Houston is correct. San Diego is further to the south. The significance of these two locations has particular interest for members of this forum. LA then. LA is close enough. Santa Fe Srings is the name of the place and it is right in the LA area. Anyway, I added an interesting extension on to Firefox and when I tried it with the Chaos Cascade forum, up popped a map with these 2 locations. Any guesses as to what their significance is?

Shazou is a neat extension for Firefox. It provides you with a Google map of the Domain owner and server location of any webpage or link you choose. This is both fun and nifty, as well as helpful as it helps to identify potential phishing sites. It is available hereFor the Chaos Cascade we have the map I already posted: Server: elliotkane.proboards27.comOrganization: Everyones Internet Country: United States City, State: Santa Fe Springs, CA Organization Name: Everyones Internet City, State: Houston , TX Postal Code: 77060 Country: US I left some of the info out of the above which Shazou provided such as IP address, etc. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the religious site in Asia which nobody has guessed yet, as another clue I will add that like the Sydney Opera House, it has been proposed to make it one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

Taj Mahal is not a religious site, ss. it's more a palace than anything else. Cleg, i'm wondering if it's Angkor Wat. then again it's been a long long time since i last see a pic of the place as i know (well, if i recall correctly, that is) it's the largest temple in the world, covering the whole hill.

Congrats, Janggut! You have the right answer: Angor Wat.

Rhodos prehaps? You seem to be in on The Seven Wonders, so I recon that is where those gigant statues used to be, and IIRC that was on Rhodos.

Looks like a marina, but where?

Ube, you might be confusing 2 different pics. Janggut already correctly guessed Angor Wat , which has been nominated to be one of the 7 wonders of the world. We are on a new pic now. You spotted the boats. Good show. It's a well known locale; that's all I'll say about it just now.

Rhodos was my guess for that pick yes (brcause of those two pikes forming some kind of gate for the harbour. The collossus was supposed to be placed on something like that). So, I guess I was wrong? Übereil

The Colossus is gone since several hundreds or even thousands of years. It can't be Rhodos, at least so I guess.
What it is, I have no idea.

Al, sometimes i think we must be brothers. Angkor Wat is also one of my dream destination since boyhood. edit: i mistaken Angkor Wat with another Buddhist monument which is an even bigger dream for me to visit, which in fact is the biggest Buddhist monument in the world. maybe Cleg wants to feature it later on here so i won't reveal the name & location.

Actually it reminds me somewhat of Prince Ranier's yatch club in Monaco...but then again, I'm not sure as it doesn't have much to do with sports..

That's exactly it, Monte Carlo Harbor in Monaco, where the Formula 1 race goes by for example.
