I always park in the garage whenever I have to pick someone up at the airport, rather than keep circling around the terminal. I had a few minutes to kill, so I got some quick shots.
This is TIA's control tower. My grandfather worked for the engineering company that built the airport back in 1971 and became head of the company in the mid-80s. He was on the cover of an engineering magazine, posing in front of the control tower. I believe the company went on to build Airside A in 1995.

Sorry I can't skip this one, the light was lovely
Tower Bridge (built 1886–1894) is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in London which crosses the River Thames. It is close to the Tower of London, from which it takes its name, and has become an iconic symbol of London.
The bridge consists of two towers tied together at the upper level by means of two horizontal walkways, designed to withstand the horizontal forces exerted by the suspended sections of the bridge on the landward sides of the towers. The vertical component of the forces in the suspended sections and the vertical reactions of the two walkways are carried by the two robust towers. The bascule pivots and operating machinery are housed in the base of each tower. The bridge's present colour scheme dates from 1977, when it was painted red, white and blue for Queen Elizabeth II's silver jubilee. Originally it was painted a mid greenish-blue colour.

NO. 993 WATTS TOWERS OF SIMON RODIA - The Watts Towers are perhaps the nation's best known work of folk art sculpture. Location: 1765 East 107th St, Los Angeles
The Towers of Simon Rodia in Watts, more commonly known as simply the Watts Towers, were constructed using simple tile setting tools by an Italian immigrant named Sabato (Simon) Rodia. Rodia was born in 1879, as was Albert Einstein. He came to the United States at age 14 beginning his life here in America in and around the coal mines of Pittsburgh. PA. The sculptures resulting from Rodia's solitary labor of over 33 years are the greatest work completed by a single individual using simple tile setting tools!
Located in downtown Lansing, Michigan, the Boji Tower with its distinct Art Deco style stands as the tallest building in the city (345’ tall according to Wikipedia).

I will always know this tower as The Michigan Nation Bank Tower, even though the building was bought out in the early 2000’s and changed names at that time. I’ll always remember the cool “Michigan National” neon sign that was hung above the clock and has since been removed. The supports for the old sign can still be seen attached to the building.
