Well, I almost guessed Bourne (http://www.flickr.com/photos/plastereddragon/2749842675/sizes/l/), but I'm putting my money on the Sagamore (http://www.flickr.com/photos/hylinecruises/2695754241/sizes/o/)...

[jacuff]

Hmmm.... then could it be the Falls Mill?
Falls Mill it is. Over to you.

I think Sean deserves the credit for this one but I'm at work so I've got nothing here. Leaving it open.

[monty28428]

Athens, Acropolis?

See above. :lol:

[tonylong]

Agrigento, Sicily?

[DDCSD]

Agrigento, Sicily?


Dangit, this was supposed to be tougher than that! :lol: You are correct. One of the most amazing places I have ever been, supposedly the best Greek ruins outside of Greece.

Over to you, Tony!

[tonylong]

Heh! Page 2 of "italy ruins" in Google Images did the trick!

Nothing on hand, so I declare it OPEN SEASON!

[corbie3]

Here's an easy one then until a better one comes along.

Not so far from there, as it happens ;)

London perhaps ?

Not London, no.

[NigelD]

Yes indeed. Land of the Hogwarts Express.

[sparkin]

Mainland Scotland, or an island ?

[sparkin]

Is it the Main Street in Stromness ?

[corbie3]

Is it the Main Street in Stromness ?

Correct Sean! Over to you.

[sparkin]

Correct Sean! Over to you.

Thanks Paul.

Unfortunately I haven't been anywhere remotely interesting in ages :(, so I'll leave it open ...

[vk2gwk]

Relative newcomer here. But I think I got a challenging one....... It is not in the country I live in . But where....???

[tomd]

Welcome!
Great shot.
Is this in Denmark?

[jacuff]

Welcome to WAIN!

Russia?

[glhs509]

Netherlands?

[vk2gwk]

Sorry folks, not Denmark, not Russia and not in the Netherlands. But you are getting warm... :)

[Kendoway]

Europe?

[NigelD]

Belgium

[bahelmer]

Belgium?

[DDCSD]

Belgium?

[monty28428]

:lol:

[vk2gwk]

Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark and (at least part of ) Russia are all in Europe.... But we have not got to the right country yet...

[bahelmer]

France?

[sparkin]

Mainland Europe, or an island ?

[tomd]

Germany?

[vk2gwk]

Got it right, Tom... it is in Germany. But where...???

[sidg]

Dusseldorf area?

[DDCSD]

:lol:

Hey, I was on my phone and didn't have a chance to refresh or check after I posted. Be nice! ;)

[vk2gwk]

Dusseldorf area?
I suggest you start with guessing the right German province (Buendes Land) and then we can narrow it down. With Dusseldorf you are in the wrong province.

[vk2gwk]

Hey, European - and especially German members of POTN - here is your chance.....!!!!!

[tomd]

Is this north of Hannover?

[glhs509]

Then how about Bad Kreuznach?

[glhs509]

Ach! Entschuldigung...Disregard my previous guess...
Bad Rothenfelde (http://www.flickr.com/photos/clarkefreak/4030999757/)?

[vk2gwk]

Ach! Entschuldigung...Disregard my previous guess...
Bad Rothenfelde (http://www.flickr.com/photos/clarkefreak/4030999757/)?

You got it right and it looks as if the Flickr shot was taken at almost the same spot as where I took mine... :) Congratulations!

This is a huge construction about 750M long and 10M high of twigs on a frame. Salty water from the local wells is pumped by the wind mills at both end of the construction is sprinkled over the twigs and evaporates with just enough salt in the air to give people walking past this construction the impression that they are enjoying sea air. This gives a relief for patients with breathing problems like athma. There is also a walkway inside the construction.

I visited this spot September last year. Bad Rothenfelde is in Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen) about 20 km south East of Osnabrueck.

So now it is up to glhs509 to put up the new challenge.

[glhs509]

Thanks Henk...I don't have anything at the moment, so I'll leave it open...

[RandallC]

Here's a little something. I'm afraid it's going to be way too easy, but I thought it was an interesting location. Besides, maybe we need an easy one to get wain going at full speed in 2010.

