Very Interesting Buildings - Photoblog

In this photoblog I'm departing from the natural world, to explore the world of man-made creations. During my travels I've run into numerous buildings with striking architecture that caught my eye.

 Classic European architecture is prevalent in this collection, but you will find some examples from North and South America as well. The time period spans from ancient to contemporary.
