replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @postcardsplaces Modern marvels amaze. The way people were able 2 use ingenuity in 'ancient', or decades old timing is impressive. Constantly amazed at all advances have been made in ag, but gr8 respect how farmers always 'made it happen' -on display daily at our https://t.co/CgXq2xkKRr #trlt

@TheTravelCamel @postcardsplaces Q1: Do you prefer ancient or modern Engineering Marvels or both? Share a favourite of each category! via

#TRLT
A2: I do like older achievements because of what it took to pull them off. Such as these massive suspension bridges in #Nepal
TheTravelCamel
replying to @BradtGuides @BradtGuides Yes, one of my favourite places in Africa. #TRLT

A1: I'd rate the canals in Bruges, Belgium as a somewhat ancient engineering marvel (and you can see how still the water gets at times). #TRLT

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @postcardsplaces A1: Both and it can vary based on the degree of marvellousness (just inventing the word) :) Among the modern marvels, the Panama Canal is a fav. #TRLT https://t.co/dJtpWylH2H

replying to @RCMtalks @RCMtalks @TheTravelCamel @postcardsplaces Me too! However, I also like when new structures include a ridiculous amount of tech and design, like perfect acoustics. #TRLT

@StuartMHurlbut @HeidiSiefkas @postcardsplaces Hi Stuart, well, in my opinion, no need to choose, as long as you have this type of great options from both sides :)

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @RTWBarefoot @LindaPeters64 @Touchse @pip_says @HeidiSiefkas It's hit 29C in Bradford - I know it's been hotter than that in the South of England and the Midlands. #TRLT

A2: the Great Wheel at Laxey, Isle of Man. Built in 1854 to pump water from the Glen Mooar part of the Great Laxey Mines industrial complex. At one point, this mine produced more zinc than every other mine in Britain combined. #IndustrialHeritage @postcardsplaces #TRLT

A1: I travelled to Egypt, in part, to specifically see the pyramids in Giza. It was worthy of a visit of itself, plus there were plenty of other attractions to see #TRLT

A2: Editor Laura travelled by rail in Scotland earlier this summer just so she could cross the epic Forth Bridge. And what an engineering masterpiece it is 😍 #TRLT

@StuartMHurlbut @TheTravelCamel @LindaPeters64 @Touchse @pip_says @HeidiSiefkas all: remember the main issue isn't the temperature itself, it's that we don't have housing or infrastructure that's designed for heat.
Also, humidity. Feckton of humidity. #trlt !

replying to @ConciergeQ @ConciergeQ @RCMtalks @postcardsplaces Ah yes - perfect acoustics. Whenever I go to a theatre or concert hall for the first time, I pay attention to the acoustics. Same applies before I deliver a speech. #TRLT

A2 #TRLT When I was in Singapore, I took a couple of days to go up to Malaysia to see the Petronas Towers. I first saw a picture in the paper when they opened & thought at the time, I’ll never see it. 20 years later I made it.

replying to @ChinaMatt @ChinaMatt @StuartMHurlbut @HeidiSiefkas @postcardsplaces Same. I've always enjoyed Singapore, visited for the first time already almost 30 years ago on my way to Australia. It was fascinating then and it still is, my latest visit was 2 years ago. Also, @ChangiAirport is my favorite airport of the modern airports, beautiful! #TRLT

A2 Tashkent TV Tower is an engineering masterpiece. When it was built it was the 4th tallest building in the world, & its structure is designed to flex in the case of an earthquake. #TRLT
BradtGuides
A2: Does the Burana Tower count as an engineering marvel? It was a true highlight of Carys's trip to Kyrgyzstan, particularly given that it is one of Central Asia's oldest architectural constructions. It has truly stood the test of time! #TRLT
