Wonderful Wonders

As a wish-I-had-been architect, I am astounded and delighted by these buildings: 150 Strange Buildings of the World.

My mother took an architecture class at Cal in the late 40s, and somehow the inspiration of her amateur interest blossomed via off the cuff remarks during drives in my childhood into a never-ending delight in how and why buildings are designed the way they are. I grew into the kind of person who doesn't really pursue his dreams, so I'm not an architect (or a jazz musician or retired baseball star for all that) and it's just as well with my last name.

I have one more to add to the above, if I ever stop for pictures next drive down 99; or perhaps several: unusual and interesting structures can be found everywhere. One day (maybe) I'll take a short road trip and photo me an essay.
