Aren't they just amazing? Sure, there are some animals in the wild that can build wonderous structures as well, but I never stop being amazed by the fact that we can now build buildings over 100 meters and above! Who knows, in a near decade, we might even have buildings over 1 kilometer!

When I take a stroll in a city, I enjoy the view of the buildings and remind me the reason why I love humanity.

I love them too despite there being very few where I live(despite being a pretty big city most buildings are medium sized altought there are a lot of them...).

I wish I could live to see the day where those sci fi cities will become true and every building will be a skyscraper and you'll barely be able to see the sky. Most people would think this'd be hell but I'd feel at home.

[up][up] I'm not sure about that one. Sure, I love skyscrapers but really, I love the view of sky better.

[up] Ah yes, they are awesome too.

I'm still waiting for some floating citadels.

Gosh, citadel is a fun word to say. Citadel. Seeta-Delll. It has a lovely ring to it.

I draws things. And I seem to be some sort of marine entity.

Burj Khalifa is already 828m. Should get your 1km skyscraper within next decade or so.

We need a sky city. Or some sky eslablishments at least. I think a sky nautical curiosities store would be a cool thing to fly to.

Above all, always remember to stay positive.

You know what else would be cool? A sky scraper over a kilometer tall AND submerged underwater. So it would be like two kilometer total.

We need to put your skyscraper on my sky city which is 1 km in the air, thereby making it 3 km above sea level :D

Above all, always remember to stay positive.
