Wuppertal, Germany

As the home of Bayer its the home of many drugs, but I suppose the one you are after is the commercialisation of acetylsalicylic acid, which as you all know is Asprin...

That's because I found it unfair to win 5 minutes after the pic was posted ;)

Well that was just a little too easy.
So let's see how we get on with this one.

Sadly I know this one... It is the Rose window that formerly graced the Christchurch Cathedral in Christchurch, New Zealand. It collapsed and was destroyed as a result of the earthquakes that struck South Island on February 22nd and June 13th of this year...

Take a bow - we are in a period of very rapid identifications. I thought that by going antipodean it would slow the deluge down by a few hours.

Nope, though it does look like the Mormon Tabernacle, doesn't it?

Nope, not that one. It is a named instrument though, not just known by the building in which it resides...

You got it Ian! This is indeed the Wanamaker Organ, the largest playable pipe organ in the world. It has the distinction of also being located not in a church, but in the central courtyard of Macy's in Philadelphia...

Take it away sir!

PM forthcoming...

Thank you, you can see that some people do good things with their money.
This one will end up to be very easy. Yes, that is snow on the ground.
