Why is east Asian architecture so comfy?
Our landmark ranks firmly on the meme tier.

We have shitty version of your tower
Chase Cox
Camden Wright
That does look kinda similar, yeah. What city?
Hunter Howard
We don't have to build what nature have already.

Sounds like a lazy copout to me Ragnar.

"The monument was created by sculptor Fritz Roed from Bryne and was unveiled by King Olav V of Norway in 1983. The three bronze swords stand 10 metres (33 ft) tall and are planted into the rock of a small hill next to the fjord. They commemorate the historic Battle of Hafrsfjord which by tradition took place there in the year 872, when King Harald Fairhair gathered all of Norway under one crown. The largest sword represents the victorious Harald, and the two smaller swords represent the defeated petty kings. The monument also represents peace, since the swords are planted into solid rock, so they may never be removed"

and a newly built tower by Thyssen-Krupp for testing elevators

Pachacutec desu
Aaron Sanchez
I had no idea this monument was built so recently.
Angel Nelson
Grayson Watson
Lucky 38?
Adam Morales
Evan Moore
Most prominent landmark in my town.
Hunter Green
Jayden Sullivan
There are others, more remarked but subtle in my opinion. This place they buried a king. They put his chest into the earth and placed thousands of large boulders upon it. None has ever dug it up. It was done before the viking age, maybe around 200 BCE. I like this more.
Matthew Rivera
Jacob Barnes
Cool catsle
Evan Brown
Very nice. Imagine the builders who worked on those cliffs. Good men.
Jacob Jenkins
Alexander Rogers
I had a couple high school friends get busted by rangers here for smoking weed many years ago.
Nolan Baker
Caleb Reyes
That's really cool. What were Nordics even doing back then? I know there have been humans in Scandinavia for a very long time but I don't know details until the Vikings.
Carter Fisher
Cooper Perez
Jaxon Morgan
Back then they were settled. A warrior-like people. I am not trying to overestimate my ancestor or anything but it is the truth. Good fucking men. I know they liked to settle by the coast, they were maritime, liked to fish and defended themselves when necessary.
William Reyes
Samuel Diaz
Julian Wright
I like Chicago. Fuck the haters.
Julian Harris
I'd love to visit India some time, especially since I am male
My sister visited your country 2-3 years ago and was assaulted by a group of men banging on a taxi door. I would not recommend visiting India for anyone who is female
Nathaniel Baker
Someone tried to rape my sister in Kyrgyzstan while she was there with the Peace Corps. Central and South Asia are a bunch of angry incels.
Matthew Campbell
Only a small slice of Chicago is shit, the rest of the city is doing quite well for a Rust Belt city. It diversified into finance and tech unlike Detroit, Cincinnati, etc. That being said, there's always room for improvement
That fucking sucks, I'm sorry to hear that. I honestly wish I had more money to travel the world to make up for the fact that I'm probably not going to get raped, but funds are short right now
Samuel Gonzalez
>tfw the city hall is the only real landmark in your city
Ethan Cooper
>That fucking sucks, I'm sorry to hear that.
It ended okay, she managed to fight him off and wasn't far from safety. My sister isn't some helpless girly girl lol she probably hurt him more than he hurt her. Still, that shit leaves a psychological mark of course.
Zachary Howard
Ignore the landmarks. What is more beautiful? The people, the community. Family. That is what we are.
Joseph Long
>What is more beautiful?
fjords
Brayden Clark
The local cathedral has recently been approved as a UNESCO cultural heritage site.
Zachary Gutierrez
Fjords are just overrated flooded valleys. I could take on person, be it a romani beggar or an ex-convict. He is nicer than a fjord.
Chase Campbell
El la sagrada abominacion
Adrian Kelly
This thing, I guess.
There's not really of note to see in this country's ugly cities.
Sebastian Price
good courtyard
Jaxson Harris
>becomes angery
Liam Foster
is that the same design as the Italian bridge that collapsed?
Cameron Brooks
Nothing exciting. Guess where.
Bentley Butler
Southampton
Christopher King
Southampton, too easy
Carter Mitchell
Thanks. It really does stand out in the silhouette of the town from many directions, alongside the tower of the main church about a quarter mile or half mile away, the rightmost tower in this photo.
Angel Ross
Isaac White
Colton Flores
I wish Germany had more UNESCO sites, but I'm afraid Britain and the USA bombed a bit too much
Charles Parker
I took this one myself
Caleb Gray
We're doing alright, no worries.
Austin Mitchell

