Dubliners call this Bertie's Erection

That chinese tower wins by a mile, but I love Emley Mast - 1084ft of massive concrete erection

[img] [/img]

Hah. Emley.

Phallic for me because of very specific experiences at the base. Thank you Sarah... 😯

Still makes me smile to myself every time I drive by.

I sometimes pass Emley Moor mast on my way to / from work. It's very impressive close up.

something a bit more modest, a mere 200yds from my house:

It's not big, and it's not clever.

This sizeable erection can be seen locally for miles around.

Can we have a tree?

The famous penis tree of Leamington spa!

perhaps not phallic in the strictest sense but it certainly looks a bit like [i]my[/i] nob 😳

wills memorial knob

[img] [/img]

a constant reminder of 3 years wasted

Too much time in the Drug Out Klunk?

Why stop at one tree when you can have.....

[img] [/img]

the Dug out, blimey that's a blast from the past 🙂

@Klunk - Wills at One ? That was where all the socialites met up in my day (81-84) Where you born yet 😉

Good one in Barcelona, Jean Nouvels tower...

[img] [/img]

What about a nice vagina stadium in Qatar by Zaha Hadid...

Where you born yet

just about 82,83,84.

This one is special.

But, can I include a trophy here?

This is *very* impressive

I'm squinting at that waiting for a cock to jump out at me (fnarrrr...) but I don't see it.

Yaaay, I'm glad that the famous penis tree of Leamington Spa got a mention - there's nothing like seeing its majesty emerging over the horizon as you arrive off the M40.

You can't talk about great architecture without including Le Corbusier's Ronchamp Chapel. Sorry not a great picture:

How about the 'Dream' sculpture by the M62/St. Helens

or 'the pen1s in the park' as my OH refers to it.
