"Visually evocative of a toddler having a go with your computer, Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch is the longest town name in Europe. Contained within it is the village coordinates, delivered so lyrically as to be entirely useless, navigationally speaking."

"This charming collection of dials and measuring mechanisms once controlled the most powerful places in London. Their lighting that is.

"El Gouna is a modern resort town on the Red Sea coast of Egypt.

The town’s structures are reminiscent of the region’s history, with warm earthy tones that complement the desert landscape."
