This is the Gagudju Crocodile Holiday Inn in the center of the Kakadu national Park in Northern Territory, Australia.

This hotel owes its shape to the fact that Kakadu National Park is the largest in Australia and has more than 10,000 crocodiles.

If this is correct, please open the next challenge to everyone as I will not be able to monitor a challenge.

Thats correct. The domes of the Mitchell Park Horticultural Conservatory were the world's first conoidal domes. They cover 45,000 sq. feet and were constructed over a period of 8 years from 1959 to 1967.

This is Delicate Arch, one of over 2000 natural sandstone arches in Arches National Park, Utah, USA. The park is located on the Colorado River 6 km north of Moab.

Here's another arch from this area: Double O Arch

This structure is a communications and observations tower. It's called Tokyo Tower and is located in the Shiba-koen district of Minato, Tokyo/Japan.

Correct, Johanna. I visited the tower in 2007, on my trip to Japan. It was the tallest free standing tower in the world when it was built.

As per Johanna's wishes, the challenge is now opened to whoever wishes to post the next challenge.
