One of the most remarkable buildings/beautiful spots of San Francisco is the city hall. I won't make you yawn with boring trivia, but here's a link to the
wikipedia post. Passed by the building one evening, and couldn't help stopping to take a picture.
Taken from my NikonD40 with a basic lens, the photo doesn't do justice to the absolute beauty:

Random Vittorio Emanuele Monument in Rome(aka Typewriter) is another magnificent public building I liked taking pictures of. Just posting a link to pix I took back in 2004, to put it in perspective.

Random All said and done, none of these seem to beat our own Vidhana Soudha or Mysore Palace for that matter. Hope to take some pictures of it, on my next Bangalore visit!
