Is Mexico considered Central or Southern??
Actually neither. Central America is Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. Mexico is just considered North American, along with the US and Canada. Although, technically, Central America is still North America.

Bolivia or south of?
No, not Bolivia or south of it.

Edit: And Henk swoops in for the kill!
Yeah, that's the same one in João Pessoa.

[Bloodbean]

Looks like Henk got it!

[BmanH]

Yeah, that's the same one in João Pessoa.

I was actually referring to the church Troy mentioned but since Henk posted his a few seconds before mine it looked like I was referring to his post. I guess I'll have to save my non-waterfall WAIN for next time!

The Murray Princess?

[vk2gwk]

Is this in Victoria, Australia?
No, not in Victoria.

The Murray Princess?

It is the Murray Princess. But where.... ?

[BmanH]

It is the Murray Princess. But where.... ?

On the Murray River somewhere?

Edit: Mannum, SA?

[vk2gwk]

On the Murray River somewhere?

Yes - but the place in the photo has some special significance in relation to the Murray Princess - otherwise I would not be asking for the "where".

[Roy Mathers]

Younghusband?

[BmanH]

See Edit ^^ Dunno if Mannum is what you're looking for.

[Roy Mathers]

Renmark?

[vk2gwk]

Younghusband? Is that on the Murray River, Roy?

See Edit ^^ Dunno if Mannum is what you're looking for.

Mannum is what I was looking for. It is the "home port" for the boat where it starts and ends its (very enjoyable) cruises.

I'll make my next one a bit harder... :) Well done, Berman. Over to you.

[BmanH]

Thanks Henk. Certainly looks like a great cruise. It looks like they do cruises all over Oz.

Here goes the next WAIN.

[sparkin]

You've all been busy today !

Berman, is this in Mexico - it looks a bit like a place I've stayed in.

[DDCSD]

I'm not sure where it is, but I sure wish I was there!

[vk2gwk]

You've all been busy today !

Berman, is this in Mexico - it looks a bit like a place I've stayed in.

These places all look the same Sean. I could have sworn it is a place on Lanzarothe (Canary Islands) :)

[BmanH]

You've all been busy today !

Berman, is this in Mexico - it looks a bit like a place I've stayed in.

It is indeed in Mexico.

I'm not sure where it is, but I sure wish I was there!

I wish I was back there too. :cry:

It is not a private residence.
Is the boat house in the Netherlands ?

No it is not in the Netherlands and as far as I know it is not a boat house.

In Australia?

Yes in Australia.

[DDCSD]

Is it a restaurant?

[vk2gwk]

Is it a restaurant?

Yes. Edit: Actually to be accurate: it is two restaurants in one building.

[vk2gwk]

Everybody seem to be asleep or away.... have not seen a new guess in 5 hours. I'll be back tomorrow morning (about 19:00 UTC). In the meantime .... keep googling restaurants in Australia...Bon apetit! :)

[Roy Mathers]

One of the restaurants must be the Red Ochre ...

http://www.lifestylefood.com.au/restaurants/red-ochre

Correct! Well done, Sean. I was afraid this one would be too hard without any shots of this place on Flickr and only one or two in the restaurant guides... :) But it shows up well on Google Earth too. :).
Red Ochre seems to be one of the best places to eat in Adelaide. Pity I did not get a chance to sample that. Only saw it from a tour boat.
Over to you.

[sparkin]

I was afraid this one would be too hard without any shots of this place on Flickr

Thanks Henk.

I have a great one that I can't post because I'm still trying to find a corroborating picture.

In the meantime, here's a different one ... WAIN ?

[vk2gwk]

USA? And if so indigenous culture?

[sparkin]

USA? And if so indigenous culture?

Not US.

[vk2gwk]

South America? or Asia?

[sparkin]

Asia.

Looks like it's just you and me Henk.

[vk2gwk]

Is this related to Buddhism?

(Yes I am looking for support - but nobody seems to be home.... :( )

[BmanH]

Asia.

Looks like it's just you and me Henk.

And me for the moment. Is it on an island nation?

Yes.

Pyramid of Jizo Bodhisattvas in Koya-cho, Japan?

You got it!

[vk2gwk]

Pyramid of Jizo Bodhisattvas in Koya-cho, Japan?

Never thought of it as a pyramid... :) Well done Berman!

[BmanH]

Thanks fellas. Here goes another one. WAIN?

[sparkin]

Never thought of it as a pyramid... :) Well done Berman!

Judicious cropping. :D:D

[sparkin]

Is there water falling from the roof of that cave ?

