ABC Wednesday - Architecture

This year Architecture is close to my heart as my son is studying to become an architect.

But the particular type of architecture that I love is an arch. 

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines an arch as:
"a curved structural member spanning an opening and serving as a support 
(as for the wall or other weight above the opening)"

I'm not sure what it is about an arch that appeals, but I think arches look quite imposing and grand.

Here are some pictures I took way back in 1993 when I toured Europe. Loved these arches.
