Some nice ornate gothic cathedrals, MLM. Sadly, the Fisherman's Bastion is spoiled for me because it looks so like a Disneyland creation.

Architects and town planners sometimes focus to much on street grids and stuff like that, but none of them until recently expected to have their work viewed from drone angle, so these photos are really catching architecture off-guard, showing us what we were never expected to see:-

^ Nice!

Here's the cinema where I saw Kubrick's 2001 when it came out:-

It's now a Grade 1 Listed Building, which means it can't be messed about with, (although it has been converted to a Bingo Hall).

The population of Romania is slightly less than the pop of Greater London, both being round the 20 million mark. But if you're running the kind of repressive regime that Ceaușescu was operating, you need a pretty big office to operate from. Here's the totally OTT Government Palace in Bucharest:-

(i) unimpressive rear entrance showing the scale of the building: (check out the size of the cars):

(ii) main facade, like a Vegas hotel:

In comparison, the Mayor of London administrates from one small office block; (check out the size of the people ):-

Bottom Line: For admin, Bucharest wins on architecture but loses on governance.

^Damn, that's overkill. Half of those rooms are probably just filled with pool tables and/or spiderwebs.

^ HaHa! Apparently it has 1,100 rooms, so they could probably squeeze in a pool table somewhere. Other surprising stats:-

* After the Pentagon, it's the biggest admin building in the world.
* It has eight levels underground, incl nuclear bomb shelters, which makes it the heaviest building in the world.

Do you mean the London metropolitan area or another boundary?
