Man, that's hard.

Where was the header image yesterday? As I remember, it was some church tower in the photo, with mountains in the backgroud?

can we also request daily banners? or give other forumers chance to make them with their name on it? it would be pretty cool feature along with the rest of the forum and the Urban Photo Contest (can i be the request-a-daily-banner and/or make-a-daily-banner moderator? :) )

Hello Jan, what you think about these two banners? (first is Krakow made by Kuba, second is Warsaw by drowned.world)

Cool! Well, if the photos dont have to be originals taken by forumers, then here is a cool banner Imade of a pic I found of Vancouver.

Cool! We'll use that one. :)

Its an old pic.. without Vans current tallest, but still its a great photo of skyscrapers.

That picture is awesome, Jada. As are all of these so far, Jan!

Here are a couple of Dublin I made of pictures that my friend from Dublin took. You don't have to use them, but I love Dublin, so I thought I'd offer them anyway. :)

@ Jan , no banners from your city -Rotterdam- yet ?

I think it would be a good idea to write on the banner what place/city it is because not everyone is reading this thread and sometimes it's not that easy to recognize the place :)
anyway it was a great idea to introduce daily banners :okay:

Is today's banner Krakow ?

Some great Banner above

So I am guessing that Han has created some sort of program which changes the banner for him automatically, once the forum clock turns 12am? Because I am still seeing the Rushmore banner, yet De Snor sees Krakow.

Okay, nevermind. Its 12:06am and I see the new banner. Its great!

Is today's banner Krakow ?
YES! :banana: :righton:

May 20
Yes, today is beautifull Krakow alright :)

This banner is used at the "urbancanada" website and it shows the location also !

http://www.urbancanada.com/images/cur_banner.jpg

I guess the same should happen here too

It would be a good idea to show the location, because sometimes I don't know what I'm looking at, and I'm sure I'm not the only one!

or maybe there could be code added so when you hover your mouse over the image it displays the location.

Precisely! That's brilliant!

You're in Dublin now Buck?

No. :( I wish! Still in Atlanta, but Dublin's on my mind.

Atlanta and Dublin. That's quite a difference. :)

There is no sea in Dublin. There is one in Atlanta - parking lots! :D

Actually Dublin is on my to do list for this year as a weekend trip for some budget airline company (http://www.basiqair.com/en) is practically giving away Rotterdam - Dublin tickets right now.

@ Style: Dublin is next to what they call the Irish Sea. What you propably mean is 'peachtree'. :)

Where is today's banner from ?

A tribute to world's most respected skyscraper builders: termites!
http://skyscrapercity.com/images/forumheaders/24.jpg

---oooOooo---

Background info:

Have you ever been to a large city and seen a skyscraper? A skyscraper is a very high building designed for people to work or live in. A well-designed skyscraper must be made strong enough to hold up in strong winds and earth tremors. It must be able to have the inside air circulated, and heated or cooled. A lot of special design goes into making a skyscraper.

Termite mounds (or termitaries) are the skyscrapers of the animal world. Some of these mounds are up to 20 feet high (some of the world’s tallest animal mounds)! The builders are termites. Most termites are tiny, soft bodied, white insects that must have a dark moist place to live. Some termites will die if left in the open air for more than a few hours. Most avoid light and can thrive only where there is warmth and high humidity. They must also have fresh moist air. Termites construct their mounds to meet these needs. Their mounds are built with a complicated ventilation system.

Termites use spit and mud to build the hard, thick walls. Very close to the surface of these walls are tiny tunnels. Air is heated by the bodies of the termites and their fungus. This warmed air rises, and tiny tunnels carry the rising warm air close to the surface of the mound. The termitary walls are porous, or have tiny holes. The tiny tunnels are so near the porous surface that cooled, fresh air can actually leak into the inside air and stale air, and other gases can leak out. Thus the mound acts like a giant lung and constantly refreshes the air inside. Amazingly these walls also keep the rain and the heat out!

This air moving system works so well that the temperature inside the mound is kept .at a steady 64° all year- no matter what the temperature is outside. Without ventilation and cooling, the termites would die within hours. Each huge termite mound is built by worker termites. Worker termites also repair the mound, take care of the king and queen, gather food, and tend the eggs. Amazingly, these tiny workers are blind!

