Here’s the pictureI mean (entirely safe for work). How many can you identify?
At first glance I could name eight and recognise nine.
Sydney Opera house.
St Paul’s Cathederal.
Eiffel Tower.
Kaula Lumpur Tower (not sure if that’s the name) (Lobsang you idiot: It’s the Petronas Tower. That should have been easy)
Statue of Liberty.
Tower Bridge.
Colluseum.
Freedom Tower (not built yet).
The one I can’t name is the one that looks a bit like the space needle with a ball on top.
I only got seven…I feel dumb…
Eiffel Tower
CN Tower
Collesium
Statue Of Liberty
Opera House
Tower Bridge
Giant Atom (in Belgium)
I am sure there are others on there that I know, but I just can’t see. There’s also things I think I know, but aren’t sure
(This is now my wallpaper…cool find Sklad!!!)
Beware of the website that comes from, for it is full of time-wasting distractions.
The ones I could name:
Eiffel Tower
Statue of Liberty
Giant Atom
Coliseum
Tower Bridge
Petronas Towers
Sydney Opera House
CN Tower
Okay, breaking the horizon from left to right are the Bank of China building in Hong Kong, the CN Tower, the Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel Tower, a TV tower that I want to say is the Oriental Pearl Television Tower in Shanghai, but it isn’t (possibly it’s in Dubai?), plus the Petronas Towers.
There’s the Atomium, as others have mentioned. I think the large square building to the upper left of the Atomium is the royal palace in Stockholm. Also: the Coliseum, the Sydney Opera House, Tower Bridge.
By-passing my urge to peek at everyone else’s answers, I got this:
1.Sydney Opera House
2.Ivory Pearl Tower, Shanghai.
3. Damn there’s another thing there from Shanghai but I don’t know it’s name
4.The Roman Coliseum
5.Tower Bridge
6.Notre Dame
7.Eiffel Tower
8.Statue of Liberty
9.Sears Tower, Canada
10.A very tiny Whitehouse (?)
11.Versailles
12.Watergate Hotel (?)
13.The Dubai twin tower thingummy…
I stayed at this hotel…
What is that bizarre cube thing with the balls on each corner?
It’s called the Atomium - it’s in Belgium
I’ve been in most of them.
Actually, most of the picture seems to be of Stockholm, with some international landmarks pasted on top of it, so if there are many buildings you don’t recognise that’s probably why.
Here is a small picture of stockholm where you can see the royal castle, the parliament buildeing(riksdagen) and the house on the little island on the bridge (strömsholm):

the island to the right seems to be riddarholmen in stockholm, with the Sidney opera house on top.
Another stockholm picture, covering the right part of the CGI picture.
The “space needle” with the ball looks the TV-tower (Fernsehturm) in east Berlin.
Where’s Notre Dame?
(And no one better say “Paris” or “South Bend”)
“Dammit! I requested a view of the ocean.”
Yes
Let’s see :
Berlin tower
Eiffel tower
Liberty statue
Toronto tower
???I’m familiar with the shape of the tower to the left, but can’t identify it
Colosseum
Sydney opera house
Atomium in Brussels
The rest I’m unable to identify.
ETA : And I didn’t notice the right part of the picture, with tower bridge and an unidentified tower.
It looks quite nice.
The tower with the ball is the Fernsehturm. I had to check the spelling myself.
Oh, BTW, it’s the CN Tower (in Toronto), not the Sears Tower, which is in Chicago and a lot uglier than the CN Tower.
