Thanks Pete....I had help.:oops::lol: I run a falconry forum and have a few friends on there from the UK. I just asked them.:o

I will post this pic and then I will post another to give a better hint, if nobody can guess.

Please guess the building.....

Greg

[PeteJaffa]

Are you within the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis?

[GregMik]

Are you within the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis?

Close, but no

Greg

[PeteJaffa]

Are you on top of a building?

[GregMik]

Since I said to guess the building.....Here is another....Sorry if this is against the rules.

[PeteJaffa]

Well my next guess was the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome?

Is it the Herbert or Hubert?

[GregMik]

Are you on top of a building?

There is another level behind....But only 10' higher.

Greg

[GregMik]

Well my next guess was the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome?


Nope....You see it in the pic....hheheheh

[GregMik]

Is it the Herbert or Hubert?

Hubert. He is a well known politician that ran on a ticket as Vice-Pres. A while ago.

[monty28428]

Currie Park ?

[GregMik]

No....

Greg

Yes.....

[Roy Mathers]

It's a sure sign that it's Sunday. No-one is at work, so no-one is playing WAIN :D

[Roy Mathers]

Are you on 13th Avenue?

[GregMik]

Are you on 13th Avenue?

No.....

[Roy Mathers]

Are you on 5th or 6th Streets?

[corbie3]

Multifoods Tower?

[GregMik]

Are you on 5th or 6th Streets?

Warmer.....

Multifoods Tower?


No, that building is on the other side of town. The name has changed also, it is now City Center I believe.

Greg

[GregMik]

Time for some more pics....Roy you were the closest so GO.

It is the Ceder Riverside apartments across interstate 35W from the Metrodome. If you look a little north from the same building you can see the new bridge that replaced the one that fell into the Mississippi last yr.

Greg

[Roy Mathers]

Thank you Greg - I think I would have been a long time getting the actual building! Here's my next offering-

[Darsk47]

England ?

Great shot BTW !!

[Roy Mathers]

Thank you Darsk! Yes, it is England.

[Darsk47]

Does the county begin with a letter from B-M ?


Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Cheshire, Cornwall, County Durham, Cumbria, Derbyshire, Devon, Dorset, East Riding of Yorkshire, East Sussex, Essex, Gloucestershire, Greater London, Greater Manchester, Hampshire, Herefordshire, Hertfordshire, Kent, Lancashire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Merseyside, Norfolk, North Yorkshire, Northamptonshire, Northumberland, Nottinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Shropshire, Somerset, South Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Suffolk, Surrey, Tyne & Wear, Warwickshire, West Midlands, West Sussex, West Yorkshire, Wiltshire, Worcestershire.

[Roy Mathers]

Wow, this is a new type of shotgun approach! :D Yes, it is in the B-M section of that list!

[Darsk47]

B to E section of this list?


Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Cheshire, Cornwall, County Durham, Cumbria, Derbyshire, Devon, Dorset, East Riding of Yorkshire, East Sussex, Essex, Gloucestershire, Greater London, Greater Manchester, Hampshire, Herefordshire, Hertfordshire, Kent, Lancashire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Merseyside

[Roy Mathers]

No.

[Darsk47]

Does it begin with a G or H


Gloucestershire, Greater London, Greater Manchester, Hampshire, Herefordshire, Hertfordshire, Kent, Lancashire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Merseyside

[Roy Mathers]

No, it doesn't begin with a G or an H.

[tomd]

I just had to introduce my new avatar.

[Darsk47]

is it in Kent?

[Roy Mathers]

I just had to introduce my new avatar.

Scary,Tom!

is it in Kent?

No.

[Darsk47]

Merseyside?

[Roy Mathers]

No, not Merseyside.

[monty28428]

Keeping with the approach...

Lancashire ?

[Darsk47]

Leicestershire?

[DDCSD]

I think Roy's lying. I've been to England twice, and I never saw a sky that blue there. ;)

[monty28428]

ROFL!

[monty28428]

St Mary's Church in Stamford ?

[Roy Mathers]

Well done, Monty! Some great detective work there. It is, in fact, Stamford Bridge with St Mary's in the background.

And, just to answer Derek's post, here is a picture I took last week (it's obviously not a WAIN). You've obviously been to England on the wrong two occasions Derek! :D

[monty28428]

I'll vouch that Roy has posted a couple of pics from last week where indeed the sun was shining!!

Thanks Roy -- I'm at work and don't have anything handy so somebody feel free to post up a new WAIN

[PeteJaffa]

I'll jump in here for a quick one.

WAIN?

[Roy Mathers]

I've got to ask - Glasgow?

[Zumba]

Scotland?

[PeteJaffa]

I've got to ask - Glasgow?

Yes, I even left in a 'Welcome To Glasgow' sign. May be a bit small to see actually.

Scotland?

Yes.

[Darsk47]

A train station - Glasgow central?

[PeteJaffa]

Not a train station

[Roy Mathers]

The Hunterian Museum?

[PeteJaffa]

Sorry for the delay guys.

Not The Hunterian Museum.

[Pete]

Kelvin Hall, Glasgow

[PeteJaffa]

Well done Pete. I was just coming on to say I won't be here the rest of the day although I may sneak a peak on ye olde Blackberry later on so I'm glad you got it.

[Pete]

Thanks Pete. Just took some googling to find!!

This will probably go quick

[Roy Mathers]

UK?

[Roy Mathers]

St Michael's Mount?

[Pete]

St Michael's Mount?

You got it... I knew that would be way too easy. I must start travelling again!

[Roy Mathers]

Thanks Pete - here's another one -

[tomd]

looks familiar (WAIN). Is this on the shore of Lake Erie?

[Roy Mathers]

No Tom.

[Mgdh]

Is this on the Italian lakes?

[Zumba]

is it in Italy?

[tomd]

ShoreStation brand boat lifts, definitely in the US....
flat land surrounding the lake.......is this a Great Lake?

of course you had that trip to Iowa a few years back....ummmmmmm

piers are permenant (don't come out in the winter) must not be on a flowage.

[squashed]

California?

[Roy Mathers]

Is this on the Italian lakes?

No.

is it in Italy?
No.

Not one one of the Great Lakes.
California?
No.

[tomd]

Iowa?

[Pete]

Is it Couer d'Alene again? :D

[Roy Mathers]

Iowa?
Yes,Tom, it is in Iowa! :D

Is it Couer d'Alene again? :D
No.

[Zumba]

Spirit Lake?

[Roy Mathers]

No.

[PeteJaffa]

Is that boat hoist thingies?

[PeteJaffa]

Lake Okoboji?

[bara03]

Is that boat hoist thingies?

Hey that's my thingy word :lol:

[PeteJaffa]

Hey that's my thingy word :lol:

I've called my lawyer and you're right, I owe you some royalties.

[Roy Mathers]

Not Lake Okoboy - and I'll leave you two to fight over the rights to 'thingy' :D

[tomd]

a thingy is like a du-hicki

[Roy Mathers]

Or a whatchmacallit.

[DDCSD]

Is this south of Interstate 80? I'm guessing it is or not far north of it since the docks seem to be permanent (as mentioned before) and I'm sure they wouldn't be (due to the lake freezing) in northern Iowa.

Or it may be Clear Lake (near Mason City). :)

[Roy Mathers]

I don't know whether it's south of I80, but I do know that it's Clear Lake.

Well done, Derek!

I thought it looked familiar. :D

ReWaining can only mean one thing......Roy must need a vacation soon.

[monty28428]

LOL -- Exactly!! (I've been dying to try out my new word all day!!)

[GregMik]

Where is the new one?

Greg

[DDCSD]

Whoa, sorry guys, I just tossed that out since it was next to Mason City, never thought it was right. It actually looks almost exactly like Lake Madison in SD. Let me see if I can dig something up.

[DDCSD]

Let's give this one a shot.

WAIN?

It was new to me!!!! That was a bit before I got started in WAIN. Yes, Roy needs to come visit the states again, so we can have a WAIN convention. :lol:

Me thinks you all jest, in future anyone who uses the word thingy or it's derivitives will have to pay a royalty to me, this is set at 0.00000000000000000000001p payable via PayPal only, no cheques or visa allowed - ;)

[Roy Mathers]

http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showpost.php?p=3931384&postcount=5290

Oops. I'd forgotten I'd posted that! It was over a year ago that I posted that, Monty - don't tell me you trawled through two years' worth of posts to find it? :D

I thought it looked familiar. :D

I've been to the US a couple of times since that picture was taken, but a WAIN convention sounds a good idea!

Don't fall for it people! The word 'thingy' is in the OED as dating from the late nineteenth century so, unless Bara is well over a hundred years old, he has no claim to the word. He is trying to rip us off!
