This was St. Pat's Day, 1989:

 

[3 Dawg Night]

I think that's Washington, DC's flag flying from the lamppost, so that's my guess.

 

[D.B.Moody]

Washington D.C. it is. You're up @3 Dawg Night.

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Not really a skyline, but I think someone will recognize this one.

 

[duncan.brown]

Looks like Sliding Rock in North Carolina.

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Bing, @duncan.brown has it! It's a waterfall that cascades over a gently sloping rock, making a natural water slide. Super fun!

 

[duncan.brown]

How about this...

LIGO observatory Hanford?

 

[duncan.brown]

@Pkrd has it, this is x-arm of the Advanced LIGO gravitational-wave detector in Hanford, WA (well, the concrete cover around the beam tube, at least).

The 200 area of the Hanford nuclear reservation is on the horizon. Fun fact: the 200 area is one of the most radioactively contaminated places on Earth!

Never mind

Thanks for that one. I hadn't looked into the LIGO infrastructure much. Incredible machines.

Here's an easy one from 9 years ago.

Dresden?

 

[Pkrd]

Never been to Dresden, I did read Slaughterhouse 5 long before I should have though.

Right country.

It looks to me like Nuremberg. St. Lorenz church. Never been there, never seen it before. But the U, which stands for U-bahn (the underground), was the giveaway. Only 4 German cities have a U-bahn.

Nuremberg it is.

While we’re on the theme of places of worship, the beer produced nearby has faithful followers. I visited, but the photo isn’t mine (mine had an all-too-obvious giveaway)

 

[D.B.Moody]

Great Synagog, Pilsen, Czech Republic

 

[dirkomatic]

@D.B.Moody just beat me to the answer.

 

[Andres Falconer]

Easy, right, @D.B.Moody? What now?

 

[D.B.Moody]

I'm sticking with the theme. This is from 1990:

 

[dirkomatic]

St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna, Austria

 

[D.B.Moody]

That was quick, even for you. You're up @dirkomatic.

 

[dirkomatic]

There don't seem to be many churches with a green, black and white patterned roof...

Here's my next. It's a little blurry...

 

[D.B.Moody]

State Capital, Charleston, West Virginia

 

[dirkomatic]

Didn't think it would take long... Taken this past Friday as we were traveling by.

Go ahead, @D.B.Moody

From 1989, here's another golden dome:
