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

[glhs509]

Your find is approved Henk...Well Done!

[Roy Mathers]

Needles in eyes springs to mind!:D

That is certainly one of the options!

[vk2gwk]

Sorry for the delay, but here we sleep when you are awake... :)
Here is the next one: WAIN ?

[Sir Plug]

Netherlands?

[vk2gwk]

Netherlands?

Nope!

[BmanH]

Europe?

[vk2gwk]

Europe?

Yes.

[BmanH]

Germany?

[vk2gwk]

Germany?

Yes, in Germany.

[BmanH]

Is it in former West Germany?

[vk2gwk]

Is it in former West Germany?

Yes.

[BmanH]

South of Frankfurt?

[vk2gwk]

South of Frankfurt?

No.

[BmanH]

Hannover, or north of?

[vk2gwk]

No, south (and west) of Hannover.

[Roy Mathers]

Cologne?

[vk2gwk]

Cologne?
Not Cologne, Roy.

[Roy Mathers]

Dusseldorf or Dortmund area?

[vk2gwk]

You are getting closer, Roy.

[sparkin]

You are getting closer, Roy.

Closer to Essen or to Aachen ?

[vk2gwk]

Closer to Essen or to Aachen ?
Neither... Roy was getting closer when he mentioned Dusseldorf after he mentioned Cologne..... :)

[sparkin]

Neither... Roy was getting closer when he mentioned Dusseldorf after he mentioned Cologne..... :)

Hmm, dunno Henk - how's about Duisberg or Monchengladbach ?

[vk2gwk]

Closer was relatively speaking, Sean..... (also related to Berman's "South of Hannover")
It is not in the Rurh area.

[BmanH]

It is in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia?

[Sir Plug]

Dortmund or Munster?

[vk2gwk]

Not in Dortmund, Paul. And yes it is Nord Rhein - Westfalen, Berman.

[BmanH]

This may be an obvious question but this is indeed a church right?

[vk2gwk]

This may be an obvious question but this is indeed a church right?

Yes.

[sparkin]

This may be an obvious question but this is indeed a church right?

I wondered the same thing, because I don't see much of a cross anywhere, but the thing in the middle thing is definitely baptismal-font like.

Maybe I can fine tune BmanH's question - is it a church or a cathedral ? It doesn't look quite big enough to be the latter unless it's a chapel within a cathedral.

[BmanH]

Yup, I've been focusing my search based on churches so I didn't want it to be in futility.

Yes it is (part or rather a "wing") of a cathedral, Sean.

[sparkin]

Is it in a University town, maybe Bielefeld ?

[BmanH]

West of Essen?

[sparkin]

Wait a minute, to Sir Plug's question of "Dortmund or Munster", you answered "... not Dortmund." - So it is Munster ?

[sparkin]

The west choir of Munster cathedral !

[sparkin]

here:

http://www.sacred-destinations.com/germany/munster-cathedral-photos/slides/IMG_1845p

[vk2gwk]

The west choir of Munster cathedral !

I was already wondering.... Munster had been implied a while ago. There are a fair number of churches in Munster but only one "Dom Kirche.

Initially I was going to put up the "outside" shot but I thought this one might be just a bit more challenging.

Well done, Sean and over to you!

[Sir Plug]

You should have been a detective, I missed that bit of subtlety! :rolleyes:

[BmanH]

Yeehaw! Nice one Sean. There are so... many... churches in Germany.

[vk2gwk]

You should have been a detective, I missed that bit of subtlety! :rolleyes:

I already wondered why you did not go on on that one....

BTW I put the "outside" shot (http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4001/4364547898_ddcba063b8_o.jpg) on Flickr. Nice to see that you can recognise the inside shot easily when looking at the church from the outside.

[sparkin]

Well done, Sean and over to you!

Thanks - good WAIN !

Here's a fresh one, but I'm off to bed in a minute so there may not be any response until the morning.

[Sir Plug]

U.S?

[Sir Plug]

Somewhere on a Uni. Campus?

