| The Botanical Building in Balboa Park, San Diego. The Botanical Building, at 250 feet long by 75 feet wide and 60 feet tall, was the largest wood lath structure in the world when it was built in 1915 for the Panama-California Exposition. The Botanical Building, located on the Prado, west of the Museum of Art, contains about 2,100 permanent tropical plants along with changing seasonal flowers. The Lily Pond, just south of the Botanical Building, is an eloquent example of the use of reflecting pools to enhance architecture. The 193' by 43' foot pond and smaller companion pool were originally referred to as Las Lagunas de las Flores (The Lakes of the Flowers) and were designed as aquatic gardens. The pools contain exotic water lilies and lotus which bloom spring through fall. Image ID: 28824 Location: Balboa Park, San Diego, California, USA Pano dimensions: 6045 x 9876 | The Giraffe Traps, or what is officially known as Two Running Violet V Forms, was the second piece in the Stuart Collection at University of California San Diego (UCSD). Commissioned in 1983 and produced by Robert Irwin, the odd fence resides in the eucalyptus grove between Mandeville Auditorium and Central Library. Image ID: 12842 Location: University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, USA | Stonehenge, or what is officially known as the La Jolla Project, was the third piece in the Stuart Collection at University of California San Diego (UCSD). Commissioned in 1984 and produced by Richard Fleishner, the granite blocks are spread on the lawn south of Galbraith Hall on Revelle College at UCSD.

| Vices and Virtues, part of the Stuart Collection and University of California, San Diego (UCSD). Artist Bruce Naumann created Vices and Virtues in 1988 along the top of the Charles Lee Powell Structural Systems Laboratory at UCSD. Vices and virtues named in alternating neon light blink bizarrely around the building, lighting the night sky at UCSD. Very odd.
