  1. @qag The building on the right looks like it was built to be "enjoyed" from inside a zeppelin. 🙄 The trees do an admirable job softening the exterior, but the building appears to be modeled on one of the hangars the Nazi's used for parking the Hindenburg (see pic below).

    Humans have built some beautiful buildings -- whatever that is on the right, it ain't one of them.😉
