Me too. I knew of this other name, but had to look it up for exact spelling.
By the way, I may go there and re-shoot the bridge, as I had my polarizer filter on and it killed almost all reflections in the water. It did give me deeper blues, but no reflection in the water? C'mon!

It certainly is :-) But the "recognizable" part is the tower witht he clock, on a world-wide scale. Show 100 people alex's picture and ask them what they are seeing, and I bet 90% of those who have a clue, will say "Big Ben" rather than "Houses of Parliament" :-)

I agree! I was only being pedantic!

... and Big Ben is actually the bell itself, not the tower that encloses it.

Not the greatest of pix, but the top is the Alex Theater (Glendale's most famous landmark I guess). Bottom is Nestle's corporate office. Glendale's a small (yet, heavily populated) city, just North of Downtown LA. :)

Not exactly a landmark in the classic sense, more of a unique feature, I have used it for a couple challenges.

And the tower is called 'St. Stephen's Tower', whilst we're being pedantic. |
