The Towers of Lanis Rhyl Landemiriam


In old Lanis Rhyl Landemiriam are several towers called the Towers of Miriam. The tallest tower is called Bawn Hae, and you can actually see the river Miriam from it's top most window.

Unwed elf maidens are forbidden from climbing the towers for fear that their emotions will get the best of them, and they'll throw themselves out over unrequited love for some elf boy.

The towers resemble unopened flower blooms, and the slender stem-like columns sway in the wind.

The bricks of the tower, like all bricks of the city are iridescent, changing color with the movement of the sun. The bricks of the bloom-like turrets of the towers are richly colored scarlet reds, royal blues, sun yellows, and blushing purples.

New ideas for green architecture - number 5, the South Korean complex looks particularly interesting
