It is the Milan cathedral.

For the tunnel/bridge, I think it is the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel.

This is the largest mosque in Central Asia-- The Bibi Khanum in Samarkand named after Tamerlane's Chinese wife.

The last one is an unfair question! It could be The Panam Bldg In N.Y. or the U.N. building also in N.Y. It could also be In KL or in Tokyo or any other major metropolis in the World!

Hi

only just seen this so hope its not too late...

263/7362 is Registan Square in Samarkand, Uzbekistan.

I think 237/7766 is Sansouci palace in Berlin(?), Germany.

Both are on my 'will visit one day' list.

remarkable: your reply crossed with mine. Your reply is better as more precise - i didn't know the name of the mosque. (or indeed if that bit was part of the mosque )

Thank you Richard.
You are probably right on 277/7766 . It is some palace in Berlin but I dont know the name.

Well... it isn't... I have until 23h59min (-3 GMT) to deliver the answers... Thanks to y'all!!!!!

And mally, that's really what I thought when I saw the last one.... It could be any great building

fetofs · 2005-08-20, 19:43

It has passed 15 minutes, so... I just want to say that it is not the Sansouci Palace itself, but the New Palace in the Sansouci Park... Anyway it was a great help!!!!

And it's Potsdam instead of Berlin, btw.

Only ~2 km from here
