Steg Valley (Liechtenstein)


VS

St Basil's Cathedral (Russia)

St Basil's Cathedral (Russia)

Love this building!

Purgative

The Valley. Looks glorious. It just makes you want to go for a long walk along it and then take a dip in that cool blue water.

Necro

Yeah agree with bubblypop

St Basil's Cathedral (Russia)

Class building.

cdeb

It's a lovely valley, but it's no match for what isn't close to the finest building in Russia.

So St Basil's for me.

Omackeral

St. Basil's Cathedral advances to Round 2

Omackeral

Next bout is scheduled for 10:30AM

HeidiHeidi

St. Basil's for me.


So unusual, brought a smile to my face, the complete antidote to the very staid, grim Kremlin beside it.

Tauriel

Steg Valley

It's just so picturesque.

Angkor Wat (Cambodia)



VS

Øresund Bridge (Sweden)

Necro

Both pretty cool but going for the ancient city of awesomeness

Angkor Wat (Cambodia)

ChannelNo5

St Basil's Cathedral (Russia)

Øresund Bridge (Sweden)

Can't resist a good underwater tunnel and bridge!!

cdeb

I think Angkor is probably an even more impressive feat technologically, when you consider what was available to the respective builders.

Again, not an easy choice, but Angkor Wat for me here.

Purgative

An 8km bridge that goes to an artificial island and then turns into a tunnel. What's not to love?

ChannelNo5

Øresund Bridge (Sweden) it just an amazing feat of engineering

I remember my first time seeing that bridge from an aeroplane, could not understand where it was going! Thought maybe it hadn't been finished...

But, my vote for Ankor Wat, amazing temple, amazing country

HeidiHeidi

Oresund Bridge for me.


That over/under aspect of it just fascinates me, plus it looks like a beautiful piece of engineering.

Badly Drunk Boy

I'm torn but Øresund Bridge (Sweden) just pips it for me, even though they are very different from each other.As has already been said, the engineering is beautiful!

Oresund Bridge.

Close one but dealing with the sea is rarely easy and this is an engineering masterclass.

Going for the Salt Mine here as there are some nice old towns already through

breezy1985

That Salt mine has been on my to do list for a while now so definitely salt mine for me

HeidiHeidi

Ooof, that's a hard one!!


But I'll have to go for Dubrovnik - I was absolutely blown away by it when I first saw it, it's still far and away the most beautiful Old Town I've ever been in, and the walls make for a fabulous afternoon walk. Plus, it had the **** bombed out of it in the war (completely needlessly), and has been beautifully and sensitively restored.
