I make my proper prostrations to the Gods of the Market Place.
That Water would certainly wet us, as Fire would certainly burn:
So we left them to teach the Gorillas while we followed the March of Mankind.
So we worshipped the Gods of the Market Who promised these beautiful things.
As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “Stick to the Devil you know.”
LOL. Yeah, off to reeducation camp for you!
Incredibly stupid
Everyone’s a critic.
We used to build stuff like that...
“Wonder what it will look like 5 years from now. Im guessing similar to the Bejing Olympic complex.”
I went to the Beijing Olympic complex last October - it looks just fine, still in use.
Actually it IS aestatically pleasing. They put an artificial waterfall behind our condo, it too is pleasing. I could stare at flowing water for hours.

Well, absent regular cleaning, much of that side of the building will be mossy green.
We used to build stuff like that...
Yes, we did.
And sometimes just for the hell of it.
Here is the tip of the iceberg.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Hundreds of LED nodes were used to power Electric Waterfall, a lighting installation that activated the drab facade of a local eyesore.
If I worked in that building - I would have to pee every 15 minutes.
I like it!
A huge improvement over the existing, but a bit static.
Watch them install it, very fast.

Because you have become so relaxed form the gentle sound of falling water.

I didnt say aesthetically pleasing I said artistically pleasing. Building is too chunky and there is no grace to the waterfall. It is not pleasing to the eye
Because Im 67 and once I break the seal its over.
OK, I stand corrected. Uh... how about a comparison to the Great Wall?
“how about a comparison to the Great Wall?”
That doesn’t look bad either... especially after 2000 years.
I did see that, but I have no business criticizing something from an artistic point.
OK, how about smog in Shenzhen? Maybe not an exact comparison but for now its the best I can do.
