I came across a picture on Unsplash of a tower block (right tower). The aspect ratio was portrait but as soon as I saw it my mind took off and visualised the picture here. I had to widen it to widescreen but that didn't really work - I had to make the picture taller to fit everything in. Bit whacko I'll admit, but imagination is its own creator, and I've just learned to run with it when it feeds me the inspiration.

Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.

These are not my own words but I sure like this quote.

Thanks, and I hope you like my solution for getting rid of those damn high rises. 😄

It's the mind that's amazing! 😉

My first thought (apart from 'WOW!') was of James Blish's Cities in Flight novels from the 1950s.

That's an interesting thought. I have read some James Blish novels in the past, and I definitely know about "Cities in Flight," but I can't remember if I've ever read it or not.

Worth a read if you can find them, though the 'science' isn't valid these days.

That's true for a lot of those early Sci-fi novels.

In my youth I was all about Frank Herbert, Robert Heinlein, and Samuel R. Delaney who wrote "Dhalgren" . . .a book that had a profound effect on me, a book that even to this day I still think about from time to time.
