So you were personally responsible for 165 of those cubic meters?
I enjoyed your waste water treatment plant photo. We even have one for our small city of 5,000 people.
Yes, indeed, Frank Lloyd Wright designed the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo and everything about it was really nice, I thought. I took a lot of pictures back in 1954 when I was there but in those days we shot photos always in black and white as color was not yet proven and Kodak and Fuji were just offering it.
The soldiers didn't like Fuji as it had a green tint to all photos while Kodak had a blue tint. The tint and the processing were drawbacks but I do have some color shots of the hotel.
I was stunned when they tore it down. I have seen the replacement and to me it sucks and will never be "the" Imperial Hotel. Nothing Imperial about it.
Thanks for your visits.

What a luxurious facility you have in your city!
Hmmm...never thought about photographing the wastewater facility! Interesting photo and info.
That's good for fishes ?
jph: I like to think I consume less than the average, but I'm probably mistaken.
Abe: Thank you for dropping by and following up on my FLW question.
Harry: Welcome to my Villigen blog. The facility is an important one for the health of the river, and thereby for us.
Rambling Round: I occasionally try to cover the not-so-cute but very important aspects of the organization of the villages.
Claude: Let's hope so... especially if we end up eating them!
