Antiques...
My guess is the Acropolis in Athens for the first. The second one is the Collisseum (Circus Maximus) in Rome, I'd say.

*shakes head unbelieving* - the characteristic form would show from above, I believe.
That one beats me.

Ube is right.

I had thought *exactly* the same as Übereil and Glance. Though I still believe it might be a bay in Sidney or so.

Alrik - Übe and I have not thought the same thing at all, so how come? I'm really surprised - the characteristc form so well known really looks very different from above. Congrats Übe! Shame I don't have a place to send the pictures to, I'd love to set some challenges - I happen to have Google Earth here, I just found out.

As I said, I guessed because of the setting . My guess allso contained that it MIGHT look different from above. Übereil

Glance, all you have to do is go to photobucket.com and set up a free account.

I would guess, the hanging gardens of Babylon? It is kinda dark there....

The hanging garden of babylon is destroyed since centuries Kylia . Versaille prehaps? Or Shönbrunn (not likely...)? (Even more of longshots than the operahouse this ;D.) Übereil

It is a religious site.
No correct guesses thus far.

Here is one more. This is going to be juicy fun. After you figure this one out, I'll explain how I obtained it, and how you can get the free nifty application I used. On this picture you will see 2 red icons marking 2 different locations on the map. Determining the cities thay represent won't be hard. What is the special significance of the 2 locations? I will say as a hint that the answer is a bit geeky.

It is a religious site. No correct guesses thus far. Looks like something out of Central America to do with the Aztecs also next two is Sandiego and Huston, but don't have geek knowledge as to why they are related.

It is in Asia. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Houston is correct. San Diego is further to the south. The significance of these two locations has particular interest for members of this forum.
