I love good architecture and there have been some good ones in the last ten years. Which is your favorite? I'll go with Beijing Stadium:

    I like that one too, mostly because of the lighting and surroundings I think - and the phallic symbol in London (more English humor? LOL) because it has some sort of fantasy like quality - like something you would see in a tolkin novel. Actually I think modern architecture is pretty ugly actually. But I guess a city should look artificial. I like the old victorian, tudor, and colonial styles of buildings you see along the East coast. They might not be as massive and overpowering, but they have a good real good aesthetic feel about them.

      I love those old style homes. You see them on the west coast also. I'm not crazy about a lot of modern architecture, but these ten are pretty impressive in some way or another.

      Yes. I even walked through George Washinton's home at Mt. Vernon, and his slave quarters also. I can't say I liked the architecture of the slave quarters much though.

    The CCTV Headquarters in Beijing is one awesome looking building.

    Looking at the cars below thats one major span, must have been something
    working up there.

      That would be my second favorite. Totally unique look.

    Just wondered, Tim. I love the look and feel of the NE - especially in Autumn when the colors change. There's just something real peaceful about the colonial settings. But I really like Tudor. I never got to England when I was in Europe, but I can imagine the feel of the countryside over there.
