I took a picture of this beauty, last month in Warsaw.




And this is a little oldie in the same city:




And I hate the recladding of this hotel in Warsaw.




But I must admit, I liked the city and most of the skyscrapers a lot!

The Hearst Building, New Downtown Transit Hub, and Time Warner Center are all great buildings. Especially the transit hub.

I think that list is crap.

Not a bad looking building but look at those giant sperm crawling up the side.
