from very near the shape looks confusing and not very good but from further away like in wrabbits shot you can really see the perfect design. i love the tower with the white balcanies and the blue glass..its only beautiful!

I thought the metal railing on Aqua looked like dog shit smeared on a masterpiece, but they've found a way to show me how much worse it could be. Given the choice of wood or metal, I'll take the metal.
