Engineering Wonders

[Hellfire]

Has anyone done a lot of traveling? I am curious if anyone has seen things around the world that have fascinated them enough to make them want to return? I mean this from an Engineering stand-point. What structures have you all seen that have astounded you? I was curious because I ran across this article today (posted below) and it made me wonder if there are others out there. I would love to go see some of these. What do you guys think? Have you guys seen similar things?

Let me know what you guys think of these.

Hope you all enjoy

I haven't done a lot of traveling, but when I visited Prague this caught my eye:

(it has some engineering stand-point, I guess)

And since we are at Prague, this is a fine example of modern Architecture/Civil engineering (to my unprofessional eye, at least):

Those are cool. Adding Prague to my list of places to see

Go there while you're still young (and single). Prague is awesome

I'm not sure if something like this counts too, but I think the internet is one of the greatest engineering wonders. Nearly everybody on this planet - and of course the ISS - is using it every day. I've always wondered how it worked and if someone on this planet really knows each of its details.

Another thing I really admire is Watson of IBM.
