replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel Karnak was amazing. We visited in the day and then went back at night. They put on a great show and story telling after dark. #TRLT
replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @junkkDNA @afewmilesmore A3 coliseum in Rome. That wasnt set up at all. #TRLT
A3: Down-selecting to just three examples, the Devils Den and Pentre Ifan cromlechs, and, at the other end of the scale, Stonehenge (recent news of its early βmovementβ here: https://t.co/2Y28IoXKo7) always impress. Monumental effort. π

A3. Sagrada Familia, Barcelona, made me wonder if God is a jellyfish. Yeah, strange line of thought. Wrote an essay was published on Burrow Press.π really hit me as profound. I said best way to view it is to have someone wheel you around lying on your back on a gurney ha. #TRLT
replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @junkkDNA @afewmilesmore Q3: Ok, I'm cheating here a bit. I would like to drop Edoras/Mt Sunday in NZ into this chat. Always been obsessed with filming locations and how sets are built. My LoTR extended DVD has a whole 1h on the production of sets in NZ and I'd love to check it out one day #TRLT
A3 #TRLT I wondered what the monks who built the Katshki Pillar in #Georgia were thinking. They wanted to be alone, or maybe closer to heaven above? #architecture
A3: We have to mention Meteora here. Exploring this otherworldly landscape of towering rocks and precariously perched monasteries is a must on any trip to northern Greece. https://t.co/sURvYLbX2O #TRLT
A3 Roman ruins are fascinating. And we have found them so far flung around Europe too! #TRLT @junkkdna @afewmilesmore
A3. Knossos,Crete. Strongly felt it was a funerary site, & less a temple as generally accepted, especially being so close to Egypt. Rumors of Atlantis ties too! @BradtGuides @LindaPeters64 @RTWBarefoot @pip_says @Touchse @HeidiSiefkas @JLipowski @travelcamel #TRLT

A3- The #Parthenon in #Athens is already impressive, but when you realize it's on top of the acropolis, it really makes you wonder.

A3. I would say Petra! The whole place made me wonder how they constructed it. So magnificent. π #TRLT
A3: an architecture or structure that made me wonder was this #SCAD school which was a former prison and backs onto Savannah's iconic city cemetary

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @SoloTravelStory @BradtGuides The stations of the Tashkent Metro in Uzbekistan are all different and everyone is an amazing work of art. #TRLT
replying to @TravelAtWill @TravelAtWill @LindaPeters64 @CaitlinKellyNYC A2 Granada is wonderful. I love the views of La Alhambra from the Albycin, the other side of the city (2003). #trlt #traveltuesday

@TheTravelCamel @junkkDNA @afewmilesmore A3 Quite a few in #Rome, amazing buildings, impressive indeed!

A3: The Messe Basel New Hall in Basel, Switzerland. I was so enthralled by the structure and I literally laid on the ground to take it in (and get a photo!). #trlt https://t.co/9NVzxbkqte
replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @junkkDNA @afewmilesmore A3: Todai-Ji temple in Nara Japan is the biggest wood building in the world, it's 1300 years old, has the biggest bronze buddha inside and builders used NO glue or nails to assemble it! π± #TRLT
