The infamous portrait of the madonna and her child in Our Lady of Czestochowa in Poland- I expected a rather dinky-looking old picture with some scratches on it. But the entire church, the picture, its all rather overwhelming. I had never felt so much faith and belief in one place before.
I agree with the Ottawa Parliament Buildings. They are...magnificent, inside and out.
This isn't exactly famous, but every time my family drives down to Florida and passes through Kentucky, I am always amazed at the meters of rock you pass on the freeway. They tower high above you as you pass, and it just amazes me each time.
The Luray Caverns in West Virginia. Holy cow, beautiful and marvelous. I was so surprised at this underground wonder. I'd love to go back someday
Well that's all I can think of at this moment. Maybe my mind will remember some other surprising things I've seen.
