In center of Beijing City is Square is Tiananmen Tower. Initially built in 1417 during the Ming Dynasty (1368 A.D.- 1644 A.D.), the Square was the front door of the Forbidden City. The most important use of it in the past was to declare in a big ceremony to the common people who became the emperor and who became the empress. Until 1911 when the last feudal kingdom was over, no one could enter the Tower except for the royal family and aristocrats. |

The Silverwater Ziggural is at the south-western end of Sydney Olympic Park and provides an excellent view of surrounding areas.
It is an innovative method of disposing of large amounts of "unsuitable engineering fill" onsite rather than breaching the agreed position during the remediation of Homebush Bay of "no waste offsite". The artificial hill is stabilised by gabion walls and was originally known as a Millenium Marker. Due to changing light conditions and the desire to ensure the interpretive signs were readable, this gigapan was taking with autofocus and autoexposure. |

Rabbits have been associated with bad luck for centuries on Portland; use of the name is still taboo—the creatures are often referred to as "Underground Mutton", "Long-Eared Furry Things" or just "bunnies".If a rabbit was seen in a quarry, the workers would pack up and go home for the day, until the safety of the area had been assured. |
