No matter where I go, I cannot escape Breezewood lol

I mean idk, lots of US cities do have some legitimately artful architecture even today. It's everywhere else that sucks shit. The suburbs, the giant parking lots, places like Dry Ridge Kentucky where it's just walmarts and chain restaurants, etc.

👍 Ha sido muy chulo ... lástima que a poniente no está el mar .. 🤷 La vista era hacia la sierra de Collserola Esa vista de Zaragoza con el reflejo sobre el río ...ufff... Es de las imágenes que más se están reproduciendo en redes, es espectacular Barcelona👇

If the US as a whole did Ringed City itd just look like those highway commercial sprawls we already have

Añoranza compuesta desde Los Ángeles, California donde vive Mar Giménez “Alguien me sabe explicar, si un río no tiene olas, cómo es que llega tan lejos el olor de Zaragoza ... Zaragoza no está lejos, porque va dentro de mí” (¡¡Salvadla del ICE!!) youtu.be/8UWkQSUMPOs?...

excuse you, Disneyland, FL? im kicking you out of the House of Mouse Covenant .

It had been foretold www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/...

It's a young country! We've got plenty of time to develop our sinister, gothic architecture.

America did at one point gloriously try to distill the various European/gothic traditions into a grandiose new world aesthetic with some interesting results, but sadly most of that effort was bulldozed to make way for America's newest and most important citizen... the car.

Giant walmart parking lots sure do make a cloud covered sky look extra beautiful but they don't really sell the ominous presence of a solar eclipse at all.

underrated comment

I should’ve checked the comments before I made my joke. Beat me to it

"US architecture is building prisons or things easily converted into prisons."

But Europe just doesn't have THE LOATHESOME DUNG-EATER like we do.

There's that town in NC with all the Art Deco so we could at least do Prey 2016

Witnessed it in person in Spain. I was absolutely shocked to find out that full eclipses really do look Like That. No words to describe that experience

it's great to see the eclipse with buildings though, puts things into scale more than "oh, cool ring of light"

We watched the total eclipse in 2024 up here and, even moreso than the sight was just.. vibes? It keeps getting darker and darker, then almost nighttime. Not quite, though. But more than that was the silence. There are animals chittering and squawking, then nothing. For about five minutes. Wild.

Admittedly, New England is cheating. It really do just be like those Stephen King novels. Decrepit farm houses and abandoned factories to the gills

It's true. Funnily enough, America's architecture, if you can really call it that, is perfect for one thing: Fallout. The aesthetic of the nuclear apocalypse. The end of the world. Nothing could be more sad, and more fitting at the same time.

De qué significas?

Somebody should try to line one up with a Mormon temple, that would go quite hard

The sun went behind a fucking hill where I was. Rip the opportunity to see an 85% eclipse.

Sad, but true
