The British Library, Bloomsbury, London: the second-largest library on earth and one of seven National Depository Libraries in the United Kingdom...where Heaven and earth meet, as far as the history major is concerned

The Cathedral of Brasilia it is--compare with the bizarre-looking Roman Catholic cathedral in Liverpool...

Somewhere in Middlesex, that's all the answer I can provide.

Are we supposed to identify the hill?!?!

all right, all right: this is tricky--VERY tricky... two points to the person who guesses correctly.

Yes, the 'landmark' consists of the hills (and there are more hills); these are somewhere in Britain (but not Middlesex); they served as a warning system in ancient times and are still in use today, albeit in a very different role.

Now this is going to sound feeble, but I thought of the British Library and the pictures I saw were of a 19th Century building! Nothing like that!

When did this heap of crap come along!
