I gave myself a midweek day off to visit the Cotswold Way National Trail, at the beautiful village of Broadway. This tower is at the peak of the hill looking out over 17 counties, and the field is also a red deer enclosure, which made my day even more special!
The tower overlooking the Eco Expo Site in Kun Ming. Forgot to ask about the designer, but it's a 1998 structure, and taking a beating! It looks very U.S. 1920's art deco in many ways.
Just thought we'd share our updated Blu-Ray Collection from last time we took a shot of 'em

The White Tower at the center of Darmstadt has quite a history. Initially built as part of the city defense in 1330, it became a bell tower in 1704, when it also got the clock installed. In the 20th century the tower held various treasures of the state archive.
During the WWII bombings the tower, just like the whole town, was severly damaged and plans were made to tear down the tower. Plans like those were made throughout the history of the tower various times, arguing that the tower is an obstacle to traffic and commerce. However, the tower is still standing due to its various saviours and probably will be standing there for quite some time.
This HDR was created using QTPFSGUI and Gimp. Three Exposures (+2EV, 0EV, -2EV) were tonemapped three times using the Fattal, Mantiuk and Drago filters. Those were then composed to the final image in Gimp.
Construction of the tower began 11th November 1848, and completed 30th May 1851, and was one of the last Martello Towers to be built in the United Kingdom.

Galata Tower has dominated BeyoÄŸlu's skyline since 1348 and still offers the best panoramic views of the city.
Above, the Golden Horn, Seraglio Point and Old Istanbul as seen from Galata Tower (looking south).
Originally named the Tower of Christ, the 66.9-meter (220-foot)-high tower was the highpoint in the city walls of the Genoese colony called Galata. Most of the walls are long gone, but the great tower , with its 3.75-meter (12-foot)-thick walls remains.
The story is told of how, in 1638, a certain Hezarfen Ahmet Çelebi attached wings to his body and flew (more likely coasted) across the Bosphorus to Üsküdar.
Why he did it once, no one says, nor whether he survived...
Until the 1960s it was a fire lookout tower. Now the upper floors hold the panorama balcony.
The panorama balcony, encircling the highest row of windows, is narrow, open to the weather, and not recommended for anyone suffering from acrophobia (fear of heights).
The Sears tower is no longer the Sears Tower....it is now the WIllis Tower. This was on our way over to the Skydeck tour.
These houses are in the grounds of the Tower of London. Close inspection will reveal a soldier in the traditional bearskin helmet.
Once up on Bradda Headland you can overlook Port Erin and its bay.
Milner's Tower sits atop. It was conceived by the residences of Port Erin to honour of William Milner, a Liverpool safemaker of Milner's Safe Co. Ltd, who was a great benefactor of the town, and was erected in 1871. However the tower was meant to be built in secret as a surprise, but once Milner found out he donated much of the building cost. It’s said that it’s built to resemble a lock and key - not sure that I can see that personally.

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!
