(You can be forgiven for mistaking this to be a photo of an art installation in a beautiful new pavilion at this year's Venice Biennale — something to do with the human and environmental cost of mineral resource extraction, perhaps. Or for thinking that Leah Beeferman is finally going through “the step-by-step process of building a landscape of freshly fallen hills into an industrious winged city.” Or Geoff Manaugh terraforming habitable artificial hills for future intergalactic archaeologists. But this building is actually a in . Photographer unknown. Source.)

The photo is strongly reminiscent of the building-the-future montage section of "H.G. Wells' Things to Come" (1936).
