Golden Gate Bridge - excellent scenery

Space Needle - serene skyline and backdrop
I would put Princeton and Columbia Universities up there with Harvard University.

Rather than the Hollywood sign, I would put the "stars" on Hollywood Blvd. as iconic of the Hollywood movie industry in L.A.

Is the Walt Disney Concert Hall truly iconic? There's no questioning that it's a fascinating designe conceived by one of the most notable architects of our time. I'm just not sure that the average person in, say, Tappahanock, VA would know what it is.
