Marina Bay Sands SkyPark in Singapore



These amazing photos are of the Skypark that was built atop the three soaring Marina Bay Sands hotel (US$5.7 billion ($A6.8 billion)) in Singapore. It would appear that there is something there for everyone, young or old. It is an amazing structure that truly lives up to its name. It is a park in the sky.

Stretching longer than the Eiffel tower laid down or four and a half A380 Jumbo Jets, with an impressive 12,400 square meters of space, the Sands SkyPark can host up to 3900 people. 55 floors above the streets of Singapore, the pool at the city's newest resort is now open for business.

The Cabin - Tree House by Marten Cyren



The hotel is located in Harads, in one of the most beautiful parts of Sweden – the pearl of Swedish forests. Cabin hangs from the trees and has a roof terrace overlooking the forest. The deck is slightly separated from the building in order to make it appear smaller and also provide a possibility of giving the building its own expression. The hotel is composed by a number of separated rooms, each room has a different shape and functions.

Incredible Water Bridge in Germany



The Magdeburg Water Bridge is a navigable aqueduct in Germany, opened in October 2003. It connects the Elbe-Havel Canal to the Mittelland Canal, crossing over the Elbe River. It is notable for being the longest navigable aqueduct in the world, with a total length of 918 metres (3,012 ft).

The Elbe-Havel and Mittelland canals had previously met near Magdeburg but on opposite sides of the Elbe. Ships moving between the two had to make a 12-kilometre (7.5 mi) detour, descending from the Mittelland Canal through the Rothensee boat lift into the Elbe, then sailing downstream on the river, before entering the Elbe-Havel Canal through Niegripp lock.

Low water levels in the Elbe often prevented fully laden canal barges from making this crossing, requiring time-consuming off-loading of cargo.
