Here's a few of my John Wests... it's not easy to find astounding architecture in Oberon.

These are from my recent trip OS to Germany and Turkey for work. Not exactly the arty type of shots that Chris had in mind, but... never mind. Check out the size of the caravan in shot 1. It should give some sense of scale for the laminated timber "building" at Deutche Messe.



Al.

PS. I've done a bit of work in Google Maps and Google Earth on this building just for interests sake. There are 12 of these "artificial trees" made from laminated timber that make up the building, and each one spans 40m! By scaling that means each is nearly 40m high as well. I've attached a view of the 3D building from Google Earth as well.
