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

[NigelD]

North - not a state park

[Roy Mathers]

Is it in Glacier Bay?

[sparkin]

I see "MALASPINA" written on the rock, is it anything to do with the Malaspina Glacier ?

[NigelD]

Not Glacier Bay Roy

[NigelD]

Nothing to do with the glacier Sean

[NigelD]

Off to bed guys - back in the morning ...........

[vk2gwk]

Skaguay - Shipping news on the rocks? - They are all names of vessels that passed by I gues (like the mv "Zaandam" :) )

[NigelD]

That's right Henk its Graffiti Hill at Skagway. I took this whilst waiting to get ashore. Over to you !

[vk2gwk]

Thanks Nigel. And just to make sure I earned my turn... For Matthew (you were jumping the gun a bit, mate) your picture shows the Library in Alexandria (at least that is what it is according to your web site :) . Little tip: when you guess the next WAIN right you might want to remove the info on your web site (or remove the description and tags in Flickr). But: very welcome and you and all other active WAIN-ers can have a go at this one....

WAIN ???

[sparkin]

I don't have a clue Henk, but I'll take a stab at Europe ?

[vk2gwk]

Europe it is, Sean!

[tomd]

Italy?

[vk2gwk]

Not in Italy, Tom.

[_method]

holland.

[vk2gwk]

Not "holland", Matthew, but in another part of the Netherlands. :) - There are two provinces in the Netherlands, called North Holland (with Amsterdam) and South Holland (with The Hague and Rotterdam) - but there are ten other provinces....

[sparkin]

It is said that one should learn something new everyday, and this clinches it for me today. Thanks Henk!

Is is south of Amsterdam or north ?

[vk2gwk]

Is is south of Amsterdam or north ?

North, Sean (and not in North Holland :) )

[sparkin]

North, Sean (and not in North Holland :) )

Unrelated: So Henk, does that mean that the old Zuider Zee was the South Sea ?

Wild guess: Groningen, which I know it is way to the north (from your Edam wain a few weeks ago).

[DDCSD]

It is said that one should learn something new everyday, and this clinches it for me today. Thanks Henk!



Same here!

[vk2gwk]

Groningen is a town and the capital of the province of Groningen :) It is not in Groningen.

[RandallC]

How about the Dwingeloo Church in the province of Drenthe

(showing off my newly acquired knowledge of Dutch provinces :))

Very good, Randy! That is the one! Over to you!

[RandallC]

Here's a quick one:

WAIN?

[vk2gwk]

Is that a miniature town?

[binliner]

I don't know why but that looks like legoland! Legoland California?

[Heath]

The first thing I thought of was also Legoland, except I have not been to the california one, only the one in Denmark.

"LEGOLAND® is situated in the middle of Jutland, on the mainland of Denmark."

I am going to work now, so hopefully it is the california version as I will not be able to check in all day.

[RandallC]

I don't know why but that looks like legoland! Legoland California?
I figured this one would go quickly.

Yes, it is Legoland California. Over to you, Justin.

[binliner]

Sorry for the delay, I forgot it was my go!

I think (hope) this might be a tricky one :wink: ...

[Roy Mathers]

UK?

[binliner]

Yep UK

[sparkin]

England ?

[Roy Mathers]

London?

[BmanH]

Is it a church or cemetery? Neither?

[Sir Plug]

Greyfriars?

[binliner]

Sorry for the delay...

Yes it's England

No, not London

It was a church

No, not Greyfriars

[Roy Mathers]

In Essex?

[binliner]

Yes... I must hide my location!

[Roy Mathers]

Mistley Towers?

[binliner]

Clearly not as tricky as I thought... over to you Roy!

[Roy Mathers]

Thanks Justin. Sorry for the delay - I've been asleep! Anyway, here's the next one -

[vk2gwk]

Middle East?

[Roy Mathers]

No.

[binliner]

USA?

[vk2gwk]

Australia?

[Roy Mathers]

USA?

No.

Australia?

Yes.

[vk2gwk]

Alice Springs?
Edit. Anzac Hill to be more exact...

[Roy Mathers]

Correct - I was expecting you to get it sooner! it's all yours.

[vk2gwk]

Correct - I was expecting you to get it sooner! it's all yours.

It was my first thought, as I have been there - the exact spot - and recognised the ranges, more than the town buildings. But from a hill in Eilat there is the same sort of view... and that is closer to the UK :) And I was not sure if you had ever been in Australia :)

It is getting late here and I'll select a new WAIN early tomorrow morning.

Henk, is there that much greenery in/around Eilat?

[vk2gwk]

Henk, is there that much greenery in/around Eilat?
No, Ken . There are some irrigated areas where they grow vegies but not that many trees. Should have noticed that ...

Well - found one... WAIN ???

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4038/4327991385_bc1eb1fdae_o.jpg

[jacuff]

Napier, New Zealand would be my guess...

