[Roy Mathers]

Evening Pete. Bol Port is exactly where it is. How did you find it?

Well done and over to you.

[PeteJaffa]

Thanks Roy.

Croatia+island+rent a boat (i think) actually found it on flickr.

WAIN?

[Roy Mathers]

Is this in Europe?

[PeteJaffa]

Yes Roy.

[Box Brownie]

France?

[PeteJaffa]

Not France but I think I see what direction you're going in....maybe.

[tomd]

Italy?

[monty28428]

Town square, Glasgow ?

[PeteJaffa]

Italy?

Not Italy

Town square, Glasgow ?

I don't know of a Town Square in Glasgow but there is another Square that this building is situated. :D

[PeteJaffa]

Scotland?

Yes.

[monty28428]

Yeah well tourists your know...

[Roy Mathers]

George Square, Glasgow?

[PeteJaffa]

George Square, Glasgow?

It is in George Square. What building?

[Box Brownie]

George Square, Glasgow?

I think Roy has it here you can see the larger picture ;) http://www.trekearth.com/gallery/photo868947.htm

Edit: The City Chambers??? But if that is right I think Roy should have it as only with his 'clue' did I even look at that square :D

[PeteJaffa]

OK you can fight it out amongst yourselves. It is the City Chambers and its not so famous 'mini statue of liberty'.

Over to Roy then. Well done guys.

It was that mini "Liberte" that started me looking at France :D

[PeteJaffa]

It was that mini "Liberte" that started me looking at France :D

I thought that. Good thinking.

[Roy Mathers]

Thanks Pete. I must admit that I was going to guess France (for the same reason) until Box Brownie got a 'no'.

I'm going to bed shortly, so it probably wouldn't be fair for me to post one now - so somebody else please take it.

[PeteJaffa]

[GeoffSobering]

Well, here's a super-easy one to tide any die-hards overnight...

WAIN?

[bara03]

National Museum of the US Air Force?

[GeoffSobering]

National Museum of the US Air Force?
Nope.

[bara03]

An Air Park somewhere in the US - :lol:

[GeoffSobering]

An Air Park somewhere in the US - :lol:
It's in the US, and it's near an airfield...

[Box Brownie]

Hmmmm! is the is Airforce One a Boeing 707 VC-137B designation SAM26000 (or it could the SAM970) located at The Museum of Flight in Seattle.

I have found a couple of Air Force Ones as B707's and the other is at the Ronald Reagan Library Air Force Pavillion (under cover) the other is as above but the the proof image here http://www.aviationexplorer.com/presidential_air_force_one_aircraft.html (scroll doan to the last plane image) is not the one shown on the musem website ???

[GeoffSobering]

Hmmmm! is the is Airforce One a Boeing 707 VC-137B designation SAM26000 (or it could the SAM970) located at The Museum of Flight in Seattle.

Well, since this game is "Where am I now?" and not "What's in the photograph?", I'll have to give it to you.

Just FYI, SAM 26000 is in the US Air Force Museum at Dayton (along with two other Presidential aircraft), SAM 27000 is at the Regan Library (as you mention), and SAM 970 (the first of the 707 Presidential transports, BTW) is at the Museum of Flight in Seattle.

Over to you!

[Box Brownie]

Hi Geoff

Thanks for the more detailed info re "AF One" locations.

Have a go at this ~ is it a stinker or a quick one :lol:

[tomd]

[Box Brownie]

[glhs509]

I'll take a guess and say the Brooklands Test Hill (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Brooklands_Test_Hill_looking_down.jpg) ?

[Box Brownie]

Hi Ken

And you would be correct ~ what lead you there???

Over to you :D

PS Anyone wishing for an interesting day out should get along to Brooklands - the home of British Aviation & Motorsports.

PPS Good night for now.

[Pete]

Good one...I found it difficult to search for on google.

[tomd]

Hope this isn't too hard:

[bara03]

Logging Thingy in the US?

[Roy Mathers]

I like 'thingy' :D

[tomd]

Logging Thingy in the US?

This is not in the US.

[tomd]

While this is a thingy, it is not related to logging.

[Roy Mathers]

Is this thingy in Canada?

[tomd]

Is this thingy in Canada?

Indeed, thingy is in Canada!

[Roy Mathers]

In that case, is the thingy in British Columbia?

[tomd]

No, not in BC

[GeoffSobering]

Well, we know you like mines (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showpost.php?p=5054633&postcount=2672), but for the life of me I can't find one that looks like this...

Is it a mine headframe or something like that?

[tomd]

OMG, that is so funny. Did you actually remember that post, or find my ols mine post via search? LOL

Yes, this is a mine head/shaft.

[Roy Mathers]

Is it in Alberta?

[tomd]

Is it in Alberta?


not in Alberta.

Anyone want a clue?

[Roy Mathers]

Is it in the eastern half of Canada?

[tomd]

Is it in the eastern half of Canada?

maybe, what is your dividing line?

[Roy Mathers]

East of Winnipeg?

[tomd]

East of Winnipeg?


according to google maps, Yes it is east of Winnipeg, although not by much ;)

[Roy Mathers]

So it's in Manitoba?

