I really would like to post photos on the rest of Toledo, one of the most beautiful cities I've ever seen...but I would be taking too much space.
If you ever come to spain, pay a visit to this city. You'll never regret it :).

Hehe funked. I didn't realize you were from such a backwater hayseed hicktown.
Hey RRAM, we've got a turd of a Geary building down by the river here that I swear is the twin of your guggenheim. I'll pop down tomorrow and get a shot of it for ya.

"turd of a geary building"......
LOL
Heheh I also thought Guggenheim was ugly at first, but after you get used to it, it's pretty neat ;). Anyway the true beauty of it its inside the building. The inner structures of the museum are awesome, worth a visit by themselves :). Is something strange to say ,that the inner of a building is much more impressing than the outside...but is exacly what it happens here :D
IIRC Geary was going to make a twin (if slightly enlarged) of the Guggenheim museum at New York, but I'm not sure if the project will ever be done.

I went for a walk today, and this is what I came back with. The lighting wasn't as good as for the Bilbao shot, but what do you expect for ten minutes of work?
-
From another angle.
I swear it's the twin of your guggenheim. Some of the fancy materials are on the other side.
-
Hummmmm it has a similar style, but -even forgetting that Bilbao's museum is totally covered in titanium, I find the building on those pics is quite different from Bilbao's Guggenheim museum.

Okay, the other side is completely different, and yours looks like sandstone/sandstone brick (not titanium) and mine concrete, but the shots you put up of the entrance are actually pretty close. Well, it's clear that this dinky university doesn't have the kind of dough the Guggenheim folks do, but that's obvious. I'll see if I can get a picture of the entrance, which has the same lattice-window sides, the same projecting titanium-covered cube. It doesn't have the always-popular le Corbusier entrance though.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I prefer living where I do to living practically anywhere in Europe (well, from France on South). :)
I'm just saying that I don't like Geary much.
By the way, when was that museum built? The "Laser Building" (it is a laboratory, believe it or not) opened in '93 or '94, and you can already see the signs of oxidation and wear on the once shiny parts.

Hehehe don't worry, Bilbao is an interesting place to live in, and to pay a visit, but it isn't exactly what you would call a "Beautiful place". It has its beauty, but not much as, say, San Sebastian, Santander, or Toledo, just to put some examples :).
About Geary, well first time I looked at the Guggenheim I said "what a smelling piece of crap" (literally, but in spanish :D). Then after looking at it for some time one starts to see that it's not as ugly as it may seem at first glance (in fact now I kinda like it, heh :D). And the interior of the building is simply stunning, outstanding.
I won't post photos of the interior because they don't make justice (you can't perceive the depth sensation in a 2D photo :p) ; but I may say without any doubt that the beauty of this building is 95% inside and 5% outside.

Hummmmm can't recall exactly, but around 1998 IIRC.

Dead - I used to live in HK, think we used to have school trips to Lamma Island (or lantau Island .... it was quite a while ago )
I would like to make clear that Swoop's pic of the toilet was taken BEFORE I moved in. Here's a prettier one of Amsterdam.

Fair enough -- I got another shot this afternoon.

I live in a large village (6000 people?). This photo is of another village - Fingest, in Buckinghamshire. I like to walk here in the Chiltern Hills.
Monk - nice picture of the Schloss Neuschwanstein in Bavaria, Germany.
Funkedup - your pics must have been taken in April, as those hills are yellow and not green during all the other months.
Replicant - that brought back memories. I am from Leicester originally - and lived two streets away from Gatso79.
