    It must be in a former Soviet republic, somewhere in central Asia?

    It's the Ulan Bator Opera House in Mongolia. I'm pretty sure.

    Considering that you like Scotland a bit, my guess is the Callanish monument in the Hebrides Archipelago. It really makes the Anglosaxonic Stonehenge look like a childish game of domino .

    I feel you. I also preferred Bonnie Prince Charlie to those sausages from Hannover.
    Anyway, time for the next pic:

    Merls-El-Kebir, Algeria? I know it's that because of Alcácer-Quibir, as we say it in Portuguese. The names are similar and once I ended up in a page about Mers in Wiki.

    I'd rather you gave me a more specific answer, but yes, the place is in the State of Rio de Janeiro, and actually within the city limits. You may continue if you want!
