Q3: Which architecture or structure made you wonder @junkkdna @afewmilesmore #TRLT
It has to be Gaudi's Sagrada Familia, started almost 100 years ago and still not finished. The exterior detail is incredible but it's the organic flow of the interior that inspired me.

A3. I was intrigued by the beautiful stone towers in Ushguli, Svaneti, Georgia. Built apparently for defensive purposes in one of the highest villages in Europe #TRLT

A3: Raby Castle in Co. Durham. The gold ceiling in the octagonal drawing room must have taken some work. Also, the entrance hall ceiling was raised in order for carriages to be driven in one side and out the other @junkkdna @afewmilesmore #TRLT

A3: Construction started on Pyongyang’s Ryugyong Hotel back in 1987, but this Shard-esque 105-storey building was dogged by complications from day one. To this day, it remains unfinished! #TRLT

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @junkkDNA @afewmilesmore A3. San Xiaver del Bac Mission in Tucson is a quiet unusual building for the USA. It’s been a part of Mexico and then the USA, it has baroque style and shell symbols among many more interesting details including unique construction techniques. 📸: https://t.co/2XVgUYPoyn #TRLT

A3: I always wonder what was going through the mind of this artist when he designed this. This is in a remote place in St Helens in the north west of England #TRLT

A3: No photo, but the Hypostyle Hall in the Temple of Karnak is Luxor is the most incredible structure I've seen. Wandering through this forest of stone pillars is one of my favourite travel experiences. #TRLT

A3 The architecture of Egypt always made me wonder. Such massive size and design in the construction. https://t.co/fqszginNOg #TRLT @junkkdna @afewmilesmore

A3 #TRLT I guess I did go somewhere specifically to see architecture, Pisa. This is a place I wondered a lot about the challenges of building it.

A3: We’re in awe of the Icehotel. Reconstructed very year using blocks of ice hewn from the Torne River, the finished structure is oh-so cool (pun intended!). Who here is keen to visit? #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 ‘movement’ here: https://t.co/2Y28IoXKo7) always impress. Monumental effort. 😉

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.🙂 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

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.

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @junkkDNA @afewmilesmore A3: I did wander the Peten/Mirador Basins for a few weeks many moons ago. The age/design/challenges did make me wonder about the folks who worked/lived there, and the Mayan civilization in general. #trlt

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! 😱 #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

@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.
