Seven Wonders of the Modern World

I read this in Time. There is a online voting site to pick the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. There are 21 semifinalists you can pick from. So far, I've only seen 3 of them (Statue of Liberty, Eiffel Tower, Great Wall of China).

Here are my picks:


Alhambra - because of my fascination with Katherine of Aragon

Christ the Redeemer - symbol of faith

Great Wall of China - because Canadian David peed on it. Great memories.

Pyramids of Giza - because duh

Statue of Liberty - out of patriotism. Go USA!

Sydney Opera House - modernity and I find it amazing that they built it with a population of just 64 people! John, you did an excellent job. (inside joke)

Taj Mahal - because I just always thought it was beautiful

Vote for your favorites.