[BmanH]

Kentucky?

[sparkin]

Sorry for the dead time ...

U.S?

No.

Somewhere on a Uni. Campus?

No.

Kentucky?

No.

[BmanH]

Any of the Americas?

[sparkin]

Any of the Americas?

None of them.

[BmanH]

Europe?

[glhs509]

Osaka?

[sparkin]

Europe?

Nope.

Osaka?

Yes.

[BmanH]

Is it a museum or hotel?

[Roy Mathers]

Is it the Hilton?

[sparkin]

Is it a museum or hotel?

Is it the Hilton?

None of those.

[Roy Mathers]

Part of Osaka station?

[sparkin]

Part of Osaka station?

Not part of any station, but buses and taxis do pull up out front.

[BmanH]

Is it a government (local, city, municipality, federal) building?

[sparkin]

Is it a government (local, city, municipality, federal) building?

Not to my knowledge, although the city may have a stake in it.

[BmanH]

Is it a shopping center/mall?

[sparkin]

Is it a shopping center/mall?

No.

[vk2gwk]

Osaka Airport?

[sparkin]

Osaka Airport?

Not an airport.

My picture is taken from quite a different angle than any of the pictures I've found of it on the web. Nevertheless, it is recognizable.

[vk2gwk]

Osaka Convention Center.

With thanks to Ken (who knew, I guess :) ) it took me ten minutes.

That's right. It's probably better known as the "Grand Cube Osaka". Over to you Henk (again !).

[vk2gwk]

After this one I'll take it easy for a while.... :)

WAIN ?

[sparkin]

Is it the ceiling of an auditorium ?

[BmanH]

Australia?

[vk2gwk]

Is it the ceiling of an auditorium ?

Not an "auditorium" in the strict sense but - yes - a place where people sit down to listen - amongst other things.

[vk2gwk]

Australia?

It is not in Australia, Berman.

[BmanH]

Europe?

[vk2gwk]

Europe?

Yes.

[BmanH]

Is a concert hall or theater then?

[vk2gwk]

Is a concert hall or theater then?

No.

[BmanH]

Netherlands?

[vk2gwk]

Netherlands?
No.

[BmanH]

Germany?

[glhs509]

Helsinki?

[sparkin]

Helsinki?

Looks very promising there Ken !

[BmanH]

Damn. So Ken, have you been actually been to the Church of Dwayne Johnson or did you just search a whole bunch of ceilings in Europe?

[vk2gwk]

Germany?
No.

Helsinki
Yes, But where?

[vk2gwk]

Damn. So Ken, have you been actually been to the Church of Dwayne Johnson or did you just search a whole bunch of ceilings in Europe?

Dwayne Johnson???

[BmanH]

Dwayne Johnson???

Dwayne Johnson is an American actor and former wrestler known as "The Rock". So I am implying it is the Church of the Rock aka Temppeliaukio Kirkko. That joke was meant for Ken as I don't think Dwayne Johnson is famous outside of the US.

[glhs509]

Dwayne Johnson???
Henk, he is a [ex?] popular wrestler with a nickname that goes along with the name of your WAIN...

And no BmanH, I haven't been to Helsinki yet and didn't search all the ceilings in Europe either (only the ones near the Baltics ;))

[vk2gwk]

Never heard about the guy... Thanks for this "trivial persuit" tidbit :)

It is indeed the ceiling of the Rock Church in Helsinki. There is an amazing number of images of this church and its ceiling in the internet... :)
As Berman actually named the church - in a roundabout way - I think it should go to him!

[BmanH]

I certainly had some help with Ken pointing a BIG arrow at Helsinki.

Here goes mine... WAIN?

[aebrown]

In the US?

[BmanH]

In the US?

Yes

[Kendoway]

East of the Mississippi?

[vk2gwk]

Yes

North East US

Yes

[vk2gwk]

New Jersey?

[BmanH]

New Jersey?

Not New Jersey.

[vk2gwk]

Pennsylvania?

[sparkin]

Never heard about the guy...

