Who can guess this location
The photo below is of a local landmark that always reminded me that the 750 mile return trip from my hometown to the small town where I was teaching in the mid-1980s was nearly over.
This place along with many other unique roadside attractions can be found at:
Roadside America - Guide to Uniquely Odd Tourist Attractions
I often check the above site before starting my travels to see if I will be passing near an unusual or out-of-the-way roadside attraction.

If you're ever in the vicinity, come and say hi, I'm a two-minute drive away. My nephew fell into that fountain two or three times when he was a tyke.

Try this one! To me it seemed tucked out of the way. But, you might all know it. Kimili will, he seems to be the authority on these things! Lol!
Hi Michael, my best wishes!
Marc.
BTW, my place of work is 5 minutes from Stonehenge. It's a very difficult subject to photograph well because the ground falls away in all directions. However, I managed to get into the site at sunset one night last May. The site is so precious I had to have a ground sheet under my step ladder. A dirty night ahead but it made for a dramatic picture!

Hi Happycampers,
I live in Romsey, which is 25miles SE of Stonehenge. You discover new things every day. I didn't know they made Argosys that big. It's either my IQ-Ignorance Quota or are they rare?
Here's another statue, it's quite close to the other...

Yakki Da to Sharon! Both my parents are from Abertillery. Pardon my spelling, south Wales is not a home for the native tongue - too many interlopers like my geordie grandfather on one side and my tin miner "grandcha" on the other! Wintering in Florida sounds good but the last time I was there (Jun'02) they had record rainfall:
On the one good day I took a Mustang down the Keys!
In the morning I travelled down to Islamorada, 35c in the shade. In the afternoon I travelled back to Ft Lauderdale. When I got back I found I had third-degree burns on my left ear - in the sun all day!* Lol!

The Sunshine Skyway.
Within a 20 min. drive of my house.
Located on I-275 crossing the channel entrance to Tampa Bay.
Fort Desoto the birthplace of the Tincan Tourists is viewable from the entire length of the bridge. My family used to camp there when I was a kid and the place has not changed. It is still one of the best state parks I know of with campsites right on the water and a beach that rates in the top five for the country.
I was also living here when the old bridge was rammed by a tanker and collapsed on a rainy morning. I think it happenned around 1980.
