Sticking with members of the World Federation of Great Towers, this is Rotterdam’s 186 metre-high Euromast. Apparently the tower is built on a concrete block weighing 1,900,000 kilos!

You can see the view from the 100 metre-high restaurant on the official site, and Hans points out that the red structure on the water just to the south is another floating Chinese restaurant!

Thanks to Alessandro Lo-Presti (Agilo), Aar Clay and Hans.

This is the super-cool looking Tashkent TV Tower in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Standing at 375 metres, it’s slightly smaller than yesterday’s Central TV Tower, but it’s the tallest structure in central Asia (whatever that means). The tower uses a vertical cantilever structure which makes it look like some sort of gargantuan tripod, and also casts a brilliant shadow.

Note: The thumbnail here is rotated 180 degrees from the original, simply because it looked way cooler the right way up!

Just like the Central TV Tower, the Tashkent Tower has an observation deck (slightly higher at 318 metres) which allows it too, to be a member of the World Federation of Great Towers.

Thanks to Mikhail Kushnir, Pasha M. and Tim, we now have an Uzbekistan category!

Still in Beijing, this is the Central TV Tower, which (including its antennae) is 405 metres tall, and easily the tallest structure in the city. A race to the top of the tower is held annually, with two laps of the base followed by a climb of the 1484 steps leading up to the 238 metre-high observation deck. The Central TV Tower is also part of the World Federation of Great Towers, of which several have already featured on GgSs.

Check out all these brilliantly brightly-coloured cars on this highway in Beijing.

I’m not sure though why these cars seem quite so colourful, and perhaps it’s simply down to the combination of an over-saturated image and a very sunny day, but it sure looks cool However, there could be a clue further down the road, where it appears that the image’s colour channels aren’t properly aligned.

Actually, if you scroll north and south along the road, as well as hundreds of other similarly luminous cars, there’s also several quite cool looking intersections.

Thanks to Philip Ng.
