replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 Is the facade cut from the cliff or does the rock come from elsewhere? #TRLT

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

A3. Indeed unusual (and downright bizarre) tower in oil-rich Kazakhstan 🇰🇿! Probably up there with Alex Entertainment Centre in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan ! Land of the Weird 🇹🇲 #TRLT https://t.co/xjkSmMvtKU

replying to @SeatownNative @SeatownNative @TheTravelCamel @RTWBarefoot Great picture. When I first went to Rome on my honeymoon, it was raining so hard that I almost mistook the Forum for a building site. 😀 #TRLT

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel A3. I love the Forth Rail Bridge, and I’ve never seen another like it. #TRLT

replying to @StuartMHurlbut @StuartMHurlbut @TheTravelCamel Hi Stuart, Houses at Skara Brae fascinate, made of stacked stone slabs, built into midden, mounds made of waste material like animal bones and bits of rubbish. The midden served as a great insulator, keeping the inside of these houses warm despite the cold Scottish climate. #TRLT

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @RTWBarefoot Thx. Bridges fascinates we! Like how did we figure out we can do it. How do we know how much weight it can take, how do we know it will last? #trlt and how many people gave their lives during construction.

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 @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 @TheTravelCamel That’s a great idea. So many railway tunnels get bricked back up and forgotten. #TRLT

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 #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.

A3: An unusual Engineering Marvel that I've seen is Lake Havasu's London Bridge. Built in the 1830s it formerly spanned the River Thames in London, England.
Dismantled in 1967, the blocks from the original bridge, numbered & transported to reconstruct the bridge in Arizona.
