2014 Holiday: Amazing Architecture

America is a relatively new country and we don’t have centuries old buildings, especially not here in Alaska where most building were constructed in the 1970s and 1980s. I really enjoyed the variety of architecture we saw on our trip. Here are some of my favorites.

This cathedral in Cologne took over 600 years to complete. I appreciate the talent that went into the ornate details, but I kept wondering what else could have been created instead of adding more to this building.
