Hope you're enjoying the holidays.
My sister sent me these. I thought it might be fun to try to guess where they're located.
Mouseover for the answer.



The Capital, Washington D.C., USA Puerta del Sol, Madrid, Spain

Murano Island, Venice, Italy (known for its glasswork) Trafalgar Square, London, England
a tiny chapel in Germany's Karwendel mountains Old Town Square, Prague, Czech Republic
Frankfurt, Germany Grand Prince Hotel Akasaka, Tokyo, Japan
St. Peter's Square, Vatican, Rome, Italy Praça do Comércio in Lisbon, Portugal
Monte Ingino, Gubbio, Italy (the world's largest Christmas Tree) Time Square, New York, NY, USA
Galeries Lafayette, Paris, France Moscow, Russia

Arlington Cemetary, Washington D.C., USAThese wreaths -- some 5,000 -- are donated by the Worcester Wreath Co. of Harrington,Maine. The owner, Merrill Worcester, not only provides the wreaths, but covers the trucking expense as well. He's done this since 1992. A wonderful guy. Also, most years, groups of Maine school kids combine an educational trip to DC with this event to help out. Making this even more remarkable is the fact that Harrington is in one the poorest parts of the state.

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Washington, D.C. HERE RESTS IN HONORED GLORY
AN AMERICAN SOLDIER
KNOWN BUT TO GOD



How many did you guess?

My mouse over didn't work, but that didn't make a difference as it was fun just looking at all the pretty trees!

I got about three of them right but I got totally mixed up between the Vatican and DC.

The mountain one is so cool!

Gorgeous, Ali! My mouseover didn't work either, but I right-clicked on the pictures individually and read the "properties" well it listed the alternate text. :) So I could see it. I'm amazed at all the photos you found! LOVE IT! Thanks for sharing, Ali!
