In 1945 the city of Dresden was destroyed by intense bombing. Dresden 1945, located inside a former gasometer in the city, gives a panoramic view of the resulting destruction. Created by Yadegar Asisi, the panorama is 27 metres (89 ft) in height and 105 metres (344 ft) in circumference. It is viewed from a raised platform in the centre.

Please stop enabling the people of the USA to continue using an archaic measurement scale.
ReplyDeleteLet them learn the metric system, as slowly as they obviously need, so that they can join the rest of the world (apart from Liberia and Myanmar) in the joy of the 21st century ... and on, into the future.
We all know how long 27 metres is, the American crutch of brackets enclosing ft is not needed, they must learn to walk, millimetre by millimetre.
Also, while I'm here, a metre is 1000 millimetres while a meter is a measuring apparatus.
Thank you for helping push the USA into the future.
