"Landmark" FR-S Photos from Around the World

I happen to be a fan of those snapshots in various mags of someone with their magazine in an unusual place. I figure, now that they are hitting the road, lets show off our cars in places folks would consider landmarks.

Here are the (not really enforced) rules:

It should be a photo or your FR-S and a famous or infamous landmark of some sort. It can be a roadside landmark (like mine below), or a historical landmark, like in front of the Washington Monument. It can also be a geographical landmark or point of interest, like Cumberland Gap or the first FR-S straddling the Equator.

It should be a unique spot. Once someone claims it, its theirs, you can't reuse it.

Only exception to the reuse rule is when you can bring an additional car to the spot for photo. So, for example, you want to use my shot, you have to have 2 FR-Ss at the landmark.

I look forward to seeing everyone's photo and comments!

Please include the location in the subject, and then some details behind the location with the photo. People want to know!

BR-Z folks, feel free to add here or start your own thread.