[DDCSD]

I am the walrus! Coo coo ca chooooo!

[vk2gwk]

Is this in your home town, Randy?

[RandallC]

Is this in your home town, Randy?
It is indeed.

[vk2gwk]

Never been there but I Googled a bit and found a shot (http://www.flickr.com/photos/photocoyote/2853240636/) of the Arctic building that seems to be pretty similar.

That's the place. Not too many "walrus buildings" so I figured it would go fast.

Over to you.

[vk2gwk]

This one should not be too hard either....... Where is this and what is it?

[sparkin]

Australia ?

[vk2gwk]

Australia ?

Sorry, no! Totally different continent.

[RandallC]

How about the Sibelius Monument in Helsinki?

[vk2gwk]

How about the Sibelius Monument in Helsinki?

Exactly right. We stopped in Helsinki one day last trip to EU.
So the ball is back in your court. Randy!

Oh, and one more thing...Welcome to WAIN Chief!

[RandallC]

No
Montana?
Yes

[Kendoway]

Chief (Ninastiko) Mountain - Glacier National Park?

[RandallC]

Chief (Ninastiko) Mountain - Glacier National Park?
That's correct! Bonus points for also giving the Blackfoot name.

Over to you.

[Kendoway]

It's been some time since I put up a new one - and rather than go with a landmark, I'll try something different. No fair guessing if you have seen my comments in other threads or on Facebook :)

Should be easy enough though.

PS - Where the heck is Roy? He hasn't posted in 2 weeks or so. I hope he's on holiday somewhere :)

Good work Jacuff - over to you!

[jacuff]

Good work Jacuff - over to you!

Thanks, I knew it looked familiar (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showpost.php?p=8746684&postcount=1812).

I don't really have anything either, so I'll just post something a little different that should be pretty easy to find with just a little bit of searching.

[Kendoway]

Tennessee?

[jacuff]

Tennessee?

Yes

[Kendoway]

Bearden Bulldogs?

[jacuff]

Bearden Bulldogs?

Close enough. Bearden High School in Knoxville. Over to you.

[NigelD]

Who were they playing Justin - I couldn't identify the other logo

[jacuff]

Who were they playing Justin - I couldn't identify the other logo

That's actually West Rebels vs Webb Spartans. It was at a tournament hosted at Bearden High School.

[NigelD]

Doh! Looking for the wrong thing - again!

[Kendoway]

Wow - I don't think I've ever hit 2 in one day :)

I'll leave it open to the first taker, simply to let someone else have some fun.

[bahelmer]

WAIN?

[RandallC]

US?

[bahelmer]

Yes, US.

[vk2gwk]

California?

[bahelmer]

Yes, California.

[vk2gwk]

San Francisco Bay Area? Insterstate 580 - I think I recognise that bridge and the powerlines from a trip to CA.

[bahelmer]

Yes to SF Bay Area. But not 580...

[vk2gwk]

Well the only other one this size is the Oakland Bay Bridge - But have not seen nor crossed that one since the earthquake.

[sparkin]

Is it the Dumbarton Bridge ?

[bahelmer]

Not Oakland Bay Bridge.

[bahelmer]

Yes, It is the Dumbarton bridge. Over to you..

[sparkin]

Yes, It is the Dumbarton bridge. Over to you..

Thanks!

I initially thought it was the San Mateo Br, which I drove many hundreds of times back in the late 80's. I think Henk must've been thinking of the bridge at Richmond, which was also part of my route. If I remember right, the Dumbarton was down at the sludgy end of the bay.

Gimme a few minutes to root around old pictures ...

[sparkin]

Another bridge, but on a smaller scale - probably won't last long, WAIN ...

[vk2gwk]

Is this in Kentucky?

[sparkin]

Not Kentucky Henk.

Yes ...

[DDCSD]

TN?

[tomd]

Is the building in the background part of a collage or university?

[sparkin]

TN?

No.

[sparkin]

Is the building in the background part of a collage or university?

I don't think so. The footbridge is in a touristy area of a city.