[tomd]

So it's in Manitoba?

Nope, not there.

[Box Brownie]

Yes, I realised similar would be the word ;)

How about Rice Lake Mine?

[tomd]

Not Rice Lake mine, sorry

(but the material is correct)

[Box Brownie]

Hmmm! I am coming up with Flower Gold Mine situated at Gods Lake?

Edit: link here and image at the bottom of the page may have a different angle/perspective.....but ??? http://www.elkislandlodge.com/history.htm

[tomd]

Hmmm! I am coming up with Flower Gold Mine situated at Gods Lake?


LOL

Yes Gods Lake, so you are winner!

The flower is very funny. The word flower is actually the name of the icon used in the Elks Island web site, the character before the gold mine jpeg.

Thus a google search shows results as "flower gold mine"

http://www.elkislandlodge.com/history.htm

[craiglee]

it gets your photos and compares them to a community of photos and it stitches it into a 3d view of the location.

for the thingy on the lake, if someone took a picture of it before it's possible to match it up, super impose it, and give you multiple POV of the location.

interesting, I'll have to try it out, thanks

[Box Brownie]

Thanks Tom, I now need to find a WAIN. Give me a (short) while and I will see what I can find :lol:

PS Every time I see Canadian images it reminds me that one day we promised ourselves a trip most likely to the Vancouver side. Just not sure when it might happen???

[Box Brownie]

OK fellow WAINers lets see what you make of this one. I have maybe a few clues and one or two other images to offer but heh this WAIN so over to you :lol:

[Roy Mathers]

Is this a church in England? Is there anything special about it, or anything that could suggest where it is?

[Box Brownie]

Is this a church in England? Is there anything special about it, or anything that could suggest where it is?

It is church but not in England ~ if I am giving a clue now I would say UK somewhere?

What you are looking at is unique for the use of the material and the many items made of it around the church.

Nuff for now ;) I might even have given it away?

[bara03]

Is the material you are talking about some sort of crystal thingy (TM) which many items are made of in the church?

[Roy Mathers]

So - in this in Scotland?

[Box Brownie]

Is the material you are talking about some sort of crystal thingy (TM) which many items are made of in the church?

Its all glass (i.e. none of the eclisiastical things you would think should be wood or metal are all glass) and dates if I recall from the 1930's and as its getting close to "night-night" all the items were made by a very famous glass maker. Does that help?

[Kaa]

St.Matthew's Glass Church. The very famous glass maker is Lalique.

It's in Jersey (the UK one, not the US one :D)

Kaa

P.S. You gave away too much in hints...

:lol: yes,I was too quick to throw the clues in but I have an early(ish) start in the moring and would be out all day.

You are spot on but for added points with no reward did you find out who the benefactor was that paid for all the lovely glass and refurbishment???

Incidently, where are you located?

PS It is an amazing building with such lovely works of what are IMO glass sculptures not 'simply' church decorations/elements. The cross, rood screen, alter piece etc.

[Box Brownie]

So - in this in Scotland?

Roy,

I am sorry I missed that guess ~ late supper of fish n' chips after doing some tiling replacement in the bathroom, I did not pay enough attention to the thread. :o

[Roy Mathers]

No problem Box. Fish and chips are far more important :)

[Kaa]

OK, here we go.

Where, oh, where am I now?

[DDCSD]

Someplace I'd love to visit! Great shot, I'm having fun following all of the lines in it.

Is this part of the Great Wall?

I don't think it is, but need to eliminate the obvious. :)

[tomd]

next post is 10,000 :D

[Kaa]

Bit small for the Great Wall :-)

Nope.

Kaa

P.S. Whee!!! 10,000!

[DDCSD]

Oh, and welcome to POTN and especially WAIN!

[tomd]

Kaa, nice picture, and welcome to POTN.

Is this in Europe?

[DDCSD]

next post is 10,000 :D

Ah, I just missed it!

Bit small for the Great Wall :-)

Nope.

Kaa

P.S. Whee!!! 10,000!

I figured so :), it looks more like South America to me actually. Is it in South America?

[Kaa]

No to South America, yes to Europe.

Kaa

[tomd]

Hadrian's Wall,Scotland?

[Kaa]

Hadrian's Wall,Scotland?

Nope.

Kaa

[DDCSD]

Southern Europe, according to the UN and this map:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Location-Europe-UNsubregions,_Kosovo_as_part_of_Serbia.png

[Kaa]

Um, Kosovo as part of Serbia.png..? :D

Yes, Southern Europe.

Kaa

[DDCSD]

Um, Kosovo as part of Serbia.png..? :D

Yes, Southern Europe.

Kaa

Hey, I didn't name it. :lol:

Greece?

[Kaa]

Greece?

Nah. Greece has columns and porticos, not castle walls. ;)

Looking forward to it! You'll find that we have quite a bit of experience around here in locating places. Beautiful shot!

I'm getting ready for a trip this weekend, so I'll leave it open to whomever has something to post.

Good. Seems a fair enough point to split the thread here (we split threads at about 10K posts to help forum performance)
