Two “tree circles” can be seen in this Overview of a forest in Miyazaki Prefecture in the south of Japan. The patterns are rooted in a more than 50-year-old forestry experiment that sought to study the effects of forest density on the growth of Japanese cedar trees. In 1973, more than 700 trees were planted at 10 degree radial increments in a sequence of concentric circles, creating the mesmerizing patterns seen today. Rather than cut down the trees years ago as planned, the forest has been preserved.

The Jiaozhou Bay Bridge — connecting Qingdao and Huangdao, China — is the world’s longest bridge, spanning 25.84 miles (41.58 km). The construction used 450,000 tons of steel and 2.3 million cubic meters of concrete. The bridge is T-shaped with an over-water, semi-directional interchange to allow for a third directional exit/entry from Hongdao Island.
