Apple's New HQ

This is just one picture of several you can check out by clicking the pic above. This is an image of Apple's design for their new HQ. They plan to make the campus nearly 80% green out of the150 acre lot by planting over 2300 trees among other things detailed in the article..  Some of the features include a solar paneled roof, underground parking, track for employees to run/walk around while on break. The building will have full self sufficient power as well! Sounds like a pretty awesome building if you ask me. Bad news is that it won't be finished until around 2015.