I knew it! I came here saw it, thought and had a feeling it was a termite mound. Now, I really need to stop watching the Discovery Channel. :D


Very creative one, Jan! :okay:

Great idea :okay: and really dense skyline ;):D

Atlanta and Dublin. That's quite a difference. :)

New York and Rotterdam. That's quite a difference. :D



I'm still looking at "Rotterdam." Midnight is approaching. I'm looking forward to Alberobello, Italy.

What's the point? Do you care? Does anybody?

Aha , Montréal today :okay:

Looks awsome too! :D


For a second I almost thought it was Kansas City. :dizzy:

heeeey, from where is the header image from today?

Today's is an old image of the MCG pre the redevelopment of the southern stand and also way before the current redevelopment of the northern stand.

Today's is an old image of the MCG pre the redevelopment of the southern stand and also way before the current redevelopment of the northern stand.

But from which nation is the image?

dynamoultraclean...

I appreciate that you've identified today's banner image, but all I ask for is the decency to explain the acronym...for I imagine that hundreds of us are clueless about what it stands for. :?

Melbourne Crater Gorge?? Melbourne City Gulf?? ........Melbourne Club for Girls??? ;)

Jan - zou je eens even kunnen helpen??

I guess Greenland

I guess Greenland

Is the image from Greenland? hm, Im not so sure about that. It looks strangly the same as some Norwegian or Icelandic fishing towns.

It's a Norwegian fjord village, I forgot which one it is. May 30 is the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Sorry guys. As Jan said it's an old pic of the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) that was most likely taken approximately 15 years ago.

Apart from the grass and the skyscrapers (or lack of) in the background, none of what is shown in the photo still stands today. :)

I see a great Warsaw skyline header image, congrats! :cheers1:

Today's is really great!

And what did we see on the previous days? Warsaw ... yes :okay: and what? Lovely statuary plus ... :? Where? What? Staged? Unstaged? Manipulated? Not manipulated? And the other one that again had a Mideastern appearance?

Please be an :angel1: and tell us, Jan--for that matter, tell us in time! :master:

You can always cheat by changing the date on your Windows Clock. :bash:

Naptown...

generally speaking, changing my clock would only bring me yet another unidentified banner!! ;)

the one from today looks very promising ... :ohno:

Well, how wonderful, De Snor! :D Promising? :?

I'm on the verge of giving up on this thread. European, thank you for telling me that I'm still seeing Sevilla (at least for the next 2 minutes, when my clock will turn. ;)

EDIT (I'm availing myself of this possibility because I somehow managed to produce a double post). :D

Well, how wonderful, De Snor! :D But what do you mean by "promising?" :?

I'm on the verge of giving up on this thread; obviously no one sees the need & opportunity to tell people what the SCity banner is showing. :( There may always be a small (or even large!) band of people in the know, recognizing their home turf. :) Yet for the majority of forumers that banner may represent terra incognita. A timely description of the daily banner, however brief and even if "obvious," would make me quite happy. :)

Europa, thank you for telling me retroactively that I most recently was seeing Sevilla. :okay:

haha I like today's :D

http://skyscrapercity.com/images/forumheaders/5.jpg

O well, yes ... doesn't tell us very much one way or the other, does it? :)

Agreed, Jan! :) And many :cheers1: to you!!!! But please don't fail us in the educational mission aspect that's part of your job description! ;)

lol, great image today, it fits lovly to my screen today, I have used the same image for a week now... :)

Yay, today's is Melbourne! That the best angle, but you can see the MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground) to the right and the U/C Eureka on the left. I love the way the buildings are dark and the sun is setting, beautiful.

Gosh, I wont see the image of Melbourne for a good 15 hours!

Today's header image is the best one ever!

Glad I logged on in time so I could catch the surprise with the 'twisters in LA.'

Cool. I just saw the flicky tonight as well.

@ Jo, pretty panos of SE Asia!!! I hope to see one of those in employment very soon.

