Went there in the early 2000's and stayed in the towers at the end of the dock if I remember correctly.
Here goes one from a vacation 2 years ago.

Avalon, CA
Confident enough it is Avalon I will post a photo as I won't be at my computer a while.

You are correct.. Well done, that was quicker than i thought.
That's the Santa Barbara Mission! I was there back in January

This might be very very difficult unless someone else has been to this spot, so I'll drop hints as needed
I took this photo in April 2015, but that amphitheater is about 2000 years old.

Rome
Nope, though it was a Roman territory very shortly into the 1st century C.E.
Wild guess for Carthage... (Is that still a place?)
istanbul
There must be dozens, if not hundreds, of amphitheater ruins throughout the Mediterranean. I like Turkey better than N Africa for it, though. Looking forward to the next hint if it isn't...

Sorry guys, I blew it. Had a pic ready to go (not seattle) but had to scoot to catch a flight to Seattle for the weekend. Here's one I took yesterday:

No to all of the above but Turkey is this place's jealous ex lover.
This amphitheater is 10 miles from a medieval english castle, a 3000 year old Greek temple, an Ottoman fortress, and a modern Brit sunburn destination
That was a bunch of hints so I hope you can narrow it down from that haha
That isn't Seattle? Or are you proving the reason for your absence? For the moment, however, we are working on ruins within what was once part of the Roman Empire.
Can I book my vacation through you? You seem to do this well.
Haha I went to this place as an archaeology student and tourist which is why I learned the history so well
Gonna guess at somewhere in Cypress? Maybe the capital Nicosia?

Hrmm, Hadrian's Amphitheater?
I know the country but can't think of any good cities. Nicosia?
Nope
Just for clarification, the answer is the name of the town in the background. The amphitheatre was more of a clue than the actual skyline itself

Ding ding!
Very cool place with human history stretching back 9000 years. I highly recommend seeing it before it turns into more of a tourist trap.
I was lucky enough to observe Greek Orthodox Easter on the island.. They don't eff around with bon fires.. We're talking 80 foot flames and wood soaked in gas

The wikipedia page on Paphos really does sound awesome!
Here's another in the vein of "the landmarks identify the town"...
Goat rock on the Oregon coast?

My last one was a softball. This one is a little more obscure. Way out in BFE but kind of a big deal.

I have only been there once but almost anyone living in the LA area might have been there and almost anyone in Socal will recognize a picture of it. It took me a second because it was harder to recognize without the moorings filled.
Alright, I see Union Pacific. Which initially suggested Omaha, because I've been to their HQ. But Google suggests the factory is in North Platte, NE.
So I'm going with one of those, learning towards the latter.
You beat me to it. As soon as I saw it, I knew it was Morro Rock in Morro Bay.

bwarbiany your up.
My next clue was to be BF _E.
It's the Baily Yard, Golden Spike Museum. It is either the largest Train Yard or largest selection yard in the world. I was told at the entry to the museum Milt the Docent would tell me about the yard. Milt heard the elevator doors open and close and my footsteps. He just sat there staring out the window onto the yard. After a few minutes of silence he claimed, "One heck of a view."
I wish I loved my job so much i would volunteer after retiring for the opportunity to watch it happen.
Give me a few hours but I'll get something up.
Okay, here's one. City might be too easy, so try to identify the landmark too.

Forbidden city / imperial palace, beijing
Not to be confused with the summer palace, which is also very cool.

Incorrect on both city and landmark.
