This is one of the Metropolitan libraries in Oklahoma City, and it was recently built right by my house. The building is made to look like there are oil rigs coming from it, and it represents Oklahoma's influence in the oil industry. The oil rigs are all private study rooms made for students to have a quiet environment where they can focus better. The building is made entirely of glass to enable natural light. The concept is different and definitely unique.

The Fred Jones Art Museum here in Norman is one of my favorite places to visit. It features many rooms inside the museum, with 2 floors. The buildings are square shaped with triangular roofs and are all connected by glass panels. The interior is very modern and ornate. Each room features different types of art and artifacts. It is unique because the front of one of the rooms features stained glass of all types of colors and it is beautiful.

The Empire State building is one of the most iconic buildings in America. It is known for its observation deck where visitors can gather and view the Manhattan area around them. The building is 103 story's high. It is designed in the Art Deco style and has a very modern concept. The building is a popular attraction for proposals and other various special occasions. When I was up in the observation deck, everything down belong was a blur because we were so high up. The building is 443 meters tall.

The Sagrada Familia is a church in Spain that is still in the midst of construction. It features many gothic elements and designs, and the beginning of the construction dates back to the late 1800's. The building was designed by architect Antoni Gaudi. The church is still being worked on and is projected to be complete by 2026. It features many spires and 3 facades. They are representative of Catholicism and have important symbolic meaning to the church.

Liberty Memorial-Kansas City
This memorial is a fabulous work of art.The tower and surrounding buildings are all breath taking. The design was chosen during a contest and was submitted by Harold Van Buren Magonigle. Sculpture Robert Aitken and architect firm Wright and Wright made it happen. It sits on top a hill with views of the grand station and down town KC. Beautiful, heartwarming and well deserved by all the lives given during WWI.

Manarola City- Italy
Okay. This is the one place in all these blogs I have not been but would love to go. This just looks so cool. Living on the edge(literally). This town was built in 1338 and is still standing even with the temperament of the sea. The way it is built to fit. Amazing.

This is my high school that I attended in Oklahoma City. Putnam City North has recently built a new gym, which is featured in this photo. When I attended the school, the building was old and needed renovations. The performing arts center was the only part of the building that was nice, but now the new gymnasium has improved also. The building is much taller than the rest of the school, and has a much better layout than the rest of the school. It has tall window panes in the front of the building, and makes the school look a lot classier.
