That looks like a good place to trip and make a visit to the emergency room.

[mairdie]

That’s WONDERFUL! Never saw that. Much thanks.

And sue your employer and never have to work again.

# 6 reminds me of a Sci-fi movie . Don’t recall which one, Alien?

[mairdie]

Didn’t see “Alien.” I’d keep looking over my shoulder if I was forced to a desk in that building.

I miss the past future.

This one looks like Jacksonville (from "Ash VS the Evil Dead fame)

60's future is best. Where are our cool cars powered by radioactive highways?

When I took architectural drafting in high school in 1970 my textbook had the drawing of Wright’s mile high skyscraper.

What a lot of people don’t know is that it required a 1/4 mile deep foundation.

[robroys woman]

I heard a lot of Frank Lloyd Wright’s buildings had a lot of structural problems. Falling Water needed a complete rebuild and one office building had a roof that constantly leaked.

When we were in LA for my daughter’s wedding last summer, we sought out and went to Ennis house. Pretty cool, actually.

Thanks mairdie. Pretty neat. Humans will build our most interesting structures on other bodies.

Your images of the window washers remind me of this commercial...

The music deserves it’s own listening - it is quite literally “Epic”, as in turn the volume up to 11 & fire up those subs!
