***Where am I now?*** (game) (3)

[Roy Mathers]

That certainly looks like it Monty!

[monty28428]

I think that is it... Finally put some of the clues together "town", "main drag" etc - led me to search for the smallest town in Wales!

Found the bird shot after I posted the guess - still can't find a shot with those buildings though.

[GregMik]

Llanwrtyd Wells ?

Maybe -> Link (http://flickr.com/photos/61226262@N00/2754885216)

[Roy Mathers]

St Colomun Church, near Fussen?

[tomd]

I would guess it is in the south of Germany. Is it?
Yes it is.

St Colomun Church, near Fussen?

sorry, not that one.

[Zumba]

Is it East or west of Augsburg?

[tomd]

Is it East or west of Augsburg?
Almost due south :lol:

HINT: It's probably the most famous church in southern Germany.

[Roy Mathers]

Time for me to step in here -

(I've replaced the image without the UFO!)

[annietex]

UK?

BTW, is that dust on your sensor ;)

[Roy Mathers]

Yes, it is the UK.

Where do you see the dust?

[annietex]

here...

[monty28428]

Annie that's just one of those monster sized Engish rain drops ;-)

[Roy Mathers]

Yes, it does look like dust - but it's not on any of the other pictures that I took at the same time. Strange!

[annietex]

or maybe a UFO-the one that got away!!

[Roy Mathers]

Annie that's just one of those monster sized Engish rain drops ;-)

Monty - the worst rain I've ever been in was in Charleston! :D

[monty28428]

LOL -- Roy of that I have no doubt! We do get some nasty storms in the coastal Carolinas!

[tomd]

or maybe a UFO-the one that got away!!

LOL, that's what I was thinking.:D

[annietex]

This is hard as I have no knowledge of my mother land...

[PeteJaffa]

England?

[Zumba]

Hertfordshire?

[Roy Mathers]

England?

Yes...

Hertfordshire?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/darencole/2422526691/

[Roy Mathers]

That's the place Monty...too bad it doesn't say where :D

[Roy Mathers]

Here it is again, without the UFO! :D

[annietex]

Gaddesden Place!!

[monty28428]

Pretty sure you got it Ann!

[annietex]

Well, if it weren't for you Monty, I don't think I would've! Not sure if I have anything that will work as an entry...

I'll take another look while I wait for confirmation :)

[Roy Mathers]

You've got it Annie - I thought you said you have no knowledge of your mother land! :D Well done and over to you.

[annietex]

Ok, forgive this fabulous scan...WAIN?

[monty28428]

Well done Monty, over to you.

[monty28428]

Looks like an interesting place!

I'm still WAINless so somebody have a go please.

[tomd]

I think Monty must have the highest guess to correct answer on the WAIN thread.

Nice job.

[monty28428]

LOL -- I'm not sure that's a good thing!! I think Pete & Ken might be a bit better though!

Damn game sure is addicting....

[tomd]

LOL -- I'm not sure that's a good thing!! I think Pete & Ken might be a bit better though!

Damn game sure is addicting....

OK, I think you should go through the last 20,800 posts and take a count. ;) Then we would have a statistical ranking.

[glhs509]

LOL -- I'm not sure that's a good thing!! I think Pete & Ken might be a bit better though!

Damn game sure is addicting....
Monty, you probably do have the most correct guesses...you have more posts than Pete and me together. Besides, I travel too much and don't have that much time for guessing ;)

I would jump in with the next post, but have a few thousand images to import into Lightroom :(

[monty28428]

A few thousand!! Holy smokes -- Have fun!

[monty28428]

OK, I think you should go through the last 20,800 posts and take a count. ;) Then we would have a statistical ranking.

I obviously should be spending more time taking photos :eek:

[tomd]

Or watching football

[Roy Mathers]

Enough of this chit chat! Is someone going to post a picture?:D

[tomd]

Enough of this chit chat! Is someone going to post a picture?:D

sounds like you are volunteering :D;)

(usually not this much participation on a Saturday)

[Roy Mathers]

Well, I was really just prompting! :D

[monty28428]

[Roy Mathers]

[monty28428]

Southwold ?

[tomd]

Southwold?
edit: too slow! :oops:

[Roy Mathers]

Bognor?

[Box Brownie]

Southwold ?

I know we are a small island to you guys across the pond but I think Southwold is in Suffolk, isn't it??? And that is effectively East Coast ;)

[Box Brownie]

Bognor?

Not Bognor and as its getting late to help you zero in that is too far east.

[tomd]

but I think Southwold is in Suffolk, isn't it??? And that is effectively East Coast ;)

minor detail...:D;)

[Box Brownie]

minor detail...:D;)

As I said, you guys across the pond and the way you 'view' the old country..........:razz:

PS Talking of chit chat, how goes the runup to the 4th Nov?

[tomd]

Monty, your statistical accuracy is decreasing; your were off a bit.

[tomd]

how goes the runup to the 4th Nov?

I think most people are tired of hearing all the political ramblings, and would prefer the election be tomorrow and get it over with.

US population 300 million and these two characters are the best we can come up with.:oops::o

[monty28428]

LOL Box/Tom!! Hard to keep up with all the posts all of a sudden!

[monty28428]

Indeed -- Quite embarassing!

Far be it for me to comment on that aspect but I have seen unsually (compared to our UK elections where the only early votes are pre registered postal ones) that you guys have started to vote already and the BBC news was commenting that unlike previous elections when the early voters were mostly Republicans it is mostly Democrats in these early sessions ~ interesting maybe?

[Roy Mathers]

I think most people are tired of hearing all the political ramblings, and would prefer the election be tomorrow and get it over with.




As Tony Blair said on American TV recently -'British election campaigns last about four weeks; American ones last four years' (or words to that effect). :D

[Roy Mathers]

Box - is your picture in Devon?

[Box Brownie]

[monty28428]

Thanks Box! Safe travels my friend.

Nice to see this game running full tilt for a bit!

Wish I had something to post :-( Free to the first taker!

[Box Brownie]

Glad it went fairly quickly.

Thanks for the thoughts on my travels next week. I think it will a 550 plus miles week, I do not bother to take much notice of the mileage until the end of the week ~ all the way down St Ives in Cornwall and back again staying in a different hotel every night - about 15 different towns/principal locations to work through and as many clients as I can cover in the week!!!

[DDCSD]

I wish it was yesterday, actually. :)

As Tony Blair said on American TV recently -'British election campaigns last about four weeks; American ones last four years' (or words to that effect). :D

Or in the case of this year's candidates, fourty years each! :)

I hope we don't get booted for being too political. :eek:
