Architecture

When I was younger I wanted to be an architect (amongst other things).  I would sit for hours drawing up plans for my future house.  It would have two floors, a swimming pool, a balcony and a huge garden.  I haven't given up on one day living in a house like that although I doubt I will be the one designing it.  I still have a fascination for architecture though and on my travels I try to capture some of the worlds most spectacular structures.  Below are a few that I find awe-inspiring and breathtaking.
