Hmmmmm.   The whole question has now been answered correctly but the points will have to be divided.  Oxford = 1
Bodleian =1
Library =1

So 2 to Fester and 1 to Dave.  But after a penalty for "butting in" 1 point is transfered to Dave so the amended result is 2 to Dave and 1 to Fester.       ZXZ

And now here is a really easy peasy one.  Where, name, what is it?
I expect Fester to swiftly demolish this one.

I have not got the faintest idea....looks like a badly iced cake for a yachting club.
So now I am off to answer my emails to Dave (suitably admonished) ... then I'm off to Oscar, where I might be appreciated!    L0L L0L L0L

OK, I give in...I've seen it from an aeroplane window.... I know its in Tokyo Bay,  but I have never known what it is....and no one could ever enlighten me when I asked.
I hate Japan anyway.

Most of the people who saw this structure via Google Maps or from the window of an airplane have wondered if it’s something going on there and what people had in mind if there is something like a secret facility of the Japanese Government where they keeps aliens or Godzilla.
In fact, there is nothing like that there and although the structure is gorgeous, nothing happens there. It’s called Kaze-no-to and is only a ventilation shaft on the Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line which links Kisarazu City and Kawasaki City.
This man-made island is also called the Tower of Wind, and it took about 30 years to be completed. The views that you will see from there are probably breathtaking therefore we truly recommend as a sightseeing spot if you ever visit Japan.

I like Japan!!!    ZXZ

Yes, that's correct Yorkie.  There's a Vineyard nearby where you can taste the wine, I had 3 free samples and then opted for a coffee with a strawberry and cream scone. Nice way to finish a walk.

It does look like an old Coastguard Lookout place but it's not, but you're very close though!
