That one too!

[Roy Mathers]

Dolmabahce Palace is not on the Adriatic, Aegean of Marmara Seas - it's on the Bosphorus (I was there earlier this year).

OK
San Francisco, Pier 39

[Roy Mathers]

Your third guess was correct, Jean-Guy.

[MSJGD]

I realized that the Paris one was wrong and I got confirmations of San Francisco by other photos which had street lights matching the one your photo.

[MSJGD]

This one should be easy, but I tough you would like to see it and find more about it.

[Roy Mathers]

I don't know where Wikipedia got Chequers Court from, as it is never called that. But you are, of course, correct - it is Chequers.

[Darsk47]

Good one JG

You should send your shot to Wikipedia Roy, it's much nicer than what they're showing.

[MSJGD]

Thank you JG. Here's another -

[Kendoway]

Wow, I was completely stumped on that last round ;)

UK Roy?

[Roy Mathers]

Yes Chris.

[johneone]

Portsmouth?

[Roy Mathers]

Correct John - Portsmouth it is. And welcome to WAIN.

[johneone]

Wow I can't believe I got it

Someone else can pick it up - I'm not in a place where I have access to my pics

[RandallC]

Well, I'll jump in with one to get this rolling again. Forgive the quality, I took this on a recent business trip with my phone.

WAIN?

So... no

[Roy Mathers]

[RandallC]

Washington?
I'll assume you mean Washington, D.C... no

Georgia?
Yes

or Illinois ?
No

[jacuff]

Atlanta?

[Roy Mathers]

I'll assume you mean Washington, D.C... no




Why would you assume that? I actually meant Washington State - although I see that's wrong also.

[MSJGD]

Something to do with Coca Cola?

[RandallC]

Why would you assume that? I actually meant Washington State - although I see that's wrong also.
Because Washington state is east of the Mississippi (see post 556) :)

[RandallC]

Something to do with Coca Cola?
Yes, it does.

[jacuff]

You didn't answer if it was in Atlanta (http://www.worldofcoca-cola.com/html/visitor-info/index.html)?

[RandallC]

You didn't answer if it was in Atlanta (http://www.worldofcoca-cola.com/html/visitor-info/index.html)?
Ooops! Missed a post there.

Yes it is in Atlanta, and it is indeed the wonderful World of Coca-Cola!

Over to you.

Welcome to WAIN. Here's a new one to get you started fresh.

[monty28428]

Nice shot - Looks like I've been here before so I'll be sitting this one out.

[Kendoway]

Nice shot - Looks like I've been here before so I'll be sitting this one out.

That's Monty's way of saying "I won't suddenly swoop down into the thread instantly revealing the answer with no explanation of how I found it" :D

[Roy Mathers]

Because Washington state is east of the Mississippi (see post 556) :)
As far as I remember, Washington state is west of the Mississippi - but I know what you mean:D

[Roy Mathers]

Is your picture in Tennessee Justin?

Lookout Mountain?

If correct, open to the first taker :)

[jacuff]

Lookout Mountain?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/fkehren/411084182/

If correct, open to the first taker :)

That indeed is another photo of this place. I have never heard it called Lookout Mountain though. I'm going to double check my Topo maps here in a second. But for now... keep guessing. The other tags are correct, so it's just a matter of time before someone gets it. ;)

Topo map doesn't call it Lookout Mountain. There is already a Lookout Mountain near Chattanooga. There is a specific name I am looking for.

[glhs509]

Oh Look...I see a Rock in the image...

[Roy Mathers]

Is it Look Rock on the Foothills Parkway?

[jacuff]

Is it Look Rock on the Foothills Parkway?

[MSJGD]

You must have been there Roy.

Yes it is.

[Roy Mathers]

I have, a long time ago, but the British telephone box and the George Cross were the giveaways!

[Roy Mathers]

OK, here's my next one -

[MSJGD]

Eastern Europe?

[MSJGD]

Germany?

[Roy Mathers]

Eastern Europe?

No.

[Roy Mathers]

No.

[RandallC]

Yes, it is the UK.

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

[Kendoway]

OK, here's my next one -

I'd like a house that looks like a mini-castle someday. What happened with the treeline and the horizon? Is it blown out, thus the top of the tree is missing?

(sorry to interrupt with photography questions) :)
