Aqua tower of Chicago\\\\\
At 82 stories and over 1.9 million sf, Aqua Tower is one of few high-rises in the world that creates a community on its façade. With a hotel, apartments, condominiums, parking, offices, and one of Chicago’s largest green roofs, this multi-use tower demonstrates both architectural and technical achievements. Its outdoor terraces—which differ in shape from floor to floor based on criteria such as views, solar shading and dwelling size/type—create a strong connection to the outdoors and the city, as well as form the tower’s distinctive undulating appearance.
Aqua at Lakeshore East is a brand new architecturally acclaimed 82-story tower designed to comply with LEED certification. Aqua’s Chicago condos for sale are part of the 28-acre award-winning Lakeshore East community located where the Chicago River meets Lake Michigan adjacent to Millennium Park and the Loop Business District. Aqua is situated on Columbus Drive to the west and the 6-acre Park at Lakeshore East to the east offering access to countless recreational opportunities including the lakefront path, children’s playground, dog park, open fields, and whimsical fountain walkways. Walk to work, the Theater District, the Museum campus and Chicago’s top attractions from Lakeshore East, the best location in Chicago.

David Livingstone, the Scottish missionary and explorer, is believed to have been the first European to view Victoria Falls on 16 November 1855 from what is now known as Livingstone Island, one of two land masses in the middle of the river, immediately upstream from the falls on the Zambian side.
Livingstone named his discovery in honour of Queen Victoria, but the indigenous name, Mosi-oa-Tunya — “the smoke that thunders” — is also well known. Official usage in Zambia, such as the national park, is Mosi-oa-Tunya and on the Zimbabwean side, Victoria Falls applies to the national park[and town. The World Heritage List officially recognizes both names.

About 100 years ago, William Bourn and his wife Agnes arrived at a name for their 16-acre garden by combining the first two letters from key words in William’s credo: “Fight for a just cause; Love your fellow man; Live a good life.” Set in a 654-acre wooded estate near the town of Woodside, hedges and brick walls provide contrast for a profusion of hardy shrubs and enclose a series of formal gardens behind the stately house, making it an outstanding example of the late 19th-century gardening style that reintroduced Italian formality. Filoli has served as the setting for several Hollywood films, such as Warren Beatty’s Heaven Can Wait, and the 1980s TV series Dynasty.

St Louis’s Victorian-era Missouri Botanical Garden is known locally as Shaw’s Garden after founding botanist and philanthropist Henry Shaw. Its show stopper is a geodesic dome called the Climatron (pictured). Covering half an acre, the conservatory is home to a rainforest-themed collection of 1,400 species of plants, such as banana, cacao, coffee and many wild-collected orchids, as well as a river aquarium with exotic fish. Pools and waterfalls complete the feel of a lush tropical rainforest, and glass sculptures by Dale Chihuly float in the lily ponds leading to the Climatron.
