I didn't notice a name of Dorothy, so I don't think so.

[BmanH]

Europe?

[sparkin]

Looks like where the teletubbies live!

[Sir Plug]

Europe?

No, not Europe

[Sir Plug]

Looks like where the teletubbies live!

LOL, it was a strange place!

[BmanH]

It also reminds me of Super Mario Bros.

[Kendoway]

US?

Also, are they functional, or decorative?

[Sir Plug]

US?

Also, are they functional, or decorative?

No, not the US and no, they're not functional

[BmanH]

Southern or Northern Hemisphere?

[tomd]

Looks like where the teletubbies live!

that's exactly what I thought of.

[Sir Plug]

Southern or Northern Hemisphere?

Southern

[Kendoway]

Australia or NZ?

[Sir Plug]

Australia or NZ?

The Avatar detail gives the answer to this one!!

[Sir Plug]

Or rather, my location detail!

[BmanH]

North or South Island of NZ?

[Sir Plug]

North.....I am looking for the town / city it's near and the name of the location........as per Roy!!!!

[Sir Plug]

Right, I've got a busy day and an early start, so I'm off to bed. I'll check back, in the morning.....

[sparkin]

North.....I am looking for the town / city it's near and the name of the location........as per Roy!!!!

Well then, it must be the Moenkopi pipes !

Is it near Auckland ?

[BmanH]

Well then, it must be the Moenkopi pipes !

It can't be the Moenkopi pipes because that's in Australia!:)

[Sir Plug]

Well then, it must be the Moenkopi pipes !

Is it near Auckland ?

Yeh...that's it...over to you!!:p

No, it's not near Auckland.......

[Sir Plug]

Right, I'm going to be out of sight of a PC for the next 9 or 10 hours, so if more than 1 of you confirm finding the right place, I'll let it pass to the finder.

To recap, it's in the North Isaland of NZ (not near Auckland) and although the pipes have no 'working' function, they're there for a reason........

[BmanH]

Is it in a park of some sort?

[BmanH]

And is it north or south of Lake Taupo?

[Sir Plug]

South of Taupo and in a small park (sort of!?)

[BmanH]

Near Wellington?

[Sir Plug]

Very close!

[RandallC]

How about Wahine Memorial Park?

I still can't find an image that matches, but this seems like it might be right.

[RandallC]

Here we go:
http://wellington.govt.nz/services/arts/publicart/gallery.php?type=memorial&page=2

The Wahine memorial (although this site calls it Churchill Park)

The Wahine memorial (although this site calls it Churchill Park)

You got it. A memorial to the 54 dead in one of New Zealand's worst maritime disasters. Amazingly, over 600 survived......

Churchill Park is where it is located. It's a kids play area!

That was surprisingly difficult. Seems like there should be tons of searchable images online, but it took forever to find one.

Here's a new one. WAIN?

[tomd]

Yes

[RandallC]

... and the building appears to be known as "the original Spauling residence".
Exactly right! Over to you...

[sparkin]

Exactly right! Over to you...

Certainly a funky-looking building.

I'll leave the WAIN open to the first taker ...

[grj_app]

Here's one to keep things going: WAIN?

[grj_app]

I am subscribed to this thread and received a notification that BmanH posted that it is Tulum, Mexico - which indeed it is. So over to BmanH for the next WAIN.

For some reason I can't see the actual post here in the thread, so not sure when exactly BmanH posted his reply and/or if there have been any other replies. Or if this reply will show up!

Wow that was just a guess for me! I've never been there but I've seen pictures of the ruins when I was in Cancun. I did delete the original post and I thought I replied again but I guess I didn't hit the button. =p

I'll put something up to keep it going but I won't be responding until the morning.

[sparkin]

Does this bridge carry just the road, or is there a lower deck, e.g. for trains ?

[tomd]

is this bridge over a river?

[BmanH]

Vermont?

Nope.

[Roy Mathers]

Niagara Bridge?

[kskitt]

Where am i??

[Roy Mathers]

I'm afraid you don't understand the game. You can't post a picture until the previous one has been guessed - and only then if you are the one who has guessed it correctly.

[Sir Plug]

Tappan Zee Bridge

[Sir Plug]

Or Bear Mountain Bridge

[BmanH]

Where am i??

I'm afraid you don't understand the game. You can't post a picture until the previous one has been guessed - and only then if you are the one who has guessed it correctly.

I think kskitt must have predicted that Sir Plug would answer it correctly and that he would give it up to the next taker.

Or Bear Mountain Bridge

Yes it is! It was the longest suspension bridge in the world... 80 years ago!

[sparkin]

Where am i??

Not sure if it counts, being out of sequence and all, but it looks like Ightham Mote in Kent.

If correct, I defer to Sir Plug. I have nothing fresh to post in any event.

Yeah you are right. Sorry i messed up :(

[Sir Plug]

Well, with a busy day ahead, I won't be able to check back on any guesses, so I'll leave it open..
If nobody has posted by the time I'm done, I'll post a pic........

[Roy Mathers]

All right, I'll step in -

[dcm1]

In the UK?

[tomd]

Greece?

[sparkin]

Yeah you are right. Sorry i messed up :(

No worries - this is a good game, stick around.

[Roy Mathers]
