Some people have told me that fiddling with the white balance settings helps, but I get frustrated with that.
When you download your pics, what software are you using? I shoot raw files, and download them on the software that came with the camera, Digital Photo professional. On a picture like you show there, what often comes out of the camera onto the screen doesn't look like the scene I shot, so I tweak it using the tool pallette (select picture, view: tool pallette, use the sliders either side of the graph box, then go to RGB adjustment option at the top of the toolbox and bump up the contrast a tiny bit). There are several other options, but I very rarely use them. The example you showed of the building would benefit greatly from tweaking the exposure. If you're a purist and don't like the idea of "tweaking", keep in mind that digital isn't quite the same as film, and often requires a little help post-process.