[vk2gwk]

I knew this one was too easy... :) Over to you "jacuff"

[jacuff]

Open to the next taker... (might as well be)

WAIN?
http://www.justinacuff.net/potn/675619-20.jpg

[tomd]

Europe? ;)

[sparkin]

Roy's gonna get you for that one Justin! :lol::lol:

[vk2gwk]

Nice photo Justin. Tack sharp - including the signage :)

[tomd]

Canada? :lol:

[DDCSD]

Justin, you know you can blur out the signage, right?

[jacuff]

Europe? ;)

I would be lying if I said it was. :evil::idea::evil:

[rushhour]

Just throwing out a wild guess here... Blount County?:rolleyes::lol:

[vk2gwk]

You are not being serious, Tom, are you ???

This is in Maryville TN - As the image says: Blount Cty Public Library :)

I'll have a harder one ready in a minute.

[DDCSD]

Tom's not the sharpest knife in the drawer... ;):lol::lol:

[jacuff]

Thanks! :D
Canada? :lol:
Never even been there.
Justin, you know you can blur out the signage, right?
:cool: I guess I should learn how to use Photoshop one of these days...
Just throwing out a wild guess here... Blount County?:rolleyes::lol:
Yeah, but that's not good enough to get it. I need a street address.

[vk2gwk]

http://www.blountlibrary.org/ 508 North Cussick St. Maryville TN

[jacuff]

http://www.blountlibrary.org/ 508 North cussick St.

That's it! Over to you Henk. Thanks everyone for playing my round of Open to the next taker.

[rushhour]

Yeah, but that' not good enough to get it. I need a street address.

Though the smileys would have given it away... that wasn't a serious entry.

[jacuff]

Though the smileys would have given it away... that wasn't a serious entry.

I knew. Nobody was being serious in that last round. BTW: Welcome to WAIN!

[vk2gwk]

Had to check if used this one before... :)

WAIN ???

[BmanH]

Henk, I never gave you the authorization to photograph my private helicopter.

[vk2gwk]

Henk, I never gave you the authorization to photograph my private helicopter.

You must have lost it...Finders keepers. Know where it is now (these things tend to fly away, don't they.. :) ) I might give it back to you.

[BmanH]

Oh be a good sport. I guess the rest of the guys here will help me find it. Australia?

[vk2gwk]

Not in Australia.

[sparkin]

Wild guess, US ?

[vk2gwk]

Not the US either, Sean!

[sparkin]

Europe then ? (another wild guess)

[vk2gwk]

Not so wild, Sean. Yes it is in Europe somewhere...

[tomd]

You are not being serious, Tom, are you ???


no, I was being sarcastic, sorry for the dry humor. I just had a good laugh as I saw the pic and read the building name over the entrance. :lol:

[tomd]

Tom's not the sharpest knife in the drawer... ;):lol::lol:

:D I can't even cut warm butter.

[sparkin]

Is it some sort of museum ?

[BmanH]

UK?

[vk2gwk]

It is not in the UK and it got something to do with a museum.

[BmanH]

Is it in a coastal country?

[vk2gwk]

Is it in a coastal country?

Yes.

[BmanH]

Does the country have a coast on the Mediterranean?

[vk2gwk]

Does the country have a coast on the Mediterranean?
It does not.

[BmanH]

Baltic Sea? North Sea? Ionian Sea? Black Sea?

[vk2gwk]

Not the last two.... :)

[NigelD]

Holland?

[binliner]

Denmark or Germany?

[vk2gwk]

It is not Holland or Denmark but Germany!

[BmanH]

Is this of historical significance? A war memorial? North of Frankfurt?

[sparkin]

It's not the Hubschraubermuseum (Helicopter Museum) in Buckeburg is it ??

[vk2gwk]

Sorry for the delay, but it was night here... It is not of historical significance nor a war memorial and it is not a helicopter museum. It is north of Frankfurt though....

[vk2gwk]

May be this one is too hard... A bit of a hint: the helicopter is not a real helicopter but should be considered as a work of (modern) art, part of a museum colection and created by someone classified as a modern sculpturer.

[Roy Mathers]

Vreden?

[BmanH]

Ok I have to ask it... Moenkopi Sculpture Exhibit?

[vk2gwk]

It is not in Vreden, Roy - little bit further east and south...

And it is not the Moenkopi Sculpture Exhibit.

[Roy Mathers]

It is not in Vreden, Roy - little bit further east and south...

And it is not the Moenkopi Sculpture Exhibit.

That's a shame:D

[BmanH]

That's a shame:D

When the WAIN gets tough, the tough guess "Moenkopi".

[vk2gwk]

Another hint: it is 35 km due east from one of my other WAIN's....

[BmanH]

It is not in Vreden, Roy - little bit further east and south...

Munster?

[vk2gwk]

Munster?

Sorry, You are mixing up east and west :) :) (and never the twain shall meet....)

[BmanH]

Sorry, You are mixing up east and west :) :) (and never the twain shall meet....)

Huh? Munster certainly looks both East and slightly South of Vreden to me (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=&daddr=Vreden,+Germany&hl=en&geocode=FegAGgMdkC1oACnvCRBmi264RzEwf1QxgfInBA&mra=mr&sll=52.018698,7.330627&sspn=1.024305,1.842957&ie=UTF8&ll=51.99841,7.308655&spn=0.512382,1.444702&z=10)...

In any case, is it in Hamm?

[vk2gwk]

In any case, is it in Hamm?

Not in Hamm. You must have missed the last hint:

Another hint: it is 35 km due east from one of my other WAIN's....

Actually, I think it was my first ever WAIN :)

[sparkin]

When the WAIN gets tough, the tough guess "Moenkopi".

Excellent! :lol::lol:

I don't think Henk was with us for Moenkopi.

[BmanH]

Not in Hamm. You must have missed the last hint:

Actually, I think it was my first ever WAIN :)

I was trying to guess without going through all the posts but ultimately succumbed. Is it part of the MARTa Herford?

[vk2gwk]

You got it... "BmanH". It is a "sculpture" by Michael Sailstorfer at the entrance of the car park for the MARTa Museum in Herford. A fascinating place which I can recommend for a visit. There are some more shots from inside on my Flickr.

Over to you!

Wait a sec... Has this photo been on your flickr this whole time with the description?

[monty28428]

Well done BmanH. I had absolutely no clue on that one. Good WAIN Henk.

[vk2gwk]

Wait a sec... Has this photo been on your flickr this whole time with the description?

No, I normally post the WAIN on my Flickr and then link to the forum. But I only add the description and the tags after it was guessed... :)

[BmanH]

*Whew* That was gonna be a forehead smack if it was there with the description. I'll put one up shortly.

[BmanH]

WAIN?

[mckinleypics]

middle of nowhere?

[sparkin]

I've been to places in Arizona that look a lot like that, is it there ?

[BmanH]

middle of nowhere?

LoL. Close but not quite.

I've been to places in Arizona that look a lot like that, is it there ?

It is not in AZ.

[vk2gwk]

Death Valley?

[BmanH]

Death Valley?

Not in Death Valley.

[vk2gwk]

Is it in the USA?

[BmanH]

Is it in the USA?

Yes.

[glhs509]

Hmm...Doney Crater?

[DDCSD]

Continental US?

[Heath]

west coast?

Oregon?

[sparkin]

Is that volcanic ash on the ground ?

[tonylong]

OK, west of the Mississippi?

[tonylong]

If so, east of the Rocky Mountains?

[tonylong]

Sorry, You are mixing up east and west :) :) (and never the twain shall meet....)

Hey, haven't you ever crossed over the International Date Line? East meets west and you immediately go insane:)!

[sparkin]

... East meets west and you immediately go insane:)!

So that's when it happened! :eek::eek:

[BmanH]

Hmm...Doney Crater?

Nope. Not in Arizona.

Continental US?

Nope.

west coast?

Oregon?

I don't think it's considered a west coast state. Not Oregon.

Is that volcanic ash on the ground ?

Yes.

OK, west of the Mississippi?

Yes.

If so, east of the Rocky Mountains?

Nope.

[Heath]

Hawaii!!

Kaui?

[DDCSD]

Hawaii?

CRASH! :)

[Heath]

Is the island of hawaii with a volcano really called Volcano, Hi?

[BmanH]

Hawaii!!

Kaui?

Yes! It is Hawai'i.

Is the island of hawaii with a volcano really called Volcano, Hi?

The island you are referring to is Kona - The Big Island. It is on this island but I'm still looking for a specific name.

[vk2gwk]

Hey, haven't you ever crossed over the International Date Line? East meets west and you immediately go insane:)!

Not my words, Tony - Rudyard Kipling's Ballad of East and West :) And now you mention it... no I have never yet crossed the international date line.

[RandallC]

Somewhere in volcano national park?

[BmanH]

Somewhere in volcano national park?

Yes! Getting warmer...

[RandallC]

How about Devastation Trail?
http://www.hawaiiweb.com/hawaii/html/sites/devastation_trail.html

[BmanH]

How about Devastation Trail?
http://www.hawaiiweb.com/hawaii/html/sites/devastation_trail.html

That's the one! I knew it wouldn't be too tough. All yours Randy!

[RandallC]

I thought it looked familiar (I have photos from the same general area).

Here's one to keep things moving:

WAIN?

[BmanH]

Is this airport on an island? If so, a Caribbean or Pacific island?

[vk2gwk]

Caribbean?

[BmanH]

Caribbean?

Great minds think alike. :lol:

[RandallC]

Is this airport on an island? If so, a Caribbean or Pacific island?

Caribbean?
Not an island, Caribbean or Pacific.

[BmanH]

US?

[DDCSD]

Florida?

[RandallC]

US?
No
Florida?
So, no

[BmanH]

South of the Ecuator?

[vk2gwk]
