Still my favourite man-made sculpture. Simplicity really is the best when it comes to art that does not age. This still looks fresh... can you say the same about Mount Rushmore or the Statue of Liberty. (I'm not knocking them, just contrasting them.)
Technically this is a monument, and it is an engineering marvel. I saw the film detailing the construction as part of the admission to the ride up to the top. Old footage, of course, but fascinating information on how this was built to meet in the middle, much like the Chunnel was built from both France and England to meet.
