Cabbage Key?

Hmm...last guess for me, Emerson Point (Snead Island) ?
Nope. Here's a hint "Famous Florida Bridge"

[Pete]

Well, it looks like the skyway bridge, but I can't see any named location that would have that viewpoint.

I'm out of ideas.

Good enough you win. It's the Skyway Bridge rest stop which has a really nice park

Just for our interest, could you show us the location with a Google Maps link please? This one really stumped me.

[Pete]

This should be a simple one...

[Pete]

No. There's no such location as "London Tower" that I know of.

[clickclickclick]

I mean the Tower Of London

[Roy Mathers]

Scotland?

[Pete]

I mean the Tower Of London

No, it's not there, sorry...

[Pete]

Heh... Sorry, not one from my latest adventure...

[clickclickclick]

[Roy Mathers]

[Pete]

Is it a famous landmark?

Yes, but this isn't a renowned part of the place.

[Kendoway]

Near St. Paul's?

This gal has done a poor job of image tagging :)

[Roy Mathers]

It's odd that it isn't the Royal Mile, as I came across this - http://www.flickr.com/photos/nodens2k/3266109734/

That's the place, but "this ole building" isn't the answer I'm looking for... ;)

[Pete]

Proof that you shouldn't believe everything you read... :D

[Roy Mathers]

The Law Courts in the Strand?

[Pete]

The Law Courts in the Strand?

Yep.

Royal Courts of Justice is usually stated as being on Fleet Street, but the Strand turns into Fleet Street very close to the courts.

Well done, I didn't think it would take long to guess that one.

[clickclickclick]

Nevermind.

[Roy Mathers]

Yep.

Royal Courts of Justice is usually stated as being on Fleet Street, but the Strand turns into Fleet Street very close to the courts.

Well done, I didn't think it would take long to guess that one.

Thanks Pete. I think you're a bit mistaken as to the address - the Law Courts (Royal Courts of Justice) are definitely in the Strand.


I post a picture 'ere long.

[Pete]

I was thinking the same thing!:D

[tomd]

Kent?

[jacuff]

Warwickshire?

[Pete]

I was hoping that someone with an organized mind would rattle off all of the counties in the British Isles until they hit the right one.

Then I'd go in for the kill with the correct guess...

:D

[Roy Mathers]

Ah! The Yanks are back!

Kent?

No.

That was almost as agonizing as the petroglyph... :D

[tomd]

That was almost as agonizing as the petroglyph... :D

very true

[Pete]

At last! It is indeed one of the gates to Woburn Abbey.

Wow. I looked at Woburn as soon as Bedfordshire came up. Even after a few minutes googling, I'm still unable to find a collaboration for this one.

Well done on a devious photo, I would have never got it.

Caribbean?

[Sir Plug]

Knew this would be easy for the Americans among us.........

[Kendoway]

Knew this would be easy for the Americans among us.........


Um, generally you want us to guess which island, or which town perhaps. It can as be exact as you want it to be (within reason).

Now Roy on the other hand generally wants it narrowed down to the PRECISE crate in the warehouse at the end of Indiana Jones.

OK, the Island, the town and the name of the beach (optional, if you know it)

It was taken from the balcony of a famous persons house. (Double points if you guess who!:cool:)
