[BmanH]

Do you consider Mexico part of Central America?

Sorry! Yes, you do.... :) (I should look up things up in Wikipedia more often.... )

I personally thought Mexico was part of Central America too but I had to look it up to make sure.

[RandallC]

Thanks.

WAIN?

[vk2gwk]

Continental USA?

[BmanH]

Europe?

[BmanH]

Now I'm second guessing myself. Was there some type of flooding that caused this damage? New Orleans post Katrina?

[Heath]

Looks more like fire than flooding.

North America, other than continental USA?

[RandallC]

Continental USA?
Yes
Europe?
No
Now I'm second guessing myself. Was there some type of flooding that caused this damage? New Orleans post Katrina?
Actually, not damaged at all in this photo -- just very old and weathered. Note that this photo is about 5 years old and the building has been refurbished a bit since, but still recognizable.

North America, other than continental USA?
No fire. No flooding (at least not in this shot ;))

[sparkin]

East of the Mississippi ?

[RandallC]

East of the Mississippi ?
Let's call it east (although technically it's north :))

[BmanH]

Illinois, Indiana, or Ohio?

[RandallC]

Illinois, Indiana, or Ohio?
No on all three.

[vk2gwk]

Michigan or Pennsylvania?

[sparkin]

Let's call it east (although technically it's north :))

Strange answer Randy, is it in Minnesota ?

[glhs509]

If not MN, Wisconsin?

[DDCSD]

Louisiana?

[DDCSD]

Does the state in which it is located either border or contain the Mississippi River?

[RandallC]

Michigan or Pennsylvania?
No
Strange answer Randy, is it in Minnesota ?
It will make sense when you see it on a map. I'm trying to give hints but I fear I'm confusing people. Not MN
If not MN, Wisconsin?
Not Wisconsin
Louisiana?
Yes

[RandallC]

Does the state in which it is located either border or contain the Mississippi River?
Yes

[glhs509]

Let's call it east (although technically it's north :))

Eh? I thought Louisiana (and MN for that matter) is considered west of the Mississippi (about half of its eastern border is basically the river)...
Guess it's another Cyprus -> Europe/Mid.East topic...

[mckinleypics]

Baton Rouge?

[vk2gwk]

French Quarter New Orleans?

Lafitte Brothers Blacksmith shop or Pirate Bar - New Orleans.

New Orleans is north of part of the Miss and east of another part (and kinda south of another part!). :lol:

At any rate, NO is on the same side of the river as New York is. :)

[tomd]

Looks promising Henk.

That's the place! Supposedly the oldest bar in the US.

It was a tough question. Hope I didn't throw anyone off the trail with my answer.

It's all yours, Henk.

(Oh, and almost forgot -- congrats to the New Orleans Saints!)

[BmanH]

Now I'm second guessing myself. Was there some type of flooding that caused this damage? New Orleans post Katrina?

Randy, I noticed you never addressed the second question I posed. :confused:

And yes, congrats to the Who Dat Nation!

[RandallC]

I didn't answer the New Orleans question, but it was to avoid confusion. My technically-correct answer would have been "not post-Katrina New Orleans" (this is a pre-Katrina photo). But if people took that to mean "not New Orleans" then everyone would be off on a wild goose chase. I figured someone would catch the omission and ask again.

Between the Katrina question and the east/west/north/south of the Mississippi question, this was tough to keep on track.

[vk2gwk]

Good morning all!
Here is the new one - could be relatively easy....

Yes.

Yes - less than 100miles from Newcastle.....

[Roy Mathers]

The Tea Gardens-Hawks Nest Bridge (Singing Bridge)?

[BmanH]

Roy, it seems like you always get the bridges!

[vk2gwk]

The Tea Gardens-Hawks Nest Bridge (Singing Bridge)?

Well done, Roy. As the crow flies this bridge is less than 15 km from my home but it takes about 1 hour by car (or 20 min. by boat) to get there.
Again a beautiful area - especially further north in the Myall Lakes National Park.

Over to you, Roy!

[Roy Mathers]

Roy, it seems like you always get the bridges!

