I shot this one a couple of weeks back, really liked the form I just hadn't uploaded it because it needed some serious work done to the reflection it had a big bubble on the left hand side of the reflection that messed it up, not sure if I made it look any better with my handy work but I tried. I hope everyone enjoys, thanks for looking.

The Tropical Display Dome at Mt. Coot-tha Botanical Gardens, Toowong, Brisbane. Happy Window Wednesday.
Opened in 1977, the Tropical Display Dome at Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mt Coot-tha is a large geodesic (lattice) structure. It was built to display plants from the tropical regions of the world. This also includes plants that require a protected environment to thrive in Brisbane.
The climate-controlled atmosphere of the dome provides the plant collection with the right atmospheric conditions. It also protects them from potential threats found in their natural environment.
A circular pathway winds upwards through the dome building. It wraps around a central pond featuring water lilies (Nymphaea) and native fish. This path leads visitors past a range of aroids, calatheas, heliconia's, caladiums, palms and epiphytes.
A variety of food crop plants from the tropics including Indian arrowroot, vanilla, cocoa, pepper and African nutmeg grow in the temperature controlled climate of the dome.
Truss bridge is a type of bridge whose main element is a truss which is a structure of connected elements that form triangular units. Truss is used because it is a very rigid structure and it transfers the load from a single point to a much wider area. Truss bridges appeared very early in the history of modern bridges and are economic to construct because they use materials efficiently.
Before Industrial revolution (19th century), almost all bridges in use were made of stone. But wood and iron can resist tension and compression better and stone and United States had much wood so they made many wooden bridges in those times and most of them were truss bridges. Town's lattice truss, a very simple variant of truss, was patented in 1820. First half of 19th century saw very few truss bridges made of iron although the first patent for an iron truss bride was issued to Squire Whipple in 1841. But metal slowly started to replace wood, and wrought iron bridges started appearing in the U.S. in the 1870s only to be replaced by steel in 1880s and 1890s. In time some places (like Pennsylvania) continued building truss bridges for long spans well into 1930s, while other (like Michigan) started building standard plan concrete girder and beam bridges.
From the first truss bridge, engineers experimented with different forms of truss bridges trying to find better shape and the one that will suit them for the particular problems. Because of that we have today many forms of truss bridges. Truss bridge can have deck (roadbed) on top (deck truss), in the middle (through truss), or at the bottom of the truss. If the sides of the truss extend above the roadbed but are not connected, it is called a pony truss or half-through truss.

The Flatiron Building, originally the Fuller Building, is a triangular 22-story,285-foot-tall (86.9 m) steel-framed landmarked building located at 175 Fifth Avenue Manhattan, New York City. Designed by Daniel Burnham and Frederick Dinkelberg, it was one of the tallest buildings in the city upon its 1902 completion, at 20 floors high,and one of only two "skyscrapers" north of 14th Street. It was to be named the Fuller Building after George A. Fuller, founder of the Fuller Company and "father of the skyscraper", who had died two years earlier.However, locals persisted in calling it "The Flatiron", a name which has since been made official.
The Flatiron Building was designed by Chicago architect Daniel Burnham as a vertical Renaissance palazzo with Beaux-Arts styling.Unlike New York's early skyscrapers, which took the form of towers arising from a lower, blockier mass, such as the contemporary Singer Building (built 1902–1908), the Flatiron Building epitomizes the Chicago school conception.Like a classical Greek column, its facade – limestone at the bottom, changing to glazed terra-cotta from the Atlantic Terra Cotta Company in Tottenville, Staten Island, as the floors rise – is divided into a base, shaft, and capital.
Two features were added to the Flatiron Building following its completion. The "cowcatcher" retail space at the front of the building was added in order to maximize the use of the building's lot and produce some retail income. Harry Black had insisted on the space, despite objections from Burnham. Another addition to the building not in the original plan was the penthouse, which was constructed after the rest of the building had been completed to be used as artists' studios, and was quickly rented out to artists such as Louis Fancher, many of whom contributed to the pulp magazines which were produced in the offices below.
The retail space in the building's "cowcatcher" at the "prow" was leased by United Cigar Stores, and the building's vast cellar, which extended into the vaults that went more than 20 feet (6.1 m) under the surrounding streets,was occupied by the Flatiron Restaurant, which could seat 1,500 patrons and was open from breakfast through late supper for those taking in a performance at one of the many theatres which lined Broadway.
When the building was first constructed, it received mixed feedback. The most known criticism received was known as "Burnham's Folly". This criticism, focused on the structure of the building, was made on the grounds that the "combination of triangular shape and height would cause the building to fall down." Critics believed that the building created a dangerous wind-tunnel at the intersection of the two streets, and could possibly knock the building down.The building's shape was blamed for the 1903 death of a bicycle messenger, who was blown into the street and run over by a car. However, the building's structure was meant to accommodate four times the typical wind loads in order to stabilize and retain the building's iconic triangular shape.
The New York Tribune called the new building "A stingy piece of pie ... the greatest inanimate troublemaker in New York", while the Municipal Art Society said that it was "Unfit to be in the Center of the City". The New York Times called it a "monstrosity".But some saw the building differently. Futurist H. G. Wells wrote in his 1906 book The Future in America: A Search After Realities:
"I found myself agape, admiring a sky-scraper the prow of the Flat-iron Building, to be particular, ploughing up through the traffic of Broadway and Fifth Avenue in the afternoon light."
As of November 2020, the building is empty, and the full renovation is expected to take at least until 2022.
