#30 is not the usual like of that building. The house on the top should be part of an exhibition. It’s the Museum of contemporary art in Viena.

Your article looks very similar to our post series at villageofjoy.com – and I thought steeling articles is against google adsense terms and conditions… Please remove it, or leave only ~20 buildings with a LINK to our website in a visible place. Otherwise we might report to google adsense, and see what do they think.
