***Where am I now?*** (game) (4)

[tomd]

looks like a great place to visit.

[Roy Mathers]

You've let me down Pete!:D England?

[Pete]

looks like a great place to visit.

Correct! :D

[breal101]

North of Birmingham?

[Pete]

North of Birmingham?

No.

[breal101]

So is Roy correct? It is England and not Ireland? I think Scotland was already eliminated. While I'm asking can someone define the UK, for instance is Wales part of England? You would never know that while driving through, I always wondered how I would tell the car hire company where I was should I have car trouble in Wales. :lol:

[Pete]

You've let me down Pete!:D England?

Sorry, missed seeing you there.

No, it's not in England.

[NigelD]

Is it Raglan Castle?

[Pete]

Is it Raglan Castle?

It is indeed. Well done (although it was really easy).

[NigelD]

Thanks Pete - open to the first taker guys.

Great Britain consists of (the separate countries of) England, Scotland and Wales. The United Kingdom includes those three countries plus Northern Ireland.

[monty28428]

Well that (eventually) tells me Brazil - but not Porto de Galinhas!

I guess you missed post #8 in that thread :-) Step-father (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showpost.php?p=8072833&postcount=8)

[Roy Mathers]

All I can say Monty is that Arthur Conan Doyle could have based his novels on you!

[vanessa14]

Thanks Vanessa!



Well I believe that is where Vanessa lives -- right smack in the middle of paradise :-)

I don't have anything so it's open to the first taker.

[Roy Mathers]

You are most definitely in the right area. I'm afraid I'm off to my bed now, so I'll pick up your answer in the morning.

[glhs509]

Nice wig (http://static.panoramio.com/photos/original/4894758.jpg) Roy! :)

[Roy Mathers]

I don't know the lady, so it would be unfair to comment!

Sean - I'd like to know what the monument is but, if you can't get it, I'll give it to you anyway.

[sparkin]

Parietti monument, here:

[Roy Mathers]

That's the one! Over to you.

[sparkin]

That's the one! Over to you.

I think I've even been there as a kid, but it would have been 32 years ago, and I don't remember it a bit.

I'll get a new one up in a short while. I've just got back from a trip a couple of days ago, so I should be able to find something fresh once I download from the camera.

[glhs509]

Raven Run Nature Park? :D (sorry Monty...beat ya to it!)

[sparkin]

Raven Run Nature Park? :D (sorry Monty...beat ya to it!)

Good one - snoopin' on my web page eh! Raven Run is about 10 miles away from home, so it's not much of a trip.

This is where I just went:

[Roy Mathers]

US?

[sparkin]

US?

Yes.

[Roy Mathers]

Kentucky?

[sparkin]

Kentucky?

Nope.

[breal101]

Sanibel Light house ??

That's the one - well done Monty.

[monty28428]

Thanks Sean!

Ok an easy one... WAIN?

[BmanH]

Disneyland? It looks like the turtle from Finding Nemo.

[monty28428]

You are half right BmanH :-)

[sparkin]

Something to do with little Nemo the clownfish ?

Looks like BManH was quicker on the draw than me - I just saw the post.

[monty28428]

Yes... now where ?

[BmanH]

Half right??? DisneyWORLD?

[monty28428]

Half right??? DisneyWORLD?


Yes :-) What park ?

[monty28428]

Come on guys/gals -- hot date in 30 minutes :-)

[BmanH]

LOL. I haven't been to Disneyworld in 20 years! Epcot? Magic Kingdom?

[RandallC]

Disney's Animal Kingdom park?

[monty28428]

One of those :-)

Not Animal Kingdom RandallC.

Pick one.

[BmanH]

Magic Kingdom

[DDCSD]

The submarine ride at Disney?

[monty28428]

The other one BmanH :-)

As that answers the question (Epcot) I hand WAIN over to you!

