[Kendoway]

Sugar would not be the end product (or petroglyphs) for that matter ;)

[Roy Mathers]

To do with molasses?

[Roy Mathers]

Is it Jamaica? Something to do with rum production?

[Kendoway]

Is it Jamaica? Something to do with rum production?

Yes to both questions, where am I?

[Roy Mathers]

The Appleton Estate?

[Kendoway]

Well done Roy! One of my favorite parts of our recent Jamaica trip.

Over to you...

night Roy, dream up a good WAIN

[Roy Mathers]

Good morning all. Have a look at this -

[MSJGD]

British Isles

[Box Brownie]

This is the Granary in Wells next the Sea in Norfolk UK here http://www.tournorfolk.co.uk/wells/wellsgranary.jpg from this site http://www.tournorfolk.co.uk/wells.html

For the record I was struggling with search descriptions but heh ho :D

Edit - assuming Roy confirms as correct ;) I will leave this open to the first taker???

[Roy Mathers]

It certainly is Box - how did you get it so quickly?

[Box Brownie]

It certainly is Box - how did you get it so quickly?


My initail searches I was using too complex a string ~ I then used "uk green gantry" that gave the Wells next the Sea on Flickr so added "Wells next the Sea" to the starting string and I got the site I linked to.


having checked a BBC link I see it mentions that the Granary has been made into luxury flats ~ I wonder if any 'workspace' was also left? And does anyone actually own the gantry, would make very unique 'room' :D

[tomd]

Box, are you searching Google, Google images or other engine?

[Box Brownie]

Box, are you searching Google, Google images or other engine?


I always start with Google . co .uk but have been known to vary that but using .com .it .whatever to narrow the searches ;)

[Kendoway]

Gee, here I am with my morning coffee - and I've already missed a round :)

Nice work Box.

[zippy25]

Wow, WAIN has changed since I was last involved...13 hours and no posts, no pictures, no nothing...Is it me or have people have lost interest in the game??

[Roy Mathers]

It's very often quiet at the weekend David. It would seem that people generally play it at work! Sometimes, though, it still gets quite hectic.

[Kendoway]

Wow, WAIN has changed since I was last involved...13 hours and no posts, no pictures, no nothing...Is it me or have people have lost interest in the game??

As per Box, it's still open to the first taker!

[zippy25]

Is this a war memorial?

[corbie3]

Is this a war memorial?

Not a war memorial, no. Opposite end of the emotional spectrum!

[NigelD]

I thought it was something to do with Eve offering Adam an apple but you already said no to Chris on Eve so I'm stumped at the moment.

[MSJGD]

I spent hours on Flikrs and other site. No body else have this photo it seem.

[corbie3]

I spent hours on Flikrs and other site. No body else have this photo it seem.

It is quite a difficult one, but there are a few web pages with the photograph.
Here is a clue- the statue has something to do with what the girl is holding in her hand (not an apple).

[Kendoway]

(not an apple).

Tomato?
Bocci ball?
M67 Flash Bang Grenade?

[zippy25]

Marmande - statue of Ferline ?

[Kendoway]

Marmande - statue of Ferline ?

LOL. When I type that into Google Image Search it brings up pictures of Brittany Spears (shudder). You must be onto to something though Monty :)

[corbie3]

Marmande - statue of Ferline ?

Well done! Well timed too, I am just about to head off to bed.
Marmande is famous for the Marmande Tomato- the statue is of the girl in the legend and the inscription at the bottom reads "La Pomme d'Amour".

[MSJGD]

You beat me by a minute Roy

http://www.mairie-marmande.fr/fr/tomate/legende.htm

[Box Brownie]

I think its the La Pomme dAmour , place Clemenceau , Marmande , Lot et Garonne , France linky here http://www.photographersdirect.com/buyers/stockphoto.asp?imageid=959382

Edit - talk about everyone biting the Love Apple clue! :lol:

[monty28428]

Tough one Paul! I don't think I would have found it if not for the tomato hint!

I'm heading out myself so will leave it open to the first taker.

[monty28428]
