I DEF have to read this thread - no time now...........
if you're talking natural Monuments..
I've been to Monument Valley in north Arizona
i assume you're talking human created............
well..... i live in nyc so "The
Twins" {Towers} really did become monumental to me b/c as an artist and nature lover thier plain facade but at such heights really reflected all manner of sky/cloud & sunlight colors.............
they really could look amazing wonderous!!!
and Lady Liberty is quite the gal!
Love the The Arch in St Loius! that ALSO does an beautiful sky/light/cloud reflection thing!
I really wanted to visit the Aricebo Radio Telescope {featured in the moive "Contact"} when i got a chance to visit Puerto Rico............
but i don't do winding moutain roads well,even in -like New England (USA). So i had to give THAT one up!
while it dosen't qualify b/c it's a whole slew of biuldings/monuments ~~
the National Mall in Washington DCV is a very moving place. Luckily I've strolled it a number of times.
the monuments around the world I'd love to see the most......
OK, not hard........
1- The Pyramids
2- The Eiffel Tower
3- The Blue Mosque {Istambu, Turkey}
4- and perhaps The Tal Mahal
looking foward to reading your lists soon
