It's a lot of buildings we've seen before, but the pictures show a good aerial view and there is a nice variety of architectural styles. (3 pages of images) There's something like that not far from where I live, it's only silly french buildings though... =(
It's a shame they don't have the names of the buildings, some of those are nice and I'd be interested into looking into them a bit more. in case you were interested in that one and didn't know the name, it's Neuschwanstein. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuschwanstein
I'd like to know these: 1* http://media.knuttz.net/0701/miniature_world/mini_world_015.jpg 2* http://media.knuttz.net/0701/miniature_world/mini_world_027.jpg (reminds me of a painkiller level) 3* http://media.knuttz.net/0701/miniature_world/mini_world_040.jpg 4* http://media.knuttz.net/0701/miniature_world/mini_world_042.jpg 5* http://media.knuttz.net/0701/miniature_world/mini_world_077.jpg 6* http://media.knuttz.net/0701/miniature_world/mini_world_078.jpg Anyone know those? fairly certain that's the Blue Mosque in Istanbul.
Don't know about the rest though... #2 is the Sultan Ahmed Mosque or "Blue Mosque" in Turkey:

http://www.chenonceau.com/media/fr/index_fr.php #3 Einstein Tower, Potsdam (near Berlin, Germany) http://www.aip.de/einsteinturm/ #4 looks like a building in Sanaa, the Capital of Jemen http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sana'a - the other ? #4 is not in Sanaa, it is in the
Wadi Dhar in Yemen and it is named Dar al-Hajar (the Rock Palace) http://www.flat3.co.uk/yemen/pages/index_wadi_dhar.htm http://www.pervan.de/reiseberichte/Bild*Dar_al_Hadschar*34099 scroll down at this site, there you can start a slideshow, with very impressive images of Yemen! nobody laughing, everyone on drugs, but nice architecture.
~~~~ found #6 Laxey Wheel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laxey_Wheel http://www.geschichte.uni-osnabrueck.de/fach/wiso/main.htm The time is here. The place is now. The journey, every episode of the twilight zone ever.
http://www.yourtvlinks.com/the-twilight-zone.html hmm.. think I've missed that one until now and yet it was sitting next to Hagia Sophia all the time! With both of those next to each other it seems like a really fantastic place to visit.

http://www.deadmalls.com/malls/dixie_square_mall/pics/Dcp_0987.jpg You might have to dig through a lot of text to find them, but this site http://www.deadmalls.com/ has a ton of pictures of dead/dying/demolished shopping malls along with their backstories. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xmc83_twilight-zone-its-a-good-life
You may notice it was redone for the Twilight Zone feature film (by Joe Dante, no less), but not nearly as good. I've spent a lot of time in Istanbul and travelled throughout Turkey but I never captured it quite like this: wonderful photography and outstanding presentation.

Gukanjima is an island near the westernmost shore of Japan. It is an island built upon a reef in the early 19th century because of a coal mine in the reefs and quickly became a densely populated island 1 km in diameter and 5300 people living packed together, working the mines. Someone posted about Gunkanjima a while back, this site has more photos I think:

sigh. So much for being able to appreciate something nice in my own home.