@ Jan, the Sao Paulo picture is drop-dead gorgeous. Perfect light, perfect saturation, perfect everything. The only thing that is not as good as it could be is the pano. What awful places to crop the picture, in my opinion. One should be able to see the myriad of skyscraper on that belo horizonte and the fascinating lights beaming from the windows. Perhaps shift the cropping a little higher up! If what you're going for is the sleek curvature of the Copan building in the foreground, then the cropping should ideally be done a little lower. It could also be the case that that isn't even your own pano, in which case you can ignore these comments! ;)

No worries, we'll just use that picture again some day. :)

Where's today's gorgeousness? :)

hahaha.....jajajjajjaj Jan. otherwise it's quite hard to say!!!! :laugh:

thanks for your efforts in informing us in this thread!

Maybe New Zeeland ???

Sometimes I almost wish you had kept the header images for longer than a day... so that the pics can sink in a bit deeper and let us enjoy them more - though then again having a different face every day helps.

This is the French Polynesian island of Bora Bora, but now that I come to think of it, I think we already had this one before, did we?"
http://skyscrapercity.com/images/forumheaders/27.jpg

@ larved: most of the images that are being used for headers are 'quoted' from the internet.

i stayed there in 2000. great place! id go again but the cost is almost prohibitive and i have better things to spend my money on. anyway the exact place of the header is pearl beach in bora bora. their website is http://pearlresorts.com/bora/main.asp if you fancy drooling.

Yes, great but expensive indeed. Problem is that either it is imported from France, or it's been taxed 200%, but a rip off either way. Go Cook Island instead. Almost as pretty, but way cheaper. And a bit more mellow also, especially compared to Pape'ete.

yes, half the cost of the holiday was the outrageous taxes... and i thought the french liked *cheap* untaxed wine.

well...

here are just some proposals:):

You got the pictures named wrong, Jan!

And I agree. Anyone who doesn't know what is Euro 2004 should be banned without question.

The city is Albi, northern bank, by the River Tarn.

http://mywebpage.netscape.com/brunob1000/albitarn.jpg

Nice one, i'll put it on there.

wwo love the one above with the brige !

Thanks Jan!

Trances, here is the original pic. I stayed in the building with the red logo on it, it's an old watermill, and has been superbly renovated to standards with only the outside structure and vaults remaining.
I like the pink-ish color of the brikwork, much like that in Toulouse.

WOW I just noticed Blackpool! I live just a few miles from there, the closest banner pic to me yet :D I think these changing banners are superb!

I found this pic doing a Google search on Lisboa but Vapour says it isn't Lisbon. But it's looking good enough however.

http://skyscrapercity.com/images/forumheaders/8.jpg

it isn't Lisbon. Lisbon doesn't have mountains like those, and even the buildings are diferent.

is it Busan in South Korea?

It is most certainly Florianópolis, Brazil. The bridge you see is the Hercílio Luz bridge:

Thank you, Edmundo! :) It's good to know the name of the beautiful city depicted in yesterday's banner. :okay:

And thanks to you also, Jan, for continuously providing us with such fine images and providing the descriptions (when possible ;) ). :cheers1:

Thanks Edmundo, I was wondering what the city was.
Here is the full pic by the way:

http://lua.weblog.com.pt/lisboa.jpg

the city is real... but that moon...

btw... I think this website probably belongs to a portuguese girl (LUA=MOON, but LUA is always a female word (like in german, portuguese has "female" and "male" words due to the articles that precede them (in german, der, die, das). I think the website owner found the picture because she only looks for pictures which show a big moon... and she THOUGHT it was Lisboa.

other images of Florianopolis

this one is from the other side of the channel, in the island, over one of those hills seen in the back of the city in the night picture. There are two bridges, the suspended one, seen in the night picture, is the right one here. Its an old bridge and its not used anymore. Just a postal card.
http://hatw.net/rep/images/Floripa_jpg.jpg

the two bridges seen from closer... also from island to continent
http://www.lina.ubbi.com.br/floripa/floripa.jpg

one of the many beaches in the island. The island is called Santa Catarina (like the state) but the Florianópolis municipality occupies the whole island, which is some 60km in lenght from north-south. There are urban areas around the island, all of them belonging to the city.