Josiah Bailey
you live in a tourist village?
Chase Sanders
a pair of these on tall concrete pillars guarding an end of the bridge leading to the capitol building
Jayden Barnes
Lincoln Powell
is there really a castle near the Smoky Mountains? or am I getting this wrong
Jacob Evans
do you have any pictures of Arabesque architecture?
Adrian Stewart
cringe
Lincoln Gonzalez
This Turkish military cemetery comes to mind. Does it count?
Jacob Evans
Bombing cultural artifacts is ISIS tier
Chase Watson
Or maybe this one
It's a big building built using guadua (a type of bamboo)
Brayden Harris
that's interesting, I thought you were more influenced by Arabic architecture during Crusader times before the Ottoman empire
I don't really get many vacation days but I would like to visit Sicily, Malta, and Cyprus all in one trip soon.
Adam Taylor
Unlike the direct vandal intentions those evil people, in the case of WWII it was in the course of the war that those buildings were destroyed, it can't be helped. Factories and nexuses of war production are targets in war. If they cared so much they could move their infrastructure elsewhere, but that's not realistic, and neither is pairing the exploits of those middle eastern vermin with the war against the axis powers.
Nathaniel Anderson
Probably.
Nothing that happens in this shithole has the capacity of surprising me anymore
Angel Wright
Wow, I didn't know bamboo grew in South America. Did the colonists who traveled across the Alasakan Land Bridge bring it with them, or was it a situation of Pangaea bringing it to the landmass directly?
Eli Allen

This could easily be a Final Fantasy XIV screenshot
Colton Martin
You should squeeze Sardinia in there too and eat casu marzu. I'm being unironic, I'm really curious about it.
Brody Turner
Most of our landmarks are built by the Order of st.John. That windmill was built by them, for example. I don't know much about architecture, but I don't know how much influence the Arabs left in it.
Christopher Stewart
Jaxson Cook
For the most part.
The university at the top is the reason of being for the whole city.
Adrian Richardson
Thanks for the history lesson amigo
Julian Taylor
Coimbra has a Roman aqueduct, yes?
Jordan Barnes
The castle is pretty much in the city center and the highest point of the city.
>Unlike the direct vandal intentions those evil people, in the case of WWII it was in the course of the war
Fucking kek.
Allies bombed city centers all the time on purpose. Not because industry, but muh revenge and muh terror.
Thomas Robinson
It seem that It's native to this continent. They are common where I live. A part of the buildings in the university that I attend are surrounded by them.
This is how they look from above.
Adam Young
No. We have a roman-like aqueduct built by a christian king.
We do have a roman cryptoporticus, though. Coimbra was a very small roman town (Aeminium), so most roman-related things were at Conímbriga nearby, where we got the name from.
Those ruins are pretty great.
Ethan Flores
Np. The knights really left their mark here. If you manage to visit, I hope you enjoy it.
Carter Thomas
That's great, I need to visit Colombia soon. There's too much nature getting raped by climate change right now.
I can't visit the Great Barrier Reef because it's died now, simply because I was born only 30 years ago. It's an absolute fucking shame that we are destroying our planet
Thomas Roberts
>Great Barrier Reef...died now
It's not though? It's still around, though not as much as it was before we fucked shit up. And admittedly you probably shouldn't be visiting it but I'm sure that you'd be able to take a boat tour or something that has you able to see it without being in direct contact with it.
Asher Hill

heavy ordinance isn't spent with the abstract intention of causing fear from annihilation, it has a purpose, that purpose is the destruction of war materials and the enemy's ability to maintain resistance
sorties over europe were an expense in fuel, material, and manpower that were too valuable to risk on intangible psychological consequences of the mission, they must have immediate measurable results to the war effort!
Dominic Green
Literally dindu.
Nolan Lopez
I don't deny that fanciful treasures weren't destroyed, nor that many thousands of people died, but then, they were the workers producing war materials, soldiers, and various support structures that furthered the continuation of the war, such are reasons to avoid conflict
it was a cold, and inevitable result of their country's actions against its neighbors, and declarations of war
Grayson Reed
It's my hometown in Bosnia lmao. I live in the suburbs so I had nothing to contribute there.
Owen Taylor
Leo Scott
sadly, it always has to do with religion
Gavin Torres
Connor Flores
eh it could be worse i guess.
