Am I not playing werewolf here, who we lynching come on worldwide villagers

Pripyat for me, very hard to call this one.


But the Sanctuary, despite initial appearaces to me anyway, is new, and is not even finished! Still sounds like a bit of a building site (public allowed in with hard hats).


And some more googling tells me that the amusement park in Pripyat was due to officially open literally a few days after the Chernobyl explosion, which makes it even more eerie and sad.

Pripyat - because for me when I think of Ukraine I instantly think of chernobyl. Maybe thats not a good thing, but its something distinctive for me anyway

I was just reading that, didn't know it, although it is very impressive that it is all made of wood.

A vote for Pripyat as well.

There's a rumour that it was opened anyway (1st May - big communist celebration) to distract people from the disaster. Which is nastily cynical.

Sagrada Familia

Always loved this building, long before I ever saw it in real life, have seen it now a few times & it does not disappoint.

It's probably going to lose, but voting for Leitisvatn.
I'm totally fascinated by this landscape.

Leitisvatn - Looks somewhere you could spent hours just chilling

Badly Drunk Boy

Leitisvatn (Denmark). A very dramatic, natural sight to behold. Sagrada Familia is lovely when it isn't covered in scaffolding. (Maybe it's better now.)

Tis a fine lake, but La Sagrada Familia is unique and mind-blowing. Even more mad that it won't be finished for decades.

SineadSpears

Leitisvatn -
From the first time I seen it, the other one doesn't appeal to me at all. It looks like its covered in limescale & it makes me feel a bit weird

Tauriel

Leitisvatn (Denmark)

Just stunning

Oh now..... I might have to resort to tossing a coin here..... how on earth to choose between those two???


One natural, and strikingly beautiful (in that picture anyway)


One built, on an epic scale, by a mad genius architect (and yes, it's not finished either, but I can't see it in the same light as the Thai Sanctuary!)


I think I'll have to go for the Sagrada Familia, for its epicness, and the Gaudi wackiness, and it's absolutely beautiful, and it's practically the symbol of Barcelona (if not officially?)

If it helps, I'm going to go with the exact same logic as you to end up with Leitisvatn.

So all that effort and it cancels out

Sagrada Familia
Legendary building, and its not even complete yet

Leitisvatn there can't be that many lakes as close to the sea and as dramatic looking as Leitisvatn. Unique and beautiful much like myself.

Although surprised either have got this far
I’d have a clapper bridge ahead of either

This is one where I genuinely don't mind which goes through (except that it means the other one gets knocked out) - both absolutely stunning in completely different ways.