Keep it that way Henk, you're not missing much!

[Kendoway]

NYC?

[BmanH]

Pennsylvania?

Nope.

NYC?

Nope.

[sparkin]

Boston area ?

[BmanH]

Keep it that way Henk, you're not missing much!

You mean you didn't enjoy his classics like Scorpion King, The Gameplan, and Tooth Fairy?

[BmanH]

Boston area ?

Not in Boston... or Massachusetts.

[aebrown]

DC?

[Heath]

Is it a theater or convention center?

[vk2gwk]

I think this one is a bit fishy..... :)

[BmanH]

DC?

Not DC.

Is it a theater or convention center?

Nope.

I think this one is a bit fishy..... :)

Perhaps... care to elaborate?:grin:

[vk2gwk]

Not DC.

Perhaps... care to elaborate?:grin:

And it is in Baltimore... (but I am lazy today :) )

[Heath]

That is why I recognized the building.

I really enjoy this thread although sleep and work seem to get in the way.

[Sir Plug]

Yep, I've found it but am also at work, so can't post another.......

[Sir Plug]

and what's wrong with the fine acting talent, that is The Rock??....;-)

[sparkin]

and what's wrong with the fine acting talent, that is The Rock??....;-)

Shurely shome mishtake ? -Ed.

[vk2gwk]

and what's wrong with the fine acting talent, that is The Rock??....;-)

May be he'll end up in politics - like some of his mates - and then I might hear more about him :)

[BmanH]

And it is in Baltimore... (but I am lazy today :) )

Hahaha. We all need a break from WAIN every now and then.

Sleep? Who needs that?

[Kendoway]

The re-make of "Walking Tall" wasn't half bad.

I'd like to see him do a straight up dramatic role though.

[sparkin]

And it is in Baltimore... (but I am lazy today :) )

I reckon Roy's either asleep or ogling G&N, so you could sneak in a forbidden "open to the next taker". ;) :lol:

[sparkin]

Well he can't do that Chris - didn't he just "come out" ? (Not that there's anything wrong with that!) :D:D

[vk2gwk]

I reckon Roy's either asleep or ogling G&N, so you could sneak in a forbidden "open to the next taker". ;) :lol:

More likely asleep and dreaming about G&N.....

I thought I was already stating the obvious. Please, anyone with a new WAIN care to complete this WAIN with (or without) the hints already there?

[sparkin]

Roy's gonna kill us when he reads this. Goodnight all.

[Sir Plug]

May be he'll end up in politics - like some of his mates - and then I might hear more about him :)


Let's hope not!

[Sir Plug]

So, have we established it's the National Aquarium at Baltimore??

[Sir Plug]

Hahaha. We all need a break from WAIN every now and then.



Sleep? Who needs that?


Where's Berman.......asleep??:lol:

[BmanH]

So, have we established it's the National Aquarium at Baltimore??

We have now! All yours, Paul!

Where's Berman.......asleep??:lol:

Actually, I did fall asleep for a moment... while watching the Olympics.

[Roy Mathers]

I reckon Roy's either asleep or ogling G&N, so you could sneak in a forbidden "open to the next taker". ;) :lol:

I've already ogled G & N and I'm currently lurking here on the sidelines;)

[Roy Mathers]

Roy's gonna kill us when he reads this. Goodnight all.

I notice that you are still a British citizen, so I'll forgive any temporary madness.

[sparkin]

I notice that you are still a British citizen, so I'll forgive any temporary madness.

It's not temporary!

[Sir Plug]

Apologies for the quality, it's an old 1.3meg P&S,

So, WAIN........

North....

West of Ilfracombe?

[Sir Plug]

No, not west.....

[Roy Mathers]

It's actually Ilfracombe harbour!

[Sir Plug]

Wondered how you'd picked Ilfracombe as a start point, without realising it was the WAIN!.

Over to you..........

[Roy Mathers]

Mischievousness I suppose! Another will be along shortly.

[Roy Mathers]

Sorry for the delay - I had to go out. Here's my next one.
