In contrast to the other thread, how about one for sculpture, architecture, urban planning, any kind of non-natural beauty. Here are some of my favorites from Washington:

The Seattle Gasworks:


Port Townsend:


Fox Theater, Spokane:


The Boeing B-29 Superfortress:



The Space Needle and MoPop (EMP):

Maybe in another 20 years they'll put another one behind the "new" one that'll be proportionally as much bigger.... and it will be called the Phalicum

Thank you. It's even more interesting since it had to be rebuild after 1944.

Crumpets, I agree with all your examples except for the EMP Museum. That thing's an eyesore.

There are lots of areas of natural beauty in Salzburg ...

Just yesterday, I was snowshoeing up a local mountain.

A perfect, sunny day. You can watch my pictures here:
