I thought you lived in an alley, Venom!
I'd post a faraway pic of my new house because I love the lakes around where I live, but Googlemap's not clear enough in my area for it to be worth it.
As for that second pic...... no idea.

Would you believe I didn't recognize those glaring three pyramids in the first picture and I immedately recognized Stonehenge in the second one?

sure - me seeing only two pyramids at first glance got me confused (until I found the third) - and I endorse your bet for Stonehenge

Would you believe I didn't recognize those glaring three pyramids in the first picture and I immedately recognized Stonehenge in the second one? Stonehenge? Yup! Stonehenge. Listen. I have been enjoying finding and posting these, and I'll post some more in several hours. But don't let that stop anyone else from jumping in and posting a pic. And, many thanks to PeterH for starting this thread, giving me the idea, and not complaining when I kind of, sort of, hijacked it.

Ooooh, this is cool. Great idea! First one, the Kremlin/Red Square... Second one, no idea. The first is indeed the Kremlin/Red Square. The second is a locale well known and beloved to some in this forum and in all liklihood unknown to others. A hint: it is in the UK.

Old Wembley?

I never heard of Canary Wharf-- I never heard of Old Wembley either. In fact I had to look up the name of this one in order to find it. Fans will know the name well though.

Yes, obviously - that's why I thought of Wembley (the place and cause of the heredetary animosity of German and English football (soccer) fans since the '66 World Cup finals - for you Americans)
Now, you living in the UK, what other 'stadium' has such mythical reputation within Great Britain?
Without considering the picture, I can only think of Wimbledon's Center Court...
Maybe it's 'stadium', but not famous for any sports events?
