***Where am I now?*** (game) (5)

[tomd]

Guess the location of the posted picture and WIN
This game is very similar in structure to the super macro guessing game, EXCEPT the photo is opposite in scope. This game requires a post of a landscape/locational style photo.

For example post a picture of a notable bridge, park, etc. Viewers will then guess at the location/identity of the picture. The winner will post the next photo for guessing.

Hints are encouraged to keep interest and the game progressing. Suggested hints may be narrowing in local for example: hemisphere, continent, country, state or providence, city, etc. Or: cold, warm, warmer......

Simple rules:
photo must be taken by you

limit photo size to 1024pixel on the long side max

if no response after 12 hours, game is open for anyone to post a new pic

photos should have a reasonable amount of identifiable content. Avoid pictures of the bottom side of a picnic table.

photos should be from a public location. No way can we guess the location of a picture of the inside of a dog house!

Have fun, keep it light!

Elsewhere in Europe.

You got it! I took the shot from my friend's car as we drove by.

[Nightdiver13]

Nice one Berman. WAIN?

[Roy Mathers]

[Nightdiver13]

Yep.

[Roy Mathers]

A northern state?

[Nightdiver13]

Not particularly.

[glhs509]

Mt. Shasta area?

[Nightdiver13]

Yes. Since you're already there, care to name the specific spot?

[vk2gwk]

Washington DC area?

[Nightdiver13]

Washington DC area?

Haha. If there were mountains like that in DC, I might still want to live there!

[bcd01]

Nobody want to live in DC now except crooks and politicians.

Sierra Nevada?

Go WolfPack

[Nightdiver13]

Sierra Nevada?

Close by, in an adjacent range. Ken is the closest, but I'm looking for a more specific answer.

Go WolfPack

:p

[bcd01]

Kind of looks like this place:

http://static.panoramio.com/photos/original/8021425.jpg

Avalanche Gulch?

[Nightdiver13]

Close enough. It is the Sierra Club hut on the main climbing route (Avalanche Gulch) of Mt. Shasta. That day was knee deep fresh powder and no other skiers up there! Over to you.

[bcd01]

I am having some problems with PhotoBucket right now. I can see the image but won't display in the Reply window. So somebody else go for it. Thanks Neil.

[Nightdiver13]

I don't think anyone's in a huge rush around here. Try it again later.

[vk2gwk]

I'll throw in a quicky to tie us over... WAIN?

[NigelD]

Australia?

[Kechar]

A monument to coal near Fort Scratchley, Newcastle

[NigelD]

Sounds good to me...

[Kechar]

Wait for confirmation from vk2gwk?
Wait for bcd01 to post?
Or should I throw one up?

[Roy Mathers]

You should wait for confirmation.

(Why should bcd01 post?)

[Kechar]

Because he/she got the one before this but was having trouble posting so someone went on ahead. I guess he is probably going to still be having trouble posting...n/m!

[Roy Mathers]

I see your reasoning but, when Henk confirms it, it will be up to you to post. By the way, what does n/m mean?

[Kechar]

never mind

[bcd01]

He can post, I got the problem straighten out, but I am in no rush. Thanks for thinking about me.

Bruce

[Roy Mathers]

He can't post until Henk verifies the answer.

[Kechar]

He can't post until Henk verifies the answer.

true

[vk2gwk]

A monument to coal near Fort Scratchley, Newcastle
That is correct. I said it would be an easy one... :) Over to you!

[Kechar]

This one is pretty easy, but with a twist...
I don't want to know where the items in the photo are, but where I am shooting from.
Be creative and it will be very very easy!

[Roy Mathers]

US?

[Roy Mathers]

Somewhere along 14th Street, Atlanta?

[bcd01]

Piedmont Park?

South of the lake in the field?

[Kechar]

bcd01 BINGO...you're up!

[bcd01]

Okay let's try this one, WAIN

http://i1234.photobucket.com/albums/ff419/radio_engineer/misc/uploadWAIN.jpg

This should be easy.

[Roy Mathers]

Nevada?

[bcd01]

nope

[Roy Mathers]

California?

[bcd01]

nope, Roy think movies

[vk2gwk]

East or west of the Mississippi?

[bcd01]

west

[Kechar]

Brackettville Texas?

[Roy Mathers]

Old Tucson Studios?

[bcd01]

Brackettville Texas?

no and your getting colder

[bcd01]

Old Tucson Studios?

No and I have some pictures from there if you would like me to send them to you.

[bcd01]

Let me know when you need a hint!

[BmanH]

One of the Four Corner States?

[bcd01]

That would be Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Arizona? Yes

[Kechar]

HINT!!!!!!

[bcd01]

Clint Eastwood

[Kechar]

Clint Eastwood (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7ZUHbLHMBs)

[bcd01]

I am taking you response as a question???

This is a movie set for one of his films!

[Roy Mathers]

kanab?

[Roy Mathers]

No and I have some pictures from there if you would like me to send them to you.

I've got plenty of my own thank you!:)

[bcd01]

No, I am looking for the name of the site. It is abandoned town, but it still retains its name. I had to drive miles off the main road to get there.

[vk2gwk]

kanab?
I think you are getting very close, Roy!

[bcd01]

BTW, this was shot when I was still using film cameras (Canon F1n and probably a 35-105mm lens). The picture was scanned in using a CanoScan 5600F. I no longer use that, but I prefer the Minolta Dimage Elite 5400 instead since it has Digital Ice.

[Roy Mathers]

North or south of Kanab?

[bcd01]

Neither

[vk2gwk]

North or south of Kanab?
You would make me an outcast if I snatched it from you now, Roy... :)

[Roy Mathers]

If it's not the Kanab Movie Ranch, you can have it Henk.

[bcd01]

Maybe Roy is counting Zzzzzzzs?

I did not see any updates and I thought you went to sleep. Excuse me.

[Roy Mathers]

I'm asking if it's the Kanab Movie Ranch. If it isn't, then Henk appears to know it.

[bcd01]

No, it is east of Kanab on the road to Page.

[bcd01]

A lot of flicks were filmed in Utah and Kanab was listed as the 'Little Hollywood'. But this area use to be a real town at one time; not just a movie set.

[vk2gwk]

There was a strong hint to the name of the (ghost) town in my last remark, Roy. I am not available for some time so won't take it up.

[bcd01]

Roy, The film I am thinking of is the Outlaw Josey Wales. It was filmed in the following locations (BTW, I didn't it was this many locations):

Glen Canyon, Utah, USA
Kanab Movie Ranch - 5001 Angel Canyon Road, Kanab, Utah, USA
Kanab, Utah, USA
Lake Powell, Arizona, USA
Mescal, Arizona, USA
Old Tucson - 201 S. Kinney Road, Tucson, Arizona, USA
Oroville, California, USA
Paria, Utah, USA
Wyoming, USA

I have told you that is is not Kanab and we know it is not North or South of Kanab. I hope this gives you a better idea.

Good luck, Bruce

[vk2gwk]

Bruce, I am afraid Roy will be asleep by now - it is past midnight in the UK -. To keep things going I'll finish this one off and leave it open for someone to post a new WAIN as I'll be away and won't be able to respond to guesses.
I think your WAIN is in Paria - the "ghost town". See: http://www.flickr.com/photos/olaf0803/5308807243/

After Roy guessed Kanab, I did a search on Flickr and got this within seconds... :) I just did not want to spoil it for him so left it at hinting about "outcasts".

[bcd01]

Henk, you got it right on the money. It is your call on what you want to do. Thanks, Bruce

[bcd01]

I just noticed that you are a Ham; I was not familiar with Australian call signs. But I took a gamble and ran it as such and your webpage pops up.

Regards, Bruce k4bcd

[vk2gwk]

Thanks Bruce. I use my callsign as a username in many places as it is pretty unique :) Like on Flickr. (http://flickr.com/photos/vk2gwk/)

As I said before: I leave it open for the first taker!

[Roy Mathers]

Bruce - I realised immediately that you were referring to The Outlaw Josey Wales, and I knew it was filmed in Kanab and the studios there (I have been there and seen 'the cabin').

However, as Henk has left it open, here is one -

[sparkin]

I think we've been here before Roy (from down on the beach somewhere).

[Roy Mathers]

In that case, you'll know where it is!

[bcd01]

Scotchland(?)

[Roy Mathers]

If you mean Scotland, then no.

[RandallC]

UK?

[Roy Mathers]

Yes.

[bcd01]

If you mean Scotland, then no.


All the single malts in my closet says they're scotch not scot:-)

[wowa]

Wales?

[Roy Mathers]

The whiskies may be Scotch, but the inhabitants are Scots. I assume you're American, but you don't live in Americanland! :D

[sparkin]

... I assume you're American, but you don't live in Americanland! :D

:lol:

I'm English, but I live in Americanland.

[Roy Mathers]

But you're a special case!

[Roy Mathers]

Wales?

Sorry, I missed this. Not Wales.

[Roy Mathers]

I'm off to bed now, but Sean knows where this is, so he will be answering any questions.

Good night.

[BmanH]

Is the body of water the Bristol Channel?

[sparkin]

Is the body of water the Bristol Channel?

Yes it is, just about.

[BmanH]

Devon?

[sparkin]

Devon?

Yep.

[sparkin]

Time for me to go too. Roy can pick this back up in the morning.

[Roy Mathers]

OK, I'm back now to field your questions. Thanks Sean.

[Picass0]

Woolacombe Beach?

[Roy Mathers]

I'm afraid not.

[NigelD]

Combe Martin?

[Roy Mathers]

Not there Nigel.

[Picass0]

Is it between my guess and Nigel's, East of his or South of mine?

[NigelD]

Not in Lynton are we Roy?

[Roy Mathers]

Is it between my guess and Nigel's, East of his or South of mine?

No.

Not in Lynton are we Roy?

No.

[monty28428]

Croyde ?

[Roy Mathers]

Correct Monty - all yours.

[monty28428]

Thanks Spartacus :-)

I'm just getting ready to head home - I'll put one up when I get home, but if somebody has something to post please feel free to step in.

[monty28428]

Well... I had something else in mind but... I can't read the hard disk it's on :-(

WAIN (should be easy for the old hats...)

[Roy Mathers]

One of the Carolinas?

[monty28428]

You know it Roy!

[Roy Mathers]

Do I? Wilmington?
