At a point in time, I was so obsessed with staring back at my reflection that my friend; Doctor Edward (A Neurosurgery Resident Doctor at the moment) would tease me if we passed by a puddle of water to say; âHey, did you miss that? You did not check your reflectionâ. He is very annoying! You can find me pulling his ears here. This photo is 10 years old! Donât blame the quality.
After becoming a Local Guide, I became fascinated with Glass buildings or Glass Houses!
In December, I had to visit Ibadan; the Oyo State Capital where I came across this magnificent Glass building with the most amazing stone-paved sidewalks I have ever seen in Nigeria!
I loved the fact that not only did it reflect the surroundings, it was an iconic Glass house and could be seen from several locations. To see the name boldy written on the building you need to be standing in front of the Fresh2Go Smoothies in the complex where the Cocoa House is located.
I have read several posts about Glass houses, the most iconic being the one of an Indoor Garden booming within a Glass House in an Arid country.
Are you fascinated by Glass Houses? Have you taken a photo of one? May I see? Please add a Map link when you share. Thank you.
Thanks a lot, dear Tushar. I look forward to seeing the Glass Tower. If I come to India, I wi sure come to Gurugram, thatâs where my Nimmi lives @Nimmi94
It will be a pleasure to share a Burger with you too. @TusharSuradkar
Hello @Ewaade_3A Thanks for sharing. As someone who was born and bred in Ibadan I cannot avoid nostalgic feeling when I see your post. Femi Johnson tower has been fascinating to me. The first glass building in the Ibadan. It is simply ahead of its time in the city. Funny enough I donât know what femi Johnson look like I simple hear the name like everyone else
I am glad to show you a glimpse of home @Emmik20 Let me even giat you, why preparing to write this post, I could not remember the year it was built anymore, so, I had to go surf the internet, then, I saw what Femi Johnson looks like, He was ahead of his time even in dressing
Hello @Ewaade_3A Thanks for the link. This is my first time of reading about Femi Johnson. When I was growing up we were fed with rumors that he was an aircraft engineer in the Soviet Union. Now I know better.
Good to know he was a pal of Prof. Wole Soyinka, a man I hold in high esteem.
Glass houses are new to Russia but you know , Russia now has all the records for glass buildings in Europe. The tallest, the largest, most beautiful, most colourful. They are all there at Moscow business centre, lakhta center at St Petersburg and Yekaterinburg also has many sky scrapers.
Thank you. Do you have Glass houses around you too? Are they Botanical gardens or commercial centres? I want to see Glasshouses from around the world. @vvaibhav655
Ahah Have you taken the photo of any or do you know any historic onesuch as this place? I have to ensure my Glass building has a side walk, and you know the reason, right? @FalguniP
