Here's a side view of it.

It's in the US. I believe the current impeachment candidate had one of his rallies there.

OK, this has really stalled. If I say I took that picture on Thursday, that might narrow it down even more.

Phew, South Hall Dome in San Jose, that was rather an epic challenge.

OM is correct. Your show.

As for rain, that's usually started by December. Our pool now has about three inches of extra water due to the rain in the past week or so. We're supposed to get a few days of dry now, but it's going to return for next weekend.

It is a floodlit sports stadium!

Not Wembley.

Inside the Arctic Circle, was the location of the first cinema in the country and has links with Gary Powers.
The mighty hunter used to refuel there.

Certainly appears to be a Norwegian design control tower. Similar ones in Tromso and Trondheim

Could it be Bodo? GP was supposed to land there at the end of his mission.

I knew that there would be someone on here that had been to Bodo. During the 1972 cod war the Nimrods used to refuel there instead of Keflovik I think.

I didn't recognise Bodo. Only went there once - it was dark and snowing.
It's always my fault - SWMBO
