    Hey, I know this roof! Isn't this the big, green roof in California? Pictures about this huge dome has always fascinated me – The use of solar panels to maximize the use of sunlight is quite genius, as well!

    I never would've expected that this kind of roof will be possible. It's really amazing how we humans can come up with ideas that can shock the world. I have to admit, I give my hats off to Jessica for this one.
