Wonderful Architecture
TRLT
A2. Visitors to Suffolk have a wealth of medieval churches to explore but they also shouldn't miss some of the quirky domestic architecture found in villages like Lavenham #TRLT
replying to @Travel_Session @Travel_Session Love the wonderfully intricate details of the Cologne Cathedral. #TRLT
A2. Our Lady of the Snow Catholic Church in Sun Valley, Idaho by @McLaughlinArch, who also is the architect of @Blanket_Bay in NZ. Very interesting to see the similarities! #TRLT
A3 #TRLT I’ll offer two. The Federation Bells in Melbourne & the Dragon Bridge in DaNang, Vietnam.
A3 The pyramidal Palace of Peace and Reconciliation in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan, is quite unusual. Black on one floor, white on another, an opera house inside and - to misquote Reeves and Mortimer - some doves from above, too. @loyaltytravels #TRLT
A3 Has to be the Pineapple, Dunmore. The 4th Earl of Dunmore was governor of Virginia, where sailors used to stick a pineapple on a gatepost to announce their return home. On being forced home in 1777, Dunmore added the biggest pineapple of the lot to mark his own return. #TRLT
replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 Reminds me of the Smith Tower(in the background). It used to be the highest tower in Seattle, now it looks tiny. #trlt
A3 We were drawn to discover the architecture in Prague. And found the Dancing House to be such a departure in design. #TRLT @TheTravelCamel @LindaPeters64 @JLipowski @heidiSiefkas @pip_says @Touchse @Loyaltytravels
A3: On a trip last autumn to the Drôme department in #France, I discovered Le Palais Idéal. A remarkable feat of architecture, built by the village postman over decades by picking up pebbles while on his post round. He was over 80 years old when he finished it. #TRLT

A3: This is a facade of a building along the Malecón of #Havana #Cuba. This was an art exhibit during Biennial. The material were peanut (mani) cones made out of paper. Those that have been to Cuba know how symbolic the mani cones are. via @Loyaltytravels #TRLT #TravelTuesday
A3: How about the Shell Grotto in Margate? No-one knows for sure how or why this came to be, or how some 4.6 million British shells were spirited here to create the elaborate wall designs. But it is spectacular! #TRLT

#trlt A3: unusual? Well, how about this small Catholic chapel built out of a corrugated iron tube shelter.
Italian Chapel, Orkney. Built by PoWs in World War II.

A3 Also in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan, the 'ethno-memorial' complex at Atameken is a scale model of the country. You can admire Kazakhstan's architecture all in one place, crossing the country in under 4 hours. Like much of Nur-Sultan, it is gloriously bonkers. @loyaltytravels #TRLT
A:1 I like all different kind of architecture old and new as you get a prospective on how architecture evolved throughout #TRLT
A3: Based on a woven, beehive structure, the old king’s palaces at Nyanza in Rwanda are truly remarkable. And so well preserved! #TRLT

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @loyaltytravels A3 I think Singapore is heavily underrated for architecture, and the super trees should definitely be counted #TRLT

A3- The design of the National Museum of African American History and Culture in #WashingtonDC is quite unique
