Actually it kinda looks like Old Trafford with one raised section and all... Doesn't look like Anfield but I could be wrong, of course

As Anfield is in liverpool and that's London, I'd bet you aren't wrong, Peter! And you call yourself a Liverpool fan...

Yeah, it MIGHT be Old Trafford. The reason I didn't though so is because the main section doesn't have any cornerstans, but after looking at pictures on Google, I noticed that those corners are pretty small...
Übereil
Edit: I allso spotted some pictures on Old Trafford cricket ground, and that one looks suspiciouslly much like that thing a bit to the south of the main arena...

Nowhere, you're right Pete.
Like Elliot I had the first impression of the docklands, but the river doesn't quite match it seems to me.
But hey, I'm the bloody foreigner there!

Entertaining discussion. Old Trafford is the correct answer. BTW, why is it "Old" Trafford and "Old" Wembly? Is "Old" a term of endearment or what?

In the case of Wembley, they're building a New Wembley. In the case of Old Trafford, it's placed in the borough Trafford, and I suspect the 'old' was added just because they couldn't call it just Trafford.

Scary... LOOKS like London... I could have sworn that was the curve of the Thames... Ah, well As to why it's called Old Trafford, well, this is its postal address: Sir Matt Busby Way Old Trafford Manchester M16 0RA So 'Old Trafford' is simply the area of Manchester it's in.

Machu Pichu?

This next one is a little different. Name the city marked by the flag in the upper right hand corner of the pic, the country it is in, and who lives there. And for the 2nd one of the day...

That map is mean, you don't see any landmarks at all... As for the mountain/volcano my guess is Fiji backed up by Kilimanjaro . Übereil

Here is a hint. The nation is mentioned in passing elsewhere in this forum. As for the volcano, it is active, and erupted 3 times in the 20th century. It is also not in Asia nor Africa.
