I really wish I knew what the music from this was, or where I could find more like it.

There's something deeply pleasing about big things moving in high speed footage

Glad you took initiative and made another one OP.

Auxiliary pics is the only redeeming factor to FT. I love this thread.

The air is cold and still in the cavernous and imposing atrium. Sedated orange furniture lines the walls, some bare concrete and others soft and beige.

A man wanders past, clad in a turtle-neck and colourful pants. He seems to be lost, wandering between the imposing, labyrinthine staircases.

I know the building well; after a while, one discovers where every staircase and windowless hallway leads.

At first it's frightening, but I find it comforting. It's something about the enduring nature of the concrete; how it seems simultaneously free and open, yet imposing. Somewhere to be trapped in, or somewhere to find refuge.

It can be as oppressive as the institution it houses -

- or it can be a literal bedrock to the figurative kind that so many public buildings and schools have to be.

I've never been comfortable in cities, yet I've always been drawn to this kind of numinous architecture. These were the kind of places I would go to think. They feel like a bridge between the majesty of nature and the ingenuity and artistry of mankind.

It stirs in me an odd and conflicting mix of awe, excitement, and a deep focus. There's something surreal and solitary about it that I can't help but feel a connection to.

I think it's a cake but i'm not exactly sure.

They were saying it's cake over on 4chan as well. I personally think it's glass.

[OvB]

Glass would make sense for the outside design, actually. Probably a glass cake slice of sorts?

what the fuck kind of cake do you people eat

[EmperorScorpious]

I think it's pretty obvious its some kind of rock.

I've never heard of a cake that has its outside icing also on the broken tips of the inside slices like that.

[Solid_Karat]

Google says its a stone called "Fordite" or "Detroit Agate."

Apparently they were formed from the buildup of car paint over the decades.

Knowing such a thing will be built in the future made my day. Hopefully it catches popularity.

6 MW per station is pretty decent. Tidal energy is pretty interesting. Gotta think about all the man made seawalls that get pounded with waves that aren't taking advantage of that energy.

I prefer chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting. (my birthdays coming up *hint* *hint*)

How expensive is one of these things though?

I'm almost pretty sure that the wave-plant sits completely decommissioned in Hanstholm harbor in Denmark. Last time i was there, about a year ago, it was just standing there, completely rusted to shit. So there's probably not an awful lot of development going on with that right now ...

... And on a somewhat related note, not far from there, is where a big german WW2 bunker is located, along with a huge 38cm gun, with a range of 55km, in what was northern Europes biggest fortification at the time (though i'm not totally sure about it)

The boompipe:

- Of the turret it was living in:

- On base which the turret rotated on:

And the base of the turret, was actually the "base". Huuuge bunker.

And there were multiple canons located, had it's own little miniature railroad system to get the massive shells around.

It's a pity none of those guns are still in one piece.

[QUOTE=download;50198061]It's a pity none of those guns are still in one piece.[/QUOTE]

There are actually still a good handful of the guns up there, still in one piece.

Man, those types of turrets/housings were massive

They should make it operational just in case giant monsters come upshore

[EmperorScorpious]

Reminds me of the disappearing guns at Fort Mott, NJ on the Delaware River

Designed to recoil back down into the fort when fired to "hide" where they fired from on enemy ships.

[ProfHappycat7]

are you the one making those? or is it someone else?
i'd like to see them compiled into one big map of the world

[OvB]

I'd like to know how you make them.

[Zillamaster55]

The software that I use is "I found them on the internet"

Actually no, this came up in r/mapporn which is highly recommended
