Hi Roger Hi Swimmer

Interesting Websites. I particularly enjoyed the skyscraperpage.com. Its quite amazing just how beautiful many of thes new buildings are. Its sad to see how few are being built in UK. The Conservation movement have such a stranglehold on planning laws now that building anything high is all but impossible. Sometimes I think we really are in danger of sliding into looking like a third world country.

It was also interesting to see where the majority of these projects are simply proposed and where they are largely under construction.

Whoa, pretty amazing.
Cant wait to go back and check them out. Just a few more years...
