Absolutely no steel or metal was used, this temple was built completely from Indian sandstone, Turkish limestone, and Italian marble. Every single block of stone was hand carved in India and shipped to Atlanta where the whole thing was assembled like a puzzle. This is definitely an incredible piece of architecture:
Wow... That temple is so incredibly beautiful. Now I have a reason/desire to visit the South just because of that...

Me? I'm from Pittsburgh. I'll post some pics later of my city (because most of my pictures are of residential areas).

You think every single person in the world agrees that NY wins everything. Well it doesn't. People have valid opinions. If someone said Phoenix on here, there is no problem with that. They apparently like low-density, new, Mediterranean style homes, not concrete jungles.
whatever, and you are really being a hypocrite by judge my opinion (if you didnt, then thats my fault for not putting smilies or "IMO") you dont need to be so rude. And no one is trying to push anything in your face



When its true


Here are some cool buildings coming to NYC

Some of those modern NYC buildings I like. Others just don't make any sense.
St. Louis Pictures
I did not take these. Some are from another forum, which I am not allowed to link to. But these are shots of different areas of St. Louis. Most of the shots are from this site: Madnessmatrix | Eric Bowers Photography
