Bad architect, BAD!

I haven't blogged about architecture in a while, except for a little post-Katrina stuff here & there.  John put this up the other day, without much in the way of comment.  I'm practically speechless myself.

Wouldn't you just love to live in that building?  Holy give me a break, Batman!  If that monstrosity doesn't leak then the contractor who built it deserves an award.  Big time.

Easy Gentlemen,

this is taken care of by an outstanding facade engineering firm and planned by jean nouvel..
If you take my bet.. that is never gonna leak because FRONT INC is involved in the planning..
Cheers from spain

I am just as dumbfounded by the people who actually paid to have it built.

Seen at low tide

  • American White Pelican
    Saw 30 in one flock on a weptember evening while fishing
  • Hummingbird
    Finally, my first hummingbirds. Saw them on a fire bush in Crystal Beach, FL. My rental's neighbor's yard is all xeriscaped, which is ugly to me but just fine with the little hummers. At first, I thought they were the biggest hornets I'd ever seen.
  • Flamingo!
    One of these dudes flew right over my house. I couldn't believe it. And please don't tell me it was a roseated spoonbill because it was a frickin' flamingo, dude! Huge and pink and right there above me. I was like so freaking out, you know?
  • Falcon!
    Don't see these guys too often. Wish we did. Bet the morning doves don't.
  • Black Skimmer
    These beauties are getting scarce, but one flew by yesterday at low tide on the hunt for minnows.
  • Dead sea turtle
    cool, but smelly
  • Reddish Egret
    These have been hanging out around the pool quite a bit lately. Must be a new group of adolesent birds -- the youngsters like to hunt where the water is clear, and it takes them a day to figure out there are not now and never will be fish in the swimming pool no matter how clear the water.
  • Sand Piper
  • Brown Pelican
    I saw a flock of about 200 of these at Disappearing Island yesterday, just south of Anclote Island on the west coast of FL. Good to see such a large flock.
  • Wood Pecker
    They've developed a sudden interest in the orange tree, which just went into bloom.
