the first culture available to everybody and entirely governed by what the people want. The most terrifying thing is what the people do want ;-(

If anyone knows the name of the artist / if you are the artist, please inform me. my assessment: made in about 1963
The structure of the tower is unconventional, based on a triangle whose corners are growing up in steel columns, consisting of three tubes with a double steel wall, filled with concrete. They support nine 'pods' and three decks for transmitting equipment. One of the three pillars extends considerably higher than the others, and this provides both the necessary height for some antennas, along with the structure's rocket and gantry appearance. In its time it was a unique technology, which authors have patented.
The tower stands 216 metres (709 feet) high, altitude of the observatory is 93 m, the hotel room altitude is 70 m, restaurants altitude is 66 m, with a capacity of 180 people. Three elevators transport passengers at a speed of 4 m/s.
Three of the pods, positioned directly beneath the decks at the top of the tower, are used for equipment related to the tower's primary function and are inaccessible to the public. The remaining six pods are open to visitors, providing a panoramic view of Prague and the surrounding area. The lower three, approximately half-way up the length of the pillars at 63 metres (207 feet), house a recently refurbished restaurant and café bar.
Construction of the tower cost $19 million. It weighs 11,800 tons and is also used as a meteorological observatory. It is a member of the World Federation of Great Towers
The former BBC Television Centre, Wood Lane, White City.
Designed in a modernist style by architect Graham Dawbarn and opened in 1960. The BBC moved their operations out of building in 2013 and following renovations, it reopened in 2017 as a mixed use development which includes office space, residential apartments, leisure services as well as rertaining three TV production studios.
Vista de la part principal de la Torre de Collserola, des del Tibidabo. A la part inferior es veu la plataforma d'observació de la torre, que tinc pendent de visitar!
Aquest cumul d'antenes de comunicacions talment sembla una floridura de fongs.

===============================================
The Torre de Collserola television tower seen from the Tibidabo mountain. It was designed by Sir Norman Foster, and built in 1991.
Below two levels of TV antennae you could see the glass-covered observation platform.
The wolf in the zoo is moving about in a narrow cage while doing a
rough breath all day long. He seems to have gotten irritated very much.
動物園の狼は、狭い檻の中を一日中ハッハッハッと荒い息をしながら動き回っている。じっとしていられないのだろう。険しい顔をしていて、とても苛立っているように見える。
狼は人間になつかない(人間が与える餌を食べない)ので飼うのは無理と何かで読んだ事があるが、動物園で飼われているし、木下大サーカスで猛獣使いのショーに出ているのを観た事がある。その猛獣使いは虎やライオン、豹など10頭位の肉食獣に芸を仕込んでいた。猫科の大型の猛獣は猛獣使いの指示通りに動いているように見えたが、列の後ろの方の狼やハイエナ(ジャッカル?)の類いは何となくうろうろしてるだけのように見えた。
叔父さんから戦争中、ソ連に派兵されていた時、朝起きたら部隊の軍馬が狼に全滅させれていたという話を聞いた事がある。どの馬も喉の辺りを一噛みで絶命させれていたそうだ。
Something to believe in ...

Everybody's rushing around,
Trying to keep a hold
On some piece of mind
All the time
And somebody's lookin' around
Tryin' to find
Something to believe in
To believe in
All the things they promised
They're always lies
Well it's something
Oh it's something to believe in
You know it's something
Every little once in a while
You take a chance to win
On a turning card
But it may be hard
We could be fooled on the merry-go-round
But i'm trying to find
Something to believe in
To believe in
All the things they promised
You know they always lied
Clannad
