Where in the World?

Peace on Earth. . . The particular piece of earth where the white, Indian-style pagoda shown in our April ’05 issue is located is Gotemba City, Japan.

The temple, located in Peace Park, contains some relics of the Buddha presented to Gotemba City by India’s first prime minister, Pandit Jawaharial Nehru.

One reader identified the photo correctly by the deadline: FRANCES KAKAZU of Colton, California, who said, “It brings back fond memories of my visit to the site two years ago this month.”

Very early in the 13th century, inhabitants of what is now known as the Island of Tongatapu, Kingdom of Tonga, built this impressive 12-ton structure. It is the Ha’amonga Trilithon, a 5-meter-high limestone coral “gate” whose purpose is not known. (Some think it may have been the entrance to the king’s palace-and-garden complex.)

Twenty-five readers sent in correct answers, and STAN BACH of Washington, D.C., won the drawing. We thank Phyllis Tapscott of Indianapolis, Indiana, for sending in the photo.

The “Lady with the seagull” statue has greeted visitors to Opatija, Croatia, since 1956, when she was placed above the Lungomare Promenade. Sculptor Zvonko Car created the work.

We thank Daissy Owen of Iowa City, Iowa, for sending in the picture.
