I always find it interesting when travelling to see how our cities’ architecture have been shaped by European influence.
Residential flats, Barcelona - Spain
Old building, Joburg - South Africa
Big Ben, London - UK (photo Alan Hutchison)
City Hall, Cape Town - South Africa
Acropolis, Athens - Greece
Monte Casino, Joburg - South Africa
Ironically, I am struggling to “find” our style. I mean South African style. Our cities and towns are crowded with Tuscan Villa’s that don’t reflect our uniqueness at all. If you think you found a house or building that encompass our style, please take a picture and send it to me!

Great shots, you’ve really captured the essence of each city’s personality.
Thanks Savannah…greetings fellow wordpress blogger! Although I have been to all the cities, I cannot take credit for all of them. The Big Ben and City Hall pics are not mine. I couldn’t find the owner of the latter.
I’m so jealous of your traveling to all of those places! It’s great when you notice the little things that join all of the world together like architecture. I can’t wait to get back to CT!
