I’m in awe of buildings. Their size. Their function. Their design. Their history.
The architectural design and messages conveyed leave a lasting impression. Looking back on photographs, I easily recall the location and the feeling I had near it.
Buildings communicate the way people live, work and move in an area. They represent both history and progress.
I marvel at the gifted, creative minds and hard-working tradespeople who design and build such pieces.
I’ve been told I’m a “cheap date.”
Drop me in a location and I’m impressed with buildings.
Trees impact me equally.
I’m okay with this. Perhaps, it’s my petite size. Or, insatiable curiosity.
Either way, I’m not alone. The emotional impact of architecture | TED Talks
Here are some of the most impressive buildings I’ve seen and visited. Some are not the most well-known buildings in their communities. They are, however, the ones that instantly grabbed my attention and captured my interest.
Links by building and location sorted by state/region/country are provided under each image.

All photography is mine.
