I knew I've been there!
I'm going with the flowing liquid theme, but a little different. LOL

British - apparently some US company stole my name
General vibe is upmarket British gastropub, probably Home Counties. Red brick suggests maybe the Oxford side of London? Building feels a bit of a hodge-podge, general vibe is late 19th or early 20th century - sash windows kind of died out after WWI. There's too much of it above ground level, the shape is all wrong for a straight pub so has rooms above?
@Northern_Brewer you are smoking hot on this so far. I don't know where the Oxford side of London is, but you are really close I'm sure.

Well, it's been two days since @Northern_Brewer gave us all that's needed for a Google search. Since no one else took the hint. I will:
The Duke of York, London.
The Duke of York, London.
@D.B.Moody that was fairly easy I guess. You are up.

Only because @Northern_Brewer told us what to look for. The Google I answered with was not what I did two days ago. I first Googled "London pub beer garden" and that actually got me to the picture you posted. When I clicked on that image, It headed a list of the 15 best pubs with beer gardens in London, so I knew the answer was the Duke of York. I figured someone would answer, but no one had by this afternoon so just for fun I Googled just what was suggested: "London gastro pub", though I didn't mean to make gastropub two words. That did not verify what the beer garden looks like, but I just had to answer with it.
This is from 1991.
Plymouth (Notch), Vermont. Birthplace of Calvin Coolidge.

The image actually has a sign that says Plymouth Vt, so...
From recent travels. My pic.
Tennessee, Nashville, a big park not too far from downtown. Been there!
Looked up the name, it's the Parthenon. May as well have my picture too:

Correct, in the back of Centennial Park. Full size replica. There is even the 42' statue of Athena inside if you want to pay the $10 to see it. You're up!
Funny, mine has a bench that I don't see in yours. Mine was 2008. Ugh, doesn't feel like 15 years ago!
For the next puzzle, this not my picture:

Ward Charcoal Ovens park, Ely, Nevada.
That was quick! You are up.
Here's my next challenge...
The chain link fence makes me think it is not North America and that leads me to the middle east, maybe Saudi Arabia?
Correct on the first point, incorrect on the second.
Not Middle East or not Saudi?
Hmm, other large deserts... Gobi in Asia?
Not Middle East.
Colder than cmac62 was.
Northern Africa, Sahara?
Right continent, wrong half.

I was in New Hampshire before The Old Man In The Mountain collapsed in 2003 and was there again shortly after it did. I was reminded of this while looking at that balanced boulder. So I wound up Googling "collapsed balanced boulder South Africa" after @bruce_the_loon's last clue. Here's what I got some distance down from the top
Googling "Mukurob" confirmed that this WAS once (collapsed in 1988) a balanced boulder called Mukurob (The Finger of God) in what is now Namibia but was then part of South Africa. To an old British Empire stamp collector like me, this was the Old German East Africa that became Southwest Africa, part of the Union of South Africa.

DB has it right. I'd originally confused the timeline of the Old Man in the Mountain with Mukurob and was surprised it was so far back. I remember it making all the newspapers in South Africa as it was a spectacular natural monument.
You're up DB.
That's the Boston Athenaeum viewed from the Granary Bur[ying] Grounds.
The 'rock', both of them [and more, many much more notable], are still there. At least as of December 2019.

Another rock.
Looks Appalachian, but higher up. Vermont?
You're in the correct corner of the world. Not Vermont.
That's it, @D.B.Moody
Somewhere I've got a bunch of photos of my dog atop each of the stones. Loyalty, intelligence, etc. If you had known him, 'Courage' is particularly ironic.
A composite.
It's a beautiful place to stroll nowadays, but it hasn't always been so.

I'd knock your spelling of Gloucester, but you got the pronunciation right! Head west on 90 and you can grab lunch in Woostah!
