Container Observatory

I always knew South Korea was forward thinking.  Now they’ve build an ocean side observatory from recycled shipping containers.

Pollution in China

Posted to links on October 28th, 2009

I’ve always thought that it was pointless to get a penthouse apartment in any major Chinese city because you’d be staring at smog the whole time.  This series of photos exemplify the pollution that’s happening in China due to the rapid industrialization and lack of standards/control.

What’s striking about this photo is that the kids aren’t wearing gloves, their hands are just that dirty, all the time.

Castle on the Park

Have $10 million to spare? Here’s a converted church in San Francisco’s Mission district, right by Dolores Park.  Looks pretty fantastic (via boingboing).  See also.

I saw this mansion for sale on the MLS a long time ago (I think for around $2 million). Glad to see that it’s been sold and is being restored. Seems to be a shame that it’s been sitting empty for so long.
