A new condo? I wouldn't fancy that much as it's all reclaimed land.
Why would reclaimed land be a problem BB? Huge swathes of Holland and Singapore, to mention just a couple of the many, are built on reclaimed land.

I always think more liable to subsidence i.e. it's not been left to settle very long. Then again, I know very little about such things. I'll never forget that condo on the way to Cha-Am when I did my beach walks a couple of years ago - I'd be afraid something similar would happen.
I remember when they filled in an old railway embankment at the back of my house in Plymouth - they had to let it settle for 10 years before they built on it, and that started with a solid base.

Wonderful set of pictures, I have always believed clouds make a landscape picture. Here they make a picture on there own.
Woke up this morning breathing that's a good start to the day.

There has been very little to do in our sleepy hollow over the past 6 months with everything closed so I've been capturing more of those skyscapes ...
Professional standard composition with most of those photos. You must have a damn good phone!

$200 phone, but a pretty good eye.
