OK, the first is a view from my AirBnB room in downtown Vancouver, a bit prosaic.
The second is of a piece, the Milky Way Necklace, I saw in a nearby gallery of indigenous art, by Bill Reid. Although the Milky Way seems to have no visible connection with the Haida tradition, Reid pointed out that traditional Haida artists very often represented two or more presences which could occupy the same space at the same time in their art. He gave that Haida concept of plurality a contemporary expression in this necklace with its two main components - the wire "theme" and the pyramid "theme" - which are theoretically capable of separation.

Since we skipped "T", here's one:
Tunis Carthage International Airport, Tunis, Tunisia. Built with French funding in 1944, the airport, serving 7.2 million annual passengers, is located just to the west of the ancient city of Carthage.
The next contributor can continue with "W".

The "Fortress of the Seven Towers" is a fortified historic structure built in 1458 on the commission of Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II, fully enclosing a section of the ancient walls of Constantinople. A mescit (small mosque) was built in the middle of the fort's inner courtyard, which can be seen under restoration in this photo. When I was there, this was one of the few sites allowing access to the top of the walls surrounding the old city.

That's a cool font! The Zeehan School of Mines and Metallurgy opened at the turn of the 20th Century (1892 according to the sign, but it was probably a bit later that it practically began operating). Though it closed back in 1958, the signage is still there, and the building is preserved as part of the West Coast Heritage Centre.

Century Village, Boca Raton, sign at the northern gate. With over 5,700 units across 105 buildings, this community is one of four in Florida carrying the same name. The first photo, at the north gate, was taken by me this morning. The second photo, taken by me on Friday, is of one section of the multi-pronged, manmade lake that spreads throughout the community.
