Black Diamond

The biggest diamond ever found in the world. Also the most "accessible" diamond that need no extra surveillance to keep it away from theft. It's of zero degree of portability :)

Black Diamond safekeeps a lot of treasures (both literature and art) inside nonetheless. It is meant for all rather than just rich ladies. This gem glows in amazing charm along the river bank of Sydhavnen.

Beautiful and the name itself is very mysterious already.

Yeah can't underestimate the artistic sensitivity of this small Scandinavian country. Wonder if their architectural wisdom is rooted in LEGO :)

Gonna put more pics of nice bldgs there soon.
