Europe has some incredible architechture. Come to think of it we have some beautiful architechture here in the States but unfortunately we all too often let it fall to ruin or we wreck it and replace it with crap. The Europeans seem to take better pride in preserving their finer structures.

Case and point. There is an old railroad power station along the Hudson that had some beautiful archiitechtural features. It stands in ruin, strewn with garbage, rusted equipment and graffiti. It may not even stand at all anymore, not sure if they finally demo'ed it for condos on the river yet or not. Yet in Europe they have a similar power station in a very similar design. But instead of letting it get wrecked like we do here they fixed it up and they use it for some other purpose today.

I was thinking great arches. They'll certainly need them walking up and down steps like that all day.

I see a woman being searched on the stairs by a French Police Nationale.

Wonder if he randomly gropes men as well?

Wonder if he randomly gropes men as well?Yes but he wears a glove with the men.

You people have a way of cheapening anything.

@ Johnize. The Europeans have taste and appreciation for beauty, be it architecture or the human body. In this country high end aesthetics would be a big mac and fries, or a Red Lobster restaurant.

The place needs some furniture.

Could be lovers and what you're seeing is PDA.


[PDA to those who only know that as "Personal Digital Assistant", the real meaning is "Public Display of Affection."]

Right! Some soda pop, candy, and potato chip vending machines lining all sides.

Put in a slurpee machine and I'd go there. :lol:

Who stole the books from that library?

[KG4CGC]

OK sorry, Bill. I thought it looked like French popo searching a person randomly.

[NQ6U]

It needs a Starbucks.

[WV6Z]

Bill, why do you hate Dead Lobster and baby Jesus so much?

[ki4itv]

Are you fishing for something preachy?

This was Battersea Power Station, I believe you have some interesting re-cycled buildings too.

Looks like somebody turned a Federal style sideboard upside down, Hugh. :-D

Looks to me like someone has refurbished a Pink Floyd album cover.
