Thanks Tom - and well done to you and Ken.

I think Czechoslavakia (as it was then) was part of the Eastern Bloc, and Sean says that this wasn't.

I don't remember saying anything. :confused:

[sparkin]

Well done Ken and Tom on the real-life WAIN - great stuff!

[vk2gwk]

Has this to do with the Missouri River near Omaha?

[dannythrottle]

West of Omaha and ultimately the outflowing water does flow into the Missouri River.

[Roy Mathers]

I don't remember saying anything. :confused:

Sorry, that should have read 'Henk says it wasn't' :o

[vk2gwk]

West of Omaha and ultimately the outflowing water does flow into the Missouri River.

Excuse me, but Rivest should not have posted - the previous WAIN had not been confirmed!

That's what I thought but I was going with the flow. :D

I think it's fairly obvious though. ;)

[Rivest]

Tcusta00 found it!

I posted because the last WAIn poster said he was going away so he gave it to first to post. ;)

[tcusta00]

I'll await further instructions. :?

Kearney Dam?
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kearney_dam_2.JPG
Yes, but it's actually its called the Spillway Park & Museum which is the Old hydro-electrical power dam at UNK. I belive it's the oldest hydroelectric dam in all of Nebraska :D

Now it has been confirmed, we can go back to your WAIN, and it's up to you to confirm that the baton has been handed to TcustaOO.

[dannythrottle]

I thought it was completely fine to post a new image according to the rules on the front page:
if no response after 12 hours, game is open for anyone to post a new pic

but awesome lets see the new one!!!!

[sparkin]

I agree - it's the loss of continuity that I don't like.

TcustaOO - can you tell me what is historical, famous and noteworthy about this place?
Sure, from the Wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pike_Place_Market) on Pike Place market:

Historical: The smaller "Pike Place Public Market Historic District" listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places is bounded roughly by First Avenue, Virginia Street, Western Avenue, and a building wall about halfway between Union and Pike Streets, running parallel to those streets

Famous: The Pike Place Market sees 10 million visitors annually.

Noteworthy: The Market opened August 17, 1907, and is one of the oldest continually operated public farmers' markets in the United States.

I didn't think I was misleading in my answer to your question. Sorry.

It's a "must see" if you're ever in Seattle. And the whole area (including Post Alley) is a great place for photography.

I'm itching to center that sculpture, before it falls off the edge of the table (must be my OCD taking over) :)

[Roy Mathers]

Dr Pete - you shouldn't have posted that picture, as it wasn't your turn. The previous one was correctly guessed by, and handed over to, Henk - whose turn it now is. We can't have two running at the same time.

Sorry. My mistake...

Sorry I may be partially at fault here, too, as I handed it over to Henk, who guessed the DC Subway system... that was all I was looking for, but Pete came in after and nailed it down more precisely.

[Roy Mathers]

If you handed it to Henk, that was enough;)

[Dr.Pete]

I'm still learning the rules. I just got so excited to get out of the equipment forums and actually stick to photography. :)

[dannythrottle]

Sorry I may be partially at fault here, too, as I handed it over to Henk, who guessed the DC Subway system... that was all I was looking for, but Pete came in after and nailed it down more precisely.

Read Dr.Pete's answer again, he was clearly right as he stated the correct station "Capitol South". v2k's answer was "Washington DC Union Station" which is a specific station also incorrect and not "DC Subway system" as you wanted... It may not be ok to takeover without original poster saying so but original poster should also pick the correct answer :D

[Roy Mathers]

It is entirely up to the poster of the original WAIN as to how much information he (or she) wants and who to hand it over to.
