Architecture

Not so long ago, I made a most enjoyable journey to Rochester Castle:

It is, indeed, a breathtaking sight. It is hard to believe that it has stood in its current location for hundreds of years and, though now nothing more than a ruin, its walls have nontheless withstood all attempts by both man and Mother Nature to send them tumbling to the ground. "If they could build such awe-inspiring constructions all those years ago, what marvels must they be capable of building today, fully equipped with the trappings of contemporary training and technology?" I hear you ask. The newspaper cuttings below say it all. To avoid my protests against the 20th century becoming repatative, I will make no further comment on the incompetenticies of the modern age:
