The National Monument, Edinburgh, March 2016
Back in 1822, Charles Cockerell and William Playfair, created Edinburgh’s National Monument up on Calton Hill. It was modeled on the Parthenon and made to commemorate Scots who had died in the Napoleonic Wars. Unfortunately, funds ran out in 1829 and the building was never completed.

It was a beautiful day so the colours are nice too. But I like the b&w for showing off the architecture.
