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.
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.

A small cemetery chapel in Kutná Hora whose lower chamber is decorated with the bones of tens of thousands of people. Chandeliers, pyramids, coats of arms and garlands, all made of skulls and femurs.
Reykjavík’s landmark Lutheran church: a tall, pale concrete tower that stands upon the hill of Skólavörðuholt, looms over the capital city and appears to pierce the (usually) grey sky above.

A classic Soviet-era sanatorium complex on the riverbank in Mykolaiv, best known online for its eerily empty indoor pool with greenish water, cascading features and stark tiled surfaces, yet the entire location carries a deep, nostalgic liminality that extends far beyond the pool itself.
An underground 1950s pedestrian arcade of salmon-pink tiles, black granite columns and art-deco shopfronts that runs beneath Flinders Street, creating one of Melbourne’s most distinctive liminal and time-warp spaces.