Pure coincidence (or luck)!:)

[Roy Mathers]

Thanks Henk. Here's my next one.

Seriously, is it south of the Trent ?

We still call them roundabouts!

[NigelD]

[BmanH]

Is the county its in inland or does it have borders along a body of water?

[Roy Mathers]

The latter.

[BmanH]

Cornwall, Devon, or Somerset county?

[sparkin]

It looks like it might be Buttercross, at Swaffham in Norfolk - i.e. here:

It doesn't only look like it Sean, it is! Over to you sir.

Not there either.

[vk2gwk]

Not In Europe, Africa, the America's, Asia or the Pacific/Australia... Must be the moon then... :)

Or is the Caribbean not part of the America's?

[Roy Mathers]

Actually, the Caribbean Islands and Greenland are considered part of North America - so that only leaves Antarctica!

[vk2gwk]

You are absolutely right, Roy. But I excluded Antarctica because of the content of the image. But... may be it is a future shot of global warming... :)

[BmanH]

It's in the Caribbeans. I wasn't thinking in the context on continents.

LOL. See above. I have managed to confuse yet again!

[glhs509]

Looks like the onset of the Dunn River Falls...

Yes. This photo was taken from a resort that was domed off.:p

[Roy Mathers]

I did ask if it was in any of the Americas!:(

You got it!

[Roy Mathers]

It certainly does Ken!

[BmanH]

Yes you did and I forgot the Caribbeans are a part of North America. Sorry! It's like when I ask "Australia", I'm only asking about the country, not the continent.

[Roy Mathers]

That is reasonable - but if you ask Australasia.....

[glhs509]

Thanks BmanH...I thought it looked familiar.

Since I'm mobile at the moment, you get stuck with an easy one...

Yes, India is part of Asia Monty - but I'm afraid I don't see your point.

Roy,
I believe Monty is referring to:

It is not in France.
It is in a (historic) military establishment.

Well technically the UK is north of Austria. Denmark, Norway or Sweden then?

[vk2gwk]

UK is more North West.... But none of the scandinavian countries you mentioned.

[sparkin]

UK is more North West.... But none of the scandinavian countries you mentioned.

Hmm, does that imply it's a Scandinavian country that was not mentioned, like Finland perhaps ? If not then maybe one of the Baltic nations ?

[vk2gwk]

Finland it is, Sean.

[BmanH]

Finland it is, Sean.

Of course it's the one I leave out!

[BmanH]

Btw, is there a limit to how many questions we can ask per post?

[vk2gwk]

Better ask the next question first...???

[BmanH]

haha I know. That one was directed towards anyone.

In or around Helsinki?

[vk2gwk]

Yes, very close to Helsinki city

[Roy Mathers]

Btw, is there a limit to how many questions we can ask per post?

It's much easier for everyone if you just ask one question per post.

[BmanH]

Is it part of a museum or historic park?

[BmanH]

It's much easier for everyone if you just ask one question per post.

Gotcha!

[Roy Mathers]

Is it part of a museum or historic park?

Henk has said that "It is in a (historic) military establishment."

[BmanH]

Henk has said that "It is in a (historic) military establishment."

I'm just trying to narrow it down to what type of military establishment it is.

[vk2gwk]

Cannot say much more unless I give it away. It is a historic military establishment and it has - as part of it- a museum as well.

Spot on, Sean. The big bell is part of a churchyard with the chapel for the Fortress in the centre. The whole church is surrounded with a fence constructed of cannon and anchor chain.

Over to you!

Thanks Henk. That was a good one - now I know all about the Finnish Winter War (and a bunch of other blind alleys). I'll have another up in a few minutes.

[sparkin]

I'm not sure how long this one will last, but here's my wife, kids and me at a place of special significance. ;) It's eight years ago, and we were treated like royalty in the giftshop.

Technically speaking this breaks Tom's first rule, because my father in law took the picture, but it was with my first digital camera - an Olympus P&S with a whopping 2.1MP, that was later stolen (a few months later) at Disneyworld. :(

Anyhow, WAIN ?
