Libera Dreams

This is something I've done in the past on my FB page that went over well...

I'll post a picture and a "clue" (sometimes useful, mostly worthless )--first person to guess what it is and where it's located, wins that round--and we'll keep score (somehow) and have a "winner" after a month or so...I'll get you a track or CD on iTunes, let's say

So, we'll start easy--

Around the World I:



Clue:
"I cross a river named for a legendary Hun, who drowned here while trying to invade lands north."

Golden Gate Bridge, San Fransico, California, United States of America.

AtW 2:

Hey, you said you'd give us at least one clue... I'd like to have it, even if it is worthless

Is this one just for me? I have to say it looks better now with the stonework cleaned up. The main window in the picture is known as the heart of Yorkshire (assuming I haven't got the wrong building ).

York Minster.

The glass in Great West Window (the one in the photo which has the heart shaped stonework) was painted in 1338.

Clue:
I am one of the oldest churches in the Americas, dedicated to both a great healer and a 'beautiful prairie'.

Hmmh tough one this. Not even the change to the clue (how do you confuse wood with prairie ) is helping me

Well, if "a wood" is meant similarly to "a forest", then I suppose they could be confused... If you tried hard

You see,I always took a prairie to be tree free, sort of open fields. I'm trying to remember the setting for Little House on the Prairie from sooooo long ago

So a prairie can be forest can it?

How old is this church - doesn't look that old to me
