Engineering Marvels
TRLT
Visit Prince Edward Island ... https://t.co/CTRgSsdtm9 ... and don't miss spending some time in the great National Parks in PEI. #TTOT #TRLT @WelcomePEI
A2 - Not sure if it's the oldest I've been to bc I've been to several ruins but I was just at Chichen Itza and it's so impressive what that did there. All the time they are discovering just how large a site it is. It's one of the largest sites in the Yucatan. #TRLT

@TheTravelCamel A3: Most unusual marvel...Probably Burj Khalifa in #dubai
That its basically a LED billboard at night is kind of surreal. #TRLT
replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @LindaPeters64 Hi Shane. I'm in sunny Darlington this evening. On my way back from a tour in Scotland and the Orkney Islands. #trlt (My picture of Skara Brae).
A1: I’ve always loved the @NewRiverNPS Bridge and it’s definitely an Engineering Marvel! #TRLT https://t.co/SxUWicCwxj
A3 One of the most unusual engineering marvels in Uzbekistan is the Tashkent TV Tower. It is 375m tall, took six years to build (1978-85), & is still the 12th tallest tower in the world. #TRLT
replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @RTWBarefoot A2: These old gasometers in Stockholm are incredible. Built in 1893 and 1900 they are now repurposed as hotels and theatre venues #TRLT
replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel A3. I love the Forth Rail Bridge, and I’ve never seen another like it. #TRLT
replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 A3) Though many probably take the Eiffel Tower for granted but when it was built for the World Exposition it was unusual & was only going to be temporary but served as a model for future structures like the skyscrapers. #TRLT
A3: The most unusual also doesn’t seem that unusual on the surface, but the Royal Mile in @edinburgh was built on top of the old high streets. It’s an incredible feat of engineering! #trlt https://t.co/6yGjTuiyRH
replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @RTWBarefoot A2: Ġgantija Temples in Malta. Not a lot left but somewhat still standing 5600 years later #trlt
replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 A1 It is difficult to give just one. These pyramids in Sudan were quite impressive. #trlt
The Monastery's of #Meteora are pretty unique perched precariously on the tops naturally formed pillars #trlt A3
replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 #TRLT A1 - so many. We'll keep it close by with one of the most popular in Washington state. The Seattle Space Needle. Opened in April of 1962 on the first day of the World's Fair.
A4: The Puente Nuevo wasn't the only reason why I went to Ronda, Spain, but seeing a photo of the bridge was what first inspired me to go there #TRLT
A4' Travelled to Zimbabwe just to see Great Zimbabwe. The walls of the inner enclosure are built without any mortar or bonding agent. #TRLT
Maze Bar in Dalat, Vietnam. Wish I had better pictures, but it was dark. #trlt https://t.co/gAGceYYUyq
A4 #TRLT No, but it was a lifelong ambition to see Sydney Opera House & the Harbour Bridge which I was able to do 10 years ago.
replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @RTWBarefoot A2 Maybe the Neolithic monuments on the Orkney Islands. #trlt
