I've labeled what's a main street out here and how it comes in through a arched area . And goes around a white square shaped object and there's some kind of a black opening, I'll call it a black opening. What it is, is just a black rectangle against the white concrete like, "C" shaped buildings and "H" shaped building. And they are very distorted views of what the buildings look like. I got a feeling like they're much larger and you can just define the "C" part, you know like the legs of the "C" and the legs of the "H", like the "H" building is much wider and thicker. But I'm not sure which side the "H" is formed on, it's just #66: an "H" shaped building. Okay, in terms of numbers of stories, are these #01: single story or multi story buildings? Oh, they're multi story. They're like 5 or 6 stories, somewhere between 4 and 6. #66: And then when I ask you what was to the southeast of this? #01: There's a lake with an island in it, a lake or a #66: pond with some kind of an island in it. Okay. Anything else? #01: That's all.
