My second fave building in Quebec City was the Chateau Frontenac which is a Fairmont Hotel now. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v703/squeaktoysneezer/387-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v703/squeaktoysneezer/388-2.jpg The roof was once copper but now they are green because they have been oxidized. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v703/squeaktoysneezer/389-1.jpg Taken from the pier More later

That is awesome!!!

Here's some architecture from my hometown, Ghent (Belgium)

 

The Gravensteen Castle, built in 1180. Inside is a museum with various torture devices (and a guillotine) that were used in Ghent during the era:

Profile of work by Spanish architect Rafael Moneo. It's in Spanish, but still a great documentary to at least "view".
