Washington, Seattle, Toronto, Dublin - authorities just love to build a needle for their city ! The best thing about this one, built by an atheistic totalitarian regime in East Berlin is that the locals immediately christened it "The Pope´s Revenge" because sunlight on the globe forms the image of a cross, shining over the entire city and mocking the government...

Spoiler for pic too big:

Like Exo in NY, in London you can´t help but become blasé about the landmarks. These days I´m in a town with more modest aspirations and although I can´t compete with Paul Smeenus and the fabulous view from his balcony, Burning Down reminds us with her pic of an elevated road, that a landmark doesn´t have to be a tourist "must see".

Strictly speaking, a landmark is just a point of reference and in the town I´m in now we refer to places like The Fireman´s Traffic Lights and, rather baffling for newcomers, The Roundabout Where The Disco Used To Be . Also well known is The House Of The 500. This is a pretty extravagant house comissioned by a prostitute who was so sought after that she was able to charge 500 pesos for her services - a price so high that it has become immortalized while her actual name has been forgotten !

EDIT: At last some pics of Antarctica, Vanilla! Thank you. That Mount Erebus looks like you could stroll up there in one day, but according to the book I recently finished, it took poor old Shackleton seven days to reach the summit crater. Were you travelling around on snow-mobiles and sledges when you were there?

Reno itself is located on a river called the Truckee River which starts at one of the most beautiful Alpine lakes (Lake Tahoe) in the world and ends with one of the moist beautiful desert lakes (Pyramid Lake)

Lake Tahoe in the winter

Summer

Pyramid Lake
