Didn't think I'd get this many responses.... Makes me think I need to see more of this Green and pleasant land
I don't know where to call "home" any more. Current abode is temporary.
Nice pic of Stonehenge, I rode past there last week and every time I'm blown away. Then went across to Normanton Down with its huge number of tumuli. Love that landscape. 8)
The Leamington Penis Tree, which you see as you come off the M40 and head towards Leamington.

Not my photo, I bravely searched for "Leamington Penis Tree". Turns out I'm not the only person to have noted the resemblance...
From the south - Emley Moor Mast.
From the north - Almscliffe Crag
From the west - Scammonden dam
Stood at that bus stop hundreds of times Ernie....now in much greener Devon.

I was going to say the same thing! Have you joined the "save the cooling towers" group yet?? 😉
(My mum was telling my she remembers all the fuss that kicked up in the late 1970's when they released the plans for the site, now we've all become used to them, and i think i will miss them when they are gone....... Humans are funny like that aren't we)
For the last few years this has been my "nearly home" beacon:

I know we moan at living in the Uk sometimes, but wow, this thread just shows, we do really have some of the most amazing natural and manmade landscape! Que the Elgar and lets line up some Pomp & Circumstance 😉
This always makes me think I'm home.

That massive Welsh flag flying in front of the Celtic Manor you can see from the M4 heading West. I just know the sun will start shinig after I see that.

Some lovely landscapes images and obviously one of us doesn't take his other half away with him or perhaps a predetermined distance from home Mrs Wobbem is told "It's that point in the journey dear - show me your boobs..."
My 'landmark' is when I hear a Brummie accent. Some people hate it, but for me it says I am home again and is wonderful!
Home is where the heart is............ 😀

My Dad told me as a kid, they buried the dead for the Battle of Worcester their and when it rained, the water running off the hill turned red!
So now I have kids myself it only seems fair to pass on my Dad's knowledge 😉
You can see it going North on the M5, just off J7, always makes me feel I am home when I see it.

Far far away before landing ... my real home. Paradise lost, maggots infestation, annexed whatever you want to call it ...

Happy to be home.
As a truck driver from the Wiltshire/Somerset border the M4 J18 slip road or the Stones are my markers that after a week or so away I'm only an hour from home. Although on a Friday I could be staring at the Stones for over an hour whilst I wait for the Grockles to sort themselves out
Leamington spa penis tree...

Edit: posted this before looking through the thread and seeing that Mrs Toast had posted it earlier..
*waves at neighbour*
Yes, Leamington penis tree is a legend, but never actually taken a photo of it myself...
The Sikh temple can now be seen behind the penis tree on a bright day too.

View across the Brooks with the Downs behind for me. Gets a bit wet in the winter 🙂
