Getting close. I have been to Montreal and the city in the picture. Just based on my own experience I would say that Montreal doesn't have quite as much charm.

Well - 'the other hemisphere' would mean Southern versus Northern.
So Australia, NewZealand, Singapore - hey, didn't Jang say it looked familiar to him?

that building on the lower right seems awfully familiar .... It's likely from me; I ever sent you the quite exact same pic. And the building you refer to is the Parliament. The other castle-like building is the Chateau Frontenac, icon of Quebec city; actually a prestigious hotel.

We also have an eastern and western division. true - but we were talking Europe/America, which I would both put in the 'western' hemisphere.
This looks awfully similar to Versailles - palace and park.

I was sure it's Versailles too; checking on Google Maps on the satellite picture shows the same as well... If it's not that, then a copy of Versailles in Asia? ;D

I hope I didn't mess this up. I do not have a computer capable of running Google Earth atm (Just got a replacement motherboard from ASUS and so with luck my machine will be running again soon.) So, I took this photo from another thread wherein the poster identified this photo as being the forbidden city in Beijing. You say it is actually Versailles? You must be right.

Oops, I meant to come back yesterday but forgot after, sorry... Anyway, it's cool. This one... Some place in Petra, the entrance perhaps?

Just like candy bars, all red rock does not come from Mars. I had never heard of Petra. Thanks for enlightening me about its existence. No. It is not Petra, nor anywhere in the Middle east.

Somewhere in Arizona or New Mexico or thereabouts there is a national Park - Monument Valley I believe - and there are natural stone arches. Now I'm sure some are named, but I can't remember - but that is what it looks like.
