That is pretty wild. The first one I recognized, I walked to the top of it, well, up to the crown viewing room, back in August '01, three weeks before 9/11. Lucky me, it was closed for quite a few years after 9/11.

What is the second one, the Sydney opera house?

The next one, maybe the Lincoln Memorial right after being built?

And the last one might be WA, DC.

Very cool pics. At first glance I thought the last one was DC until I noticed the Eiffel Tower...

This one is pretty wild. Not my cup of tea, but I can understand why people could really get into the vibe. That many people with their minds focused on the same thing would be an interesting experience, perhaps.

Yes, I did some searching on Google Earth, I found it wasn't DC. I thought maybe that was the Lincoln Memorial and the pond in front of it by the river, but you are of course correct.

Yes, the 3rd one is the Lincoln memorial before the reflecting pool was built.
