[Roy Mathers]

[corbie3]

I suspect it is not the same sculpture- National D-Day Memorial, Bedford, Virginia?

[Kendoway]

US?

Yes Roy.


I suspect it is not the same sculpture- National D-Day Memorial, Bedford, Virginia?

No, but I the Allies probably wished they had M16's that day (look at the sculpture again :))

[DDCSD]

Georgia?

[Kendoway]

That's correct Derek.

[corbie3]

No, but I the Allies probably wished they had M16's that day (look at the sculpture again :))

Ah, well, I wouldn't know an M16 if it was pointed at me!
Is this a Vietnam memorial?

[Kendoway]

It is a Vietnam Memorial Paul.

[Roy Mathers]

Is it at the Georgia War Veterans Memorial Complex in Atlanta?

[Roy Mathers]

Emmett Park, Savannah?

[tomy]

Vietnam War Memorial, Emmet Park, Savannah, GA?

Edit:
Oops, you beat me to it, Roy . . . didn't see your post! :rolleyes:

[Kendoway]

Correct Roy, and nice work!

Over to you good sir.

[Kendoway]

Oh, and that exhausts my recent holiday travels, Cumberland Island, Savannah, and Atlanta.

No I go back to the empty well :(

[Roy Mathers]

Thanks Chris - here's another.

[Sir Plug]

Are we back in the Western Asia??

[tomd]

India?

[Roy Mathers]

Yes Tom, India.

[glhs509]

Rajasthan?

[Roy Mathers]

Yes.

[Kendoway]

Is this a government building?

[Roy Mathers]

No.

[Roy Mathers]

It's my bedtime now, so I'll catch up in the morning.

[vk2gwk]

Samode Palace Hotel, Jaipur.

and
http://www.samode.com/home/palace/s-place.htm

[Roy Mathers]

Correct sir - it's all yours.

[vk2gwk]

It is almost bed time for me.... (Good Morning Roy :) ) and I am still away from my archive. So I'll leave it open to the first bidder and will try to earn my turn next time.

[grj_app]

Here's something to keep it going: WAIN?

[tomd]

Seattle?

[grj_app]

Nope.

[Kendoway]

I believe that this is like the giant chair and table sculpture, was was posted much further back in the thread.

I think this eraser is a "traveling exhibit", so this will be interesting ;)

[grj_app]

I forgot to read the plaque next to it so I don't know if it's the traveling version or something brand new. The exact location is fairly new though!

[jacuff]

At one point it was here:
http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j120/drewsfamilytx/Sept%202009%20Washington%20DC/rsDSC_0043.jpg
So it definitely is a traveling sculpture.

EDIT: sorry... I had to erase what I just typed.

[grj_app]

From what I can gather online, this particular one seems to be a permanent fixture.

[tomd]

Nevada?

[grj_app]

Yes.

[vk2gwk]

Isn't Las Vegas in Nevada?

[grj_app]

Las Vegas is indeed in Nevada!

[vk2gwk]

Las Vegas is indeed in Nevada!

My - not so clear - question was: is this exhibit somewhere in Las Vegas...???

[grj_app]

Yes it is. But where in Vegas? It is nearby/part of something specific. A landmark if you will.

[jacuff]

You want us to center in on the location of this fine art exhibit?

[grj_app]

That would work

[grj_app]

It's real easy, really, Google is your friend! I do believe jacuff knows where this is...

[vk2gwk]

This "eraser" seems to be a work of two Dutch artists (that appeals to me... :) :) ) with names you would not be able to pronounce. Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen).
It is now on display in the City Center in Las Vegas - Bellagio Gallery.

[sparkin]

It's real easy, really, Google is your friend! I do believe jacuff knows where this is...

I think there's a bunch of us who know where it is, but we're all afraid of Roy. ;);)

[tomd]

I think there's a bunch of us who know where it is, but we're all afraid of Roy. ;);)

:lol::lol:

[grj_app]

Well, if it wasn't for an "open to next taker" I wouldn't have been able to post this one! Which is found in about 1 minute on google images even without the city name...

I'll give it to Henk since it is part of the City Center complex's fine art displays, but I don't know that it is part of the Bellagio Gallery though.

This blog was the first image hit: http://www.2blowhards.com/archives/2009/12/las_vegas_highr.html and it has some pictures of City Center in late December, as well as one taken from the Bellagio, which I especially liked.

Over to Henk.

[tomd]

this was a fun one.
I google image searched "typewriter eraser sculpture" and i got dozens of very similar sculptures.....finding the exact location was another story!

[grj_app]

I tried your search and that's funny, I had no idea there were so many views :)

Sometimes less may be more, since "giant eraser" gets it on the second page. One article I found said this is the 3rd eraser in the series and the biggest of the three.

[vk2gwk]

I learned the names of the makers of this "eraser" which I found earlier on in an image colection of the National Gallery, where this objects was on display earlier on. Then I saw the same names mentioned - without an image - in the City Center Exhibition in Vegas.... Fun.

I'll start looking in my collection for a challenging one.....

[vk2gwk]

Here is the next one.... WAIN (should not be too hard, I think).

[tomd]

nice ship, but the gal on the bow really caught my attention :o

[BmanH]

Norway?

[Roy Mathers]

I think there's a bunch of us who know where it is, but we're all afraid of Roy. ;);)

I'm a pussy cat really:D And by the way, have you noticed that, in spite ot the lengthy disussion last week, the thread is still being 'left open' or 'passed over to' frequently.

[vk2gwk]

It is not in Norway BmanH.
And sorry, Roy - I left it open last time because I was "on the road" and did not have anything with me to post. But we got a good one from grj_app to compensate for my sinful behaviour. :)

[BmanH]

Ah I thought I saw a Norwegian flag on the ship. It is in Europe?

[vk2gwk]

Yes, in Europe. And is not the Norwegian flag.

[vk2gwk]

nice ship, but the gal on the bow really caught my attention :o

I did not bring my dustpump on that trip, so this is the best I can do for you, Tom!

[tomy]

Battleship Aurora, Neva River, St. Petersburg Russia?

[glhs509]

For some reason I thought the architecture in the background resembled St. Petersburg...therefore, would this be the Battleship Aurora on the Neva River?

Edit: Ahhh...ya beat me tomy!

[vk2gwk]

Battleship Aurora, Neva River, St. Petersburg Russia?

I already thought this one wouldn't last long :). You got it exactly right Tomy!
Over to you!

[BmanH]

I did not bring my dustpump on that trip, so this is the best I can do for you, Tom!

Helloooooo nurse!

[tomy]

You got it exactly right Tomy!
Over to you!

I'm off to work now, w/no access to my photo files . . . so not wanting to stall this thread, I hand it over to anyone who wants it. :)

[BmanH]

It's been a while since I got one right so let me take this opportunity to say... WAIN?

[Heath]

NYC?

[BmanH]

It is not

[Heath]

The Wicked flag and the building in the background had me fooled.

[tomd]

:eek:
I did not bring my dustpump on that trip, so this is the best I can do for you, Tom!

[sparkin]

:eek:

I think she' trying' to call you Tom! :lol:

[sparkin]

Is the building in the US BmanH ?

[tomd]

I think she' trying' to call you Tom! :lol:

OMG, my number is 011-477-575-2947 :lol::lol:
She is a hottie!

[BmanH]

Is the building in the US BmanH ?

Yes it is.

[vk2gwk]

Washington DC?

[sparkin]

Yes it is.

The Wicked banner thing must be a clue, and it's not NYC. Was it on the 2009 tour schedule ?

[Sir Plug]

I'm a pussy cat really:D And by the way, have you noticed that, in spite ot the lengthy disussion last week, the thread is still being 'left open' or 'passed over to' frequently.

Yep. I'm guilty of that one.

Following our lengthy discussion last week, did we actually agree on or resolve anything?

Do we have any definitive rules????

[BmanH]

Washington DC?

Nope

The Wicked banner thing must be a clue, and it's not NYC. Was it on the 2009 tour schedule ?

I wasn't there last year so I don't know.

[vk2gwk]

Boston?

[BmanH]

Boston?

No.

The Wicked banner thing must be a clue, and it's not NYC. Was it on the 2009 tour schedule ?

And according to this site (http://www.broadwayworld.com/article/Wicked_to_Launch_2nd_National_Tour_in_March_2009_2 0080522), it was not on the 2009 Wicked tour.

[Roy Mathers]

I'm off to work now, w/no access to my photo files . . . so not wanting to stall this thread, I hand it over to anyone who wants it. :)

Yet another one!

[Roy Mathers]

Do we have any definitive rules????

Yes - as mentioned earlier, the ones that Tom originally set when he introduced this game. One of the first rules is that "The winner will post the next photo for guessing."

[corbie3]

Coastal state?

[BmanH]

Coastal state?

It is not a coastal state.

[sparkin]

I guess everyone was too busy to play today. :(

Well, back to the game. Is it east of the Mississippi ?

[vk2gwk]

Chicago?

[tomd]

Does this state start or end with a vowel? :lol::lol:

[BmanH]

I guess everyone was too busy to play today. :(

Well, back to the game. Is it east of the Mississippi ?

Yes

Chicago?

No

[BmanH]

Does this state start or end with a vowel? :lol::lol:

Hahaha. I guess this is your new tactic?? The answer is yes.

[monty28428]

North of the Mason-Dixon (http://www.sonofthesouth.net/slavery/slave-maps/mason-dixon-line.htm)line ?

[Heath]

New Jersey?

Newark?

[BmanH]

Yes it is!

[Heath]

Who are you responding to?

[Heath]

Near NJPAC?

[BmanH]

New Jersey?

Newark?

No, not in New Jersey.

Who are you responding to?

Sorry. I was typing my response before I saw your post. I was saying "yes" to being north of the Mason-Dixon line.

Near NJPAC?

I guess I answered this one above.

[vk2gwk]

Pennsylvania?

[BmanH]

Pennsylvania?

Yes it is!

That's the one! Over to you!

[vk2gwk]

I am not sure this is going to be an easy one..... May be, but I will need the suburb and why the building is there for the qualifying guess..... (but there are corroborating images on the web...)

Netherlands?

[vk2gwk]

In the Netherlands, yes!

[tomy]

A medical building in Enschede, Netherlands?

[vk2gwk]

medical building?

[vk2gwk]

It's bed time here. good night, sweet guesses. Back tomorrow.

[tomy]

medical building?

It's a health centre, pharmacy, and also has housing units. It is in the Roombeek area of Enschede. :confused: ??
It was constructed in the neighborhood of the 2000 fireworks disaster, as part of the rebuilding project.

[Roy Mathers]

I think you probably have it there tomy!

[vk2gwk]

You got it Tomy. I checked and, yes, the ground floor area of the "Eekenhof" (name of the building) seems to be used as a medical center (gp's and pharmacy) while the main part of the building consists of apartments. I did not notice the medical facilities when I shot this last year. Very interesting area with heaps of nice architecture! A shame more than 20 people had to die in this disaster.

Here is a link (http://www.archdaily.com/36446/de-eekenhof-claus-en-kaan-architekten/) with more information for those interested.

Over to you Tomy!

[tomy]

Ok, I'm new on WAIN, and don't know whether this will be too difficult, or too easy, or in between. :confused:

Anyway, here goes:

[tomy]

Portland Japanese Garden?

That's not the Japanese Garden in Golden Gate Park is it?

No and no.

[BmanH]

No and no.

Oh darn. I thought I'd give it a try. I know there's a beautiful tree (http://www.flickr.com/photos/48276696@N00/3421492926/) in the Portland Japanese Garden.

Is it in California? Is it The Japanese Garden in Van Nuys, CA?

[tomy]

Is it in California?

It is indeed!

[tomy]

Is it The Japanese Garden in Van Nuys, CA?

No on that one.