[BmanH]

The other one BmanH :-)

Woohoo! Only took 20 tries. Here's mine. There's already a clue in the pic. (It's not in my flickr photostream so don't bother looking for an answer there)

[glhs509]

Could it be The Breakers?

[BmanH]

Could it be The Breakers?

I thought it might have been too easy! Looks like it's your turn.

[glhs509]

It was a good WAIN, especially since you need the UWA to get that view because of the trees in front...
Almost home, so I'll post one up shortly...

[sparkin]

Come on guys/gals -- hot date in 30 minutes :-)

Monty: Post a WAIN from the hot date ! :)

[glhs509]

Sorry for the delay, quality of the scan, and lack of hotties in the image...
WAIN?

[BmanH]

Is this lighthouse in the US?

[glhs509]

Is this lighthouse in the US?
Not in US...

[breal101]

Cape Agulhas Lighthouse, South Africa?

[glhs509]

Well done breal101!
Over to you...

[breal101]

Well done breal101!
Over to you...

I'm in a state of shock, my first win. I have nothing, so over to the next taker.

[Kendoway]

I've been out of town, and have missed some fun.

Drove 563 miles today (Boston to Cahrlottesville), so I'm whipped. Will see you all in the AM.

Cheers :)

[monty28428]

Must have been tiresome as you have now moved to Cahrlottesville :-)

Glad you had a safe trip Chris and thanks for the hint on the next WAIN you post :p

[Roy Mathers]

Yes, it's always unwise to give away information like that!

[monty28428]

I believe it's a ruse Roy!

[Roy Mathers]

Yes, it could well be a double bluff!;)

[Kendoway]

Must have been tiresome as you have now moved to Cahrlottesville :-)

Glad you had a safe trip Chris and thanks for the hint on the next WAIN you post :p


:p Yourself.

My fantasy is to someday go out and shoot some photos on the Ronne or Ross Iceshelve(s), but seed a number of other threads before I leave telling everyone that I'm going to Vermont for week.

Then I shall shake my tiny internet fist at you Monty!

[tomd]

Happy Halloween everyone!

[sparkin]

We seem to be running on fumes here. Here's one, WAIN ?

[Kendoway]

Thanks for kicking off a new one Sean!

[Sir Plug]

If I'm right, I'll leave it open to the 1st taker as I'm off to work, now.............

[sparkin]

Herne Bay, Kent?

That's right, but how ever did you get it ?

[monty28428]

1987 B.Sc. (Hons) University of Kent at Canterbury, Kent, UK

Maybe ??

[sparkin]

1987 B.Sc. (Hons) University of Kent at Canterbury, Kent, UK

Maybe ??

Yeah, I guess I'm too much of an open book. I lived in Herne Bay '85-'86, but the picture is only about five years old.

[Sir Plug]

1987 B.Sc. (Hons) University of Kent at Canterbury, Kent, UK

Maybe ??

That and I was there earlier this year. Didn't recognise it straight away with the angle you used.......
Anyway, work calls, so I'll leave it open.............

[breal101]

You guys are good. I was just thinking, there's this guy who owes me money, if I post a pic you think you could find him for me? :lol:

[Sir Plug]

You guys are good. I was just thinking, there's this guy who owes me money, if I post a pic you think you could find him for me? :lol:

LOL. If there's a finders fee involved:lol:...........

[Sir Plug]

Spot on, Sean!

[Sir Plug]

Obviously UK. Northern half of England?

Obviously? The sky gave it away, then? :)

[Roy Mathers]

No, the type of building really.

[sparkin]

Spot on, Sean!

I take it you've been?

Not in the last 35 years!

It was the red post box by the window that gave it away - that and Google ("old post office")

What does the blue sign say ?

[Sir Plug]

Not in the last 35 years!

It was the red post box by the window that gave it away - that and Google ("old post office")

What does the blue sign say ?

The sign is attached to a gift shop and shows what they sell, Crystals, Fossils, sculptures, tools, etc...
