So #40 is the American Stonehenge. Never heard of it.
Hell, Harvey, I've lived in Georgia most of my 53 years and I've never heard of it. Had to look it up on Wiki to figure out what the Georgia Guidestones was all about. Then there is carhenge www.carhenge.com

OK Track and field, next to an olympic pool,and looks like Polo grounds with horse stables.I am gonna first guess Santa Barbara Polo and Racquet Club where Prince William AKA Duke of Cambrige,Your Royal Highness, played Polo today.Second guess is Summer Olympics somewhere sometime.

wonder if that "V" cut in the grass (lower left) is just a fluke, or means anything?

The oval is a standard 400m track and humans race on it. It was 440yd long (like many other tracks) when its most famous event occurred.

I don't think he was wearing saddle oxfords when he ran, or when he went down the stairs while sliding on the bannister.

XLII: Good one! XLI: Due to a virus, no photo uploads for the past few days. My first thought went along this line:  Then I realized that there was no way to get something heavy under there...
