Still More Seven Wonders

The world offers more than seven times seven wonders to visit

If you've vowed to see the components of various seven wonders of the world lists as Wikipedia has with a plan to see them all, you've got quite a challenge. Consider: the seven wonders of the world, the seven natural wonders of the world, the seven wonders of the medieval world, the new seven wonders of the world, USA Today's version of the new seven wonders, the seven wonders of the industrial world, the seven wonders of the underwater world and both man-made and seven natural travel wonders, you'll never be able to see them all. Those alone are nine different versions of not-to-be-missed seven wonders.

Conde Nast Traveler's current issue presents another list of new wonders, thanks to 15 pages of artsy photos of the publication's choice seven architectural wonders. Some are interesting and perhaps even wonderful, IMHO, while others look downright ugly or at least misplaced. The editors call the article, beauitfully photographed by Raymond Meier, "The New Seven Wonders." Where have we heard that before?

In any case, pick up a copy for a full description, but here at least is the magazine's list:
  • Cumulus Building, Danfoss Universe, Nordborg, Denmark
  • Burj Dubai, Dubai
  • Wembley Stadium, London
  • New Museum, New York
  • Kogod Courtyard, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC
  • Red Ribbon, Tanghe River Park, Qinhuangdao, China
  • Michael Lee Chin Crystal, Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto
