A 64-metre dish on a fully steerable mount, rising out of the trees near a village whose name is Tolstoukhovo, meaning “thick-eared.” Set among ordinary pasture, treelines and a low river town, the instrument is simply too large for the landscape that holds it, like a piece of deep-space hardware dropped into farmland.
A new boulevard of nearly identical two-storey houses in a repetitive color palette, sat upon rolling hills, at the edge of Richmond, Kentucky. Referred to online as ‘Copy-Paste’ and ‘Barbie’ houses, this neighbourhood looks finished and not yet lived-in at the same time.
A four-sided earthen platform the size of a pyramid base, rising about 100 ft out of the ground, with a concrete staircase appearing to lead up into the sky – like a real life stairway to heaven.
This appears to be a partially edited image, with the original photo being taken from the top of Boulderbrook Drive, looking down towards Solitude Street, on a relatively new residential neighbourhood in suburban Toronto, Canada.
John Portman’s 1985 downtown hotel, built around one of the tallest hotel atriums in the world: a hollow tower of balconies, glass lifts and a drop that feels almost outdoor.
A Grade II* listed Camden housing estate: a long crescent of board-marked white concrete, stepped terraces and a pedestrian street in the sky.

Eero Saarinen’s 1962 TWA terminal at JFK, restored as a hotel: blood red carpets, stark white tube corridors, a sunken lounge, and the feeling of a departure hall that never fully emptied.
The original post featuring this liminal neighbourhood street in Nebraska appears to be on Reddit.
A 5,000-year-old passage tomb in the Boyne Valley whose long stone corridor leads to a dark inner chamber, aligned so that sunrise at the winter solstice briefly fills it with light.
