Scotland probably has some of the most amazing castles made in the world. Next comes Romania and Scandinavia.

Oh I love that post-apocalyptical look of the castle, the ruins of it...Everytime I see ruins of buildings I get this attraction in me to it, emotional connection.
It's the outdoor swimming pool at Hearst Castle in California - built by William Randolph Hearst, media and movie magnate. I've been there. Impressive!
Here is a nice story showing the cutting edge science you can find in the the most everyday items. You have probably made lots of sand castles in your life, but have you ever wondered why it is so easy? It's not necessarily easy to make the fortification of your dreams, but it is very easy to make damp sand stick together, you don't have to mix sand with water in a specific recipe, it just seems to work. In fact if you mix between about 1% and 20% water by volume with your sand the strength of the mixture is almost constant. This is surprising because that is a huge change in the amount of water. You may not have asked this question but Mario Scheel in the Max Plank Institute in Gottigen, Germany did. Finding out the answer is quite difficult, because it is a three dimensional problem and sand is opaque so it is very hard to view what is going on. He and his colleagues managed to look inside a sand pile using X-ray microtomography. This is basically a miniature version of a CAT scanner you find in hospitals. It takes a series of X-ray images from different directions, and then uses a computer to put them together into a 3D model of what is going on Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! http://images.google.com/imgres?img...mages?q=sand+castles&um=1&hl=en&safe=off&sa=G
When I build sand-castles I use imagination as guidance, I never build something that I have seen somewhere, I always want to make it look bizarre and beautiful and new. So even though that sand castle is a marvel of engineering, it does not excite me as much as just a regular castle a kid builds themselves from imagination.
