    It's the Temple of Zeus in Athens, Greece. As for why it's a famous place... it's in Olympus, that's a good enough reason. Oh, and the statue of Zeus it used to contain was one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

          Nope, although the body of water can be seen from Florida.

            Hmm I dunno if I should say you got this.. it's NOT in Athens. Not really Olympus, which is the mountain, but the town is Olympia.

            But yes, it's the Temple of Zeus.

                Well, that looks like it might be a pipe on top of the pier, so it could be an oil or gas terminal. Texas springs to mind, but it could equally be Louisiana, Mexico, Venezuela etc. Texas?

                  Nope, not Texas. I'll "narrow" it down to Mexico.

                    Oh well, Texas and Mexico are almost indistinguishable from one another They are both Hispanic, hot, wild and revolutionary Would it be this one at Progreso, Yucatan?

                        If the city seems reddish in colour, this is no accident. Name, please?

                                How about Kiev? In any case, was the "reddish" reference supposed to mean that it used to belong to the USSR?
