Heres one I found looking for Jack66's

 

I beg my apologies. :yield:

 

I've been there - Pioneer park, Dallas, Texas

No apologies necessary!

 

Wow, that was fast! I thought they were in Fort Worth? I would have gone to see them when I went to see the Mustangs of Colinas if I knew they were so close together -- I made a special trip to see the Mustangs after hearing about them for many years while living in different states. Someone gave me a picture that sat on my desk at work and anyone that had heard of them would tell me how beautiful the statues were. The interesting thing about the Mustangs is they are prettier in pictures than in person! The reason is water fountains placed where the horses hooves strike the water. In pictures it looks like these metal equines are running through the water and the water is flying up as if they were actually alive and running through the water. Probably not the same effect with the cattle.

 

This is a nasty one:

Hint: the worlds eyes were here 2 years ago.

 

Site of the 2006 winter olympics in Turin, Italy.

A couple "Firsts" lived here. BTW, I didn't think that aircraft would be in satellite pictures because of the big-sky-little-bullet theory.

 

I need a hint here....

 

Hint: the man that lived here was a soldier and a statesman.

 

Mt. Vernon, VA. My wife grew up near here.

This is sort of like a Prius...I think...

 

Definately a windfarm. Now to discover where....

 

It's very hot there and the rich and famous vacation nearby.

 

I haven't driven past Palm Springs since 1997 but I remember those wind turbines in San Gorginio Pass. Awesome to watch.

Please don't think this was an easy one -- Naptownprius picked the only wind farm I drove past in the last 20 years...

I think this one is easy but the one my wife liked is too grainy.

Hint: it is an island.

 

Iwo Jima Island.

It's actually a pretty small island.

 

Now...where is this:

 

I know where it is but I'll let someone else get this one since I've gotten lucky for quite a few lately.
