Probably going for the Motherland Calls, though I might go old-school and vote for the Colossus.

I do quite like the Angel of the North, but it doesn't stack up to the competition.

this is supposedly the statue used in Italy, now in a Milan theme park with its head replaced by Wolverine

"The Tower of the Sun (太陽の塔 Taiyō no Tō?) is a building created by Japanese artist Tarō Okamoto. It was known as the symbol of Expo '70 and currently is preserved and located in the Expo Commemoration Park in Suita, Osaka, Japan. The tower has three faces on its front and back."

Honestly think that baby buddha thing is the scariest so far.

Not that it's worth a whole thread, but if there were one of the most terrifying gigantic buildings, the Abraj Al-bait clock tower would be on my list.

I like that they have a building in Atlanta, Georgia in there, I guess thinking it's the country of Georgia.

two years pass...

i posted upthread about four years ago, revisiting today... as yesterday, i took a trip to the Angel of the North. my lifelong megalophobia has certainly waned - i can deal with skyscrapers and all that - but i've always had the biggest dread around this one. you see it along the motorway as you're heading up to it; it's looming and dark, and seems so out of place - that's the real thing about this phobia for me: it's a psychogeographical thing - structure which doesn't seem to belong that just throws off the otherwise natural surroundings...

at any rate, i arrived there with a big sinking feeling, shutting my eyes as i approached... but to my surprise, it's actually... not so big, after all? i felt something as i stood under its loom, but it wasn't fear. freaky, for sure, but i suppose i felt more intrigued. faceless, almost light in nature despite its weathered finish and incredible weight. it's a breathtaking work of art, really.

i had a much, much bigger fright when visiting liverpool for the first time a couple of years ago: i was walking through the city centre with a friend, and looked up to realize i was at the base of st john's beacon...! my heart immediately sank to my bollocks and i hit the deck crouching! the height of that thing is much more intense... i spent the rest of the afternoon gazing at it from different angles around the city in awe.

this is the exact spot.

the eerie nature comes across much more in older photos, though...

I know what you mean! I think!

Our tallest building, well, it's not really that tall, 45 stories or so. But there's this one hill nearby where as you climb up, the building slowly levitates into view, much like the moon does when it "rises."

Kinda weirds me out!
