorders, these findings highlight the importance of providing ongoing monitoring and support to individuals who were adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Like we were told during covid: follow the science!
Galatians 2:18 “Why, if I am now rebuilding that structure of sin which I had demolished, I am thereby constituting myself a transgressor.”
Time for some tourist attraction photos. The Eye has been done to death, but I quite liked the spiky bridge structures around it.

I'm stampolina and I love to take photos of stamps. Thanks for visiting this pages on flickr.
I'm neither a typical collector of stamps, nor a stamp dealer. I'm only a stamp photograph. I'm fascinated of the fine close-up structures which are hidden in this small stamp-pictures. Please don't ask of the worth of these stamps - the most ones have a worth of a few cents or still less.
By the way, I wanna say thank you to all flickr users who have sent me stamps! Great! Thank you! Someone sent me 3 or 5 stamps, another one sent me more than 20 stamps in a letter. It's everytime a great surprise for me and I'm everytime happy to get letters with stamps inside from you!
thx, stampolina
For the case you wanna send also stamps - it is possible. (...I'm pretty sure you'll see these stamps on this photostream on flickr :) thx!

A setting looking to the southeast while taking in views at the Trestle Vista Observation Site in Lincoln National Forest. I like how the bridge swinging across this canyon became a leading line and way to create a layered look in the forest to my front.
Dense ice has encroached upon the entire surface of this pond, now thick enough to walk on, at lease around the margins. The greenish color is caused by it's density, containing very little trapped air within it's structure.
The first structure seen by visitors arriving at the complex is the massive Henry Ford Museum. Covering 49,000 square meters, or about twelve acres, this structure is one of the largest museums in the country and contains a staggering variety of attractions and exhibits. The main entrance of the museum is a careful recreation of Independence Hall in Philadelphia, flanked by a symmetrical procession of brick colonial-style structures. When the museum was being designed, Mr. Ford sent architects to Philadelphia to study and measure the original Independence Hall, and while there, they discovered that one of the windows was actually off-center. It had been placed one brick too far to one side. The architects told Mr. Ford what they had found and informed him that they would not make the same mistake — and he instructed them to recreate it exactly like the original, misplaced window and all.
