Nice buildings

[user 139760]

See, seeing stuff like that reminds me of when I walk home; what kind of rich a-hole bribed, or seduced, or conned his way into enough money to be able to afford that?!?!

And, more importantly...can I do it too? ;-)

The trick is to go in the house and kill the owner.

Don't you get arrested  when that happens? Don't get me wrong, I'm game, but I'd like to actually LIVE in the place more than 4 minutes ;-)

That is the British Columbia Parliament Building, in Victoria BC.    I've been there about four times.  It's the most ornate building I've seen in person.   It's lit up every night which is really pretty as well.

A 25 year old architecture won a contest to design it in 1893.  He was an English immigrant.

Ahh that's really cool. It looks great! Thanks for sharing! :]

The same architect designed this across the street pretty much, on the harbour.   The Empress Hotel.

It needs some maintenance, there is green growing on it!

lol.  The 'prized' imported English Ivy.  They have Ivy removal work bees every year apparently to keep it out of the grounds.

I do love unusual looking buildings, especially old ones. 

This will always be one of my most favourite buildings: 

 The architecture throughout is quite breathtaking. 


I always find London quite sad these days. There are so many stunning older buildings (The Tower of London for example), but they are being swamped by these great glass monstrosities, and they just aren't anywhere near as appealing.

I feel personally attacked. 

Nah but, i like your post as well. Also Loaded's post. There's something monumental about it.

Lol, sorry Volt 

I will concede there is some great designing behind them, but they just don't have the same impact

It's fine, haha. I made this thread to see what other people liked. :]

I know I'm at home when they call me "Loaded".

The only thing to make me more at home is to go full Australian, and say "**** off, Loaded!"
