Reach for the sky

Took this pic on a weekend visit to Brisbane. Was walking past an old frontage and saw this great blue monstrosity looming behind it. For me, it is a nice contrast between old and new architectural styles. Not sure which I prefer, as they both have their own qualities (hell of a blue sky though).

A cloud over Sin City

Discovered something new on our last trip to Vegas. This awesome looking structure is called The Cloud. It is built above one of the world's biggest enclosed malls ... Fashion Show Mall, which boasts over 250 shops and restaurants. The Cloud floats about 20 storeys above the mall and is larger than a football field. It provides shade during the hot Vegas day and doubles as a mammoth projection screen at night. It is so big, I had to take a panorama of it to fit it all in. A stunning piece of architecture ... and where else but Vegas?
