The new Seven Wonders of the World: What's your choice?

Panama or Suez Canals anyone?

 

Fleetwood Mac's song Seven Wonders isn't one of the choices

 

Something can be an impressive engineering feat without being wonderous, though.
Just like something could be a beautiful work of art without being wonderous.
When I think of the seven wonders of the world, I think of things (reportedly, since I've never seen anything but an artist's rendering of any of them other than the pyramids at Giza) that incorporate both.
Further, they were things that made people then, and in some cases now, scratch their heads and say 'How'd they do that?'

 

No love for the CN Tower in Toronto?

 

Mr J,

No. By a vote of the majority of Torontonians (who, like me, have never stepped in or up the world's tallest free-standing tourist trap).

YHS, etc

 

5 Christ the Redeemer, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

9 Great Wall, China

13 Machu Picchu, Peru

14 Neuschwanstein Castle, Fussen, Germany

16 Pyramids of Giza, Egypt

20 Taj Mahal, Agra, India



No Mont St. Michel, or Golden Gate Bridge?

Wow.

 

Mr Columbo,

Mont St Michel for sure.

It would be the only wonder that comes with an Irish pub.

Or does the Great Wall have one?

YHS, etc

 

I like versatile wonders.

 

0. THE WONDER STUFF!!!!!

 

If Antarctica, I recommend the Holiday Inn at Amundsen-Scott Station.

 

Why the Golden Gate? Because it's in California and touristy?
There are other bridges that are far longer in the country and in the world and others were far more challenging.
Not picking on you, Pube, but I have just never understood the woody that people get for that bridge.

 

Double miles?
