Water Spaceship Photo

Photographer’s Note

An interesting building structure called 'Oasis 21' in Sakae, Nagoya. Also called 'water spaceship'
It has pond on the top made by glass floor and you can look down through it. So interesting to look people walking underneath through the glass.
It was very popular a few years ago and people visit over and over again, but now....a few people there. Just like the mondern ruin. Still beautiful though.
There's also an ordinary park on ground floor and cafe, restaurants, shop and info center on on the first basement level.

Good capture Tsutomu. In Rotterdam, the Netherlands there is a similar building at the subway station Blaak. Here you can see a picture of it from below.

There is not a single soul in the picture. Very interesting structure, thanks!

It looks like the saucer section of the Starship Enterprise!

Is there really a pond in that? O_O I don't believe it!

The architecture is incredible. Great angle on it... it looks like it's a ship passing over you.

I want to go there! :D
