So a friend suggested I put this Gazebo ($L50 from Xen Builds) INSIDE the mainland house. Breaking the rules a little bit but it worked out well.

This is at the natural bridge and blowholes in Pemberton, Western Australia. The curvature of the green slopes and the sandy paths with the breezy Winter June air, together with the glare of the sun makes walking in the park so much ordinary.

A visit to the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao.
The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is a museum of modern and contemporary art in Bilbao (Biscay), Spain. It is one of several museums affiliated to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation and features permanent and visiting exhibits of works by Spanish and international artists. It was inaugurated on 18 October 1997 by King Juan Carlos I of Spain, with an exhibition of 250 contemporary works of art. It is one of the largest museums in Spain.
The building, designed by Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry, was built alongside the Nervion River, which runs through the city to the Cantabrian Sea. A work of contemporary architecture, it has been hailed as a "signal moment in the architectural culture", because it represents "one of those rare moments when critics, academics, and the general public were all completely united about something", according to architectural critic Paul Goldberger. The museum was the building most frequently named as one of the most important works completed since 1980 in the 2010 World Architecture Survey among architecture experts.
Installation for Bilbao 1997/2017.
By Jenny Holzer. Electronic LED sign.
Couldn't record videos in here, so took multiple photos in a setting that took multiple frames.
Jenny Holzer began her first series, Truisms, in 1977 as a distillation of an erudite reading list from the Whitney Independent Study Program in New York, where she was a student; by 1979 she had written several hundred of these one-liners. Beginning with A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE GOES A LONG WAY and ending with YOUR OLDEST FEARS ARE YOUR WORST ONES, the Truisms employ a variety of voices and express a wide spectrum of biases and beliefs. If any consistent viewpoint emerges in the edgy, stream-of-consciousness provocations, it is that truth is relative and that each viewer must participate in determining what is legitimate and what is not. Since the Truisms, Holzer has continued to use language as her primary medium and has employed myriad ways to convey her messages. Selections from her Inflammatory Essays series (1979–82), for example, appeared on unsigned, commercially printed posters pasted on buildings and walls around Manhattan.
When phrases by Holzer such as ABUSE OF POWER COMES AS NO SURPRISE and MONEY CREATES TASTE flashed from the Spectacolor board above Times Square in 1982, it marked her first appropriation of electronic signage. This mode of dissemination brought her disquieting messages to a new height of subversive social engagement. Her strategy—placing surprising texts where normal signage is expected—gives Holzer direct access to a large public that might not give "art" any consideration, while allowing her to undermine forms of power and control that often go unnoticed. Her installations over the last three decades have raised questions about the viability of public art, the commodification and consumption of art, and the relationship between the personal and the political.

Snake by Richard Serra. Gallery 104.
Did a photo setting to take lots of photos, as you can't record videos here.
Richard Serra (1938-2024)
Snake (1994-97)
Weathering steel, three units, each comprised of two conical sections
Richard Serra has long been acclaimed for his challenging and innovative work, which emphasizes the process of its fabrication, characteristics of materials, and an engagement with viewer and site. In the early 1960s, Serra and the Minimalist artists of his generation turned to unconventional, industrial materials and began to accentuate the physical properties of their work. Relieved of its symbolic role, freed from the traditional pedestal, and introduced into the real space of the viewer, sculpture took on a new relationship to the spectator whose phenomenological experience of an object became crucial to its meaning. Viewers were encouraged to move around—and sometimes on, in, or through—the works, many of which cannot be fully understood without peripatetic examination. Over the years Serra has expanded his spatial and temporal approach to sculpture and has focused primarily on large-scale, site-specific works that create a dialogue with a particular architectural, urban, or landscape setting.
Snake, a work made for the inauguration of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, consists of three enormous, serpentine ribbons of hot-rolled steel that are permanently installed in the museum’s “Fish” gallery. Although it weighs around 180 tons, the colossal work is experienced through its negative spaces. The two tilted, snaking passages, capture a rare sense of motion and instability. Snake preceded Serra’s Torqued Ellipses, the artist’s most recent rumination on the physicality of space and the nature of sculpture. Both Snake and the Torqued Ellipses seem to defy gravity
and logic, making solid metal appear as malleable as felt. Shifting in unexpected ways as viewers walk in and around them, these sculptures create surprising experiences of space and balance, and provoke a dizzying sensation of steel and space in motion.

Heading to the Puente Le Salve from the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao.

The La Salve bridge formerly called the Príncipes de España bridge until its change in 2016, is a bridge over the Bilbao estuary in Bilbao, Vizcaya (Spain).
It is called the bridge of the Salve because when the ships arrived at the port of Bilbao through the estuary, at the height of the bridge is the first place where the Virgin of Begoña is seen and there the sailors sang the Salve to her.
Its opening took place on January 9, 1972 and its author was the engineer Juan Batanero García-Geraldo. It was designed at the end of the sixties, to solve the problem of traffic, which was beginning to become saturated in the north of the city. It was also the first in Spain with a brace system and one of the few with a metal deck. It has 23.5 meters of free height for the passage of boats, being fixed.
It is equipped with elevators from its base on the right bank, in the area of La Salve, at the end of Campo de Volantín. These are maintained by the city council, transporting 200,000 passengers annually. They have been free since May 2008.
Next to this bridge, on the left bank of the estuary, is the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao . Furthermore, it is curious to contemplate how the architect of this museum wanted to integrate, in a certain way, this bridge into it, building, for this purpose and on its left side, as seen from the Campo de Volantín, a high tower with access stairs. to the museum, which is located on the right side.
"Father of the Riverwalk"
"Robert H.H. Hugman, architect, revered his roll in development of the Riverwalk, 1939-1941, Opened his office at river level in this circular space in early 1941. He remarked at the time "I opened my office at river level. When I did this, people said, in essence, "I knew you were a dreamer, but now I know you are also a fool. You'll be drowned like a rat in your own hole.""
"In 1929, this visionary architect presented a master plan to the City of San Antonio for development of the downtown river bend. Hugman's plan proposed a balance between commercial and park-like qualities while maintaining the river's natural character and preserving old-world architecture."
A guide at one of the National Park Services Missions told me that if an outcry from literally "little old ladies" (educated teachers, etc.) had not occurred, the "rulers" (all old white business men) wanted to concrete the river downtown and stop flooding by making it a sterile ditch. Thank goodness for the ladies! Women Rule!!
