It looks like the local builders merchants had a special offer on steel tubes that month.

Sorry, so would I, but the last couple of weeks and the ongoing pandemic have made casual travel not feasible for me. That may (or may not) change during the next couple of weeks - though I'm rather pessimistic (Switzerland pushes absurdly high case numbers ...).I'd love to see that one! And this is just part of an eyesore, currently being erected where I live...

Right at the waterfront. Nobody except the "democratically elected decision-makers" and the Saudi owned property company wanted a giant hotel/congress center blocking the view.
Obviously they were not in on the Covid-19 conspiracy![]()

A macro lens should sort that Matt. I *think* things are about to get pretty bad here in Sydney, so I'll be using mine around the house assuming I'm locked in. In the meantime, here's another bad building from a Chinatown stroll yesterday..Sorry, so would I, but the last couple of weeks and the ongoing pandemic have made casual travel not feasible for me.

Ray, I was basically out of time and in no mood to mix with people - we're not forbidden from leaving the house at least, though sometimes I think it would be for the better, seeing as many people around here just don't take enough precautions and the pandemic is accelerating again a week before Christmas. As the situation deteriorates, things get more and more strained - and people get more and more anxious and short-tempered; not a good time to be in any crowded areas, I feel. However, the shops will be closed completely over the upcoming holidays, as well as all restaurants, so city centers will be basically deserted - a better time to try my luck.A macro lens should sort that Matt.

But what the hell is that building in the foreground? The one which is just an array of black windows. It's in every shot you see of the Empire State Building taken from this side, and I think it's horrible. I don't know its name, and if I did I would nominate it for immediate demolition.

Oh : I rather like it! Intensely time-consuming to have put it together like thatI hesitate to call it 'bad'.......but it's verry, verry different.
Not to everybody's taste but you have to appreciate all the hard work and dedication put into creating it!

I don't want to be near it if any of the rocks come loose from weathering. It's a heavy rock that would potentially hit you.I hesitate to call it 'bad'.......but it's verry, verry different.
