An aerial photo taken in Changsha, China, on September 9, 2024, shows the double spiral viewing platform of City Island on the west bank of Meixi Lake in Changsha, Central China's Hunan province. The platform looks like a ''big vortex'' rising from the lake when viewed from above. The main body of this ''whirlpool'' viewing platform is a pure steel structure, about 35 meters high and about 86 meters in diameter. Its ''vortex'' shape is mainly composed of hundreds of ring units with completely different sizes and shapes and dozens of diagonal columns. From the ground floor of the platform, visitors walk up the spiral road to get a panoramic view of the 360-degree landscape. The main body of the project is a pure steel structure building, with a total steel volume of about 7,000 tons, making it the largest double helix steel structure building in the world. Its complex and bizarre shape is mainly composed of 330 ring units of completely different sizes and shapes and 32 diagonal columns.

A monkey is jumping into the pond by taking support of a stone-tap in the premises of Swayambhunath Temple to escape the heat in Kathmandu, Nepal, on May 31, 2024. The rise in mercury in the Nepali capital, hovering above 30 degrees Celsius during the daytime, is hampering the daily life of living beings in the bowl-shaped valley, which is also known as the city of temples.

Cyrtophora cicatrosa, commonly known as the garden tent-web spider or dome spider, is a species of orb-weaver found in many parts of Asia. It is a small spider with long legs and a green body with yellowish markings. Its web is very strong but lacks sticky fibers. The web is built in a three-dimensional and complex dome, commonly found between branches of thorny plants but can be seen almost anywhere. It is often found in gardens and has a very dense, thick, three-dimensional, and strong tent-like web. The dome is supported by many lines and forms a mountain shape in the middle. A chain of green bean-like egg sacs is also a common sight in these webs. This photo was taken in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on May 24, 2024.
