Wonderful Architecture

A3: The Atomium – Belgium’s answer to the Eiffel Tower – is a sight to behold. The set of silver balls represents an iron molecule magnified 165 million times. But we’re not quite sure how you get inside… #TRLT
replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @junkkDNA @afewmilesmore A3) Having studied architecture I wanted to see the Eiffel Tower in person because it helped change how structures are built. Prior to its construction buildings were mainly wood and/or masonry which limited their height. Afterwards the sky was the limit. #TRLT
replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @junkkDNA @afewmilesmore A3. Petra. The size of it, the design of the structures carved in the mountains. It boggles my brain. #TRLT
replying to @HeidiSiefkas @HeidiSiefkas @LindaPeters64 @CaitlinKellyNYC It was great to see Alhambra from all over the city. #TRLT
replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 @junkkDNA @afewmilesmore A3: A sad reminder of a tragic event, but the Bomb dome in Hiroshima survived the atomic bombing in 1945. That is such a wonder in itself. #TRLT

@TheTravelCamel @junkkDNA @afewmilesmore A3. The Alhambra Palace in Granada blew me away!

@TheTravelCamel @afewmilesmore A3. We see so many accidents happening across world due to the failure in structure in age of technology but I often wonder how the age old construction still stand tall & strong and was constructed without advanced tech.
Sharing some many centuries' old construction #TRLT
A3: Larabanga Mosque. Situated close to the entrance of Mole National Park, this is the oldest and best known of the surreal West Sudanese-style mud-and-stick mosques that stud northeast Ghana. #TRLT
replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @junkkDNA @afewmilesmore A3: Bridges always make me wonder. How? :-) #TRLT Here I got Seneca Falls NY, Fairbanks Alaska, Singapore and NY City bridges at night. #bridges

The Traveller’s Colouring Book is packed with illustrations of architectural wonders. Can you guess where these sketches are from? https://t.co/VLRhGAUjn5 #TRLT
replying to @PataDeGatoTV @PataDeGatoTV @TheTravelCamel @junkkDNA @afewmilesmore Yes, that's truly amazing. #TRLT
A4: The Pineapple in Dunmore has to be up there! Has anyone else ever spotted any food-shaped buildings? https://t.co/YWHIBdFlHs #TRLT
A3 Visiting the bridge in Mostar in Bosnia-Herzegovina was overwhelming (for me) because of its recent history, the war that only ended 1995. #TRLT
A4: Portmeirion, N Wales. A unique, brilliant pastiche of Italian fishing villages, with Arts & Crafts, Classical and Palladian influences, false perspectives, fake windows, life-size figurines. A 'home for fallen buildings' rescued from elsewhere. @BradtGuides @junkkdna #TRLT
replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @junkkDNA @afewmilesmore The Red pyramid at Dashur, Egypt. 45 minutes south of Giza, the first perfectly executed example of a massive funereal pyramid from the “Old Kingdom”. #TRLT
A4 #TRLT My turn to say Sydney Opera House. I had always wanted to see it & felt very fortunate to go inside.
replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @junkkDNA @afewmilesmore A3 #TRLT Well, back to Chaco. There was no timber within 70 miles of the canyon and they didn't have the technology of the wheel, but still managed to build many of the largest buildings ever constructed in North America until the 19th century, aligning them to celestial cycles