I thought that was verboten!

[BmanH]

Judicious cropping. :D:D

Haha. Actually, my search query was "japan pyramid" and it came up on the first page.

Is there water falling from the roof of that cave ?

I thought that was verboten!

There is water falling but it is not a waterfall! I can change this WAIN to a waterfall one if you'd like? :cool:

[vk2gwk]

Is this in the US, Berman?

EDIT: Yes, but not mainland US... :)

[BmanH]

Is this in the US, Berman?

Yes it is.

[vk2gwk]

Yes it is.

Did you notice the edit, Berman? (I added that just after you posted your reply - which I had not yet read.)

[BmanH]

Nope. Not mainland US.

[vk2gwk]

Any other takers searching at the moment?

[Narwhal]

is it in Hawaii

[vk2gwk]

Although Berman should confirm it, I am pretty sure you are right... :)

Berman: did they actually use your photo in that promotion? It looks pretty much the same. I found another one on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/doctor-a/2731526395/

[Narwhal]

sorry for delay, the internet connection is very ustable here

Go to it! WAIN!

[Narwhal]

I see there are only a few people on line right no ...

I have to go to bed for a few ahours so please ask your intitila question so that you might have a little more to chew on

[BmanH]

Berman: did they actually use your photo in that promotion? It looks pretty much the same. I found another one on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/doctor-a/2731526395/

That would be flattering but they did not. If they did then I wanna see some $$$!! In fact, the photo I posted isn't public. It's from a personal photo gallery.

A lot of shots of this lava tube are similar because there is only one entrance and one walkway to that entrance. The only difference would be the height of the person taking the photo. :)

[vk2gwk]

Is this in Brasil?

[Narwhal]

Surprise, surprise, yes

[Narwhal]

I am going to sign off in 2 minutes get any question in now

Back in about 3 hours

[Narwhal]

That's all for now folks...

[BmanH]

Is it in one of Brazil's national parks?

[Narwhal]

Not in National park

[Narwhal]

Q & A period is open. I will be available for about 40 more minutes; then I will begone for most of the day.

[vk2gwk]

Is this a look out point?

[NigelD]

Some kind of eco village?

[Narwhal]

Is this a look out point?


Not a look out point

[Narwhal]

Some kind of eco village?


Eco ---yes ; village --- No

[Narwhal]

Parting Hints:

-thi Place not visible in google satellite view.

- Access to this Place on foot or jungle cammdos with parachutes.

-this Place is north of Belo Horizonte

-Water is clear, fresh and potable

- No electricity

- W/O coordinates and GPS the average person (me for example) probably could not find this Place on his own.

- the name of the municipality that this Place is located in begins with the letter "I"

[vk2gwk]

Is it in the amazone region?

[Narwhal]

I must leave in a couple of minutes. Last call for questions.

[Narwhal]

Is it in the amazone region?

yes

[Narwhal]

Unfortunately, I have to go now. I will be back in abour 8-9 hours.

If you are not sure that you have identified it. you ar probably incorrect.

When you locate this Place it will be obvious.

In my absence, if you have a consensus of a couple of other people that this Place has been correctly identified; Please go ahead with the next round.

[Narwhal]

BYE, BYE

Yup! That looks like the end of the lava tube right before the optional pitch black section where my flashlight battery died....

[vk2gwk]

he town with the "I" in the name: would that be Itaituba ?

[Narwhal]

No it is a much longer name.

I wil be around for a few hours.

[Narwhal]

sounds like there is some history here. I am here just to have some challenging fun.. nothing more.

Is it North ofr South of Manaus? And East or West of Manaus?

[Narwhal]

Is it North ofr South of Manaus? And East or West of Manaus?

North but not much

And east

[vk2gwk]

The town with the I is that Itacoatiara?

[glhs509]

Would this be Jane's Place?

[vk2gwk]

Would this be Jane's Place?

I think you got it, Ken!

[Narwhal]

Parting Hints:




- the name of the municipality that this Place is located in begins with the letter "I"

my apologies: my daughter infoms me that this Place is barely within the Munipality of Manaus; but by less that 5 kilometers. Keep in mind that the Municipality of Manaus is hundreds of kilometers east to west and north to south.

In the response to the North vs South / East vs West question, my reference was the center of the urban area.

[Narwhal]

Would this be Jane's Place?

You are correct. It is Jane's place as in Tarzan's girlfriend.

I hope you enjoyed this one...

[Narwhal]

Do any of you find that there is sometimes a delay of 5 or more minutes in the updating of new postings?

[vk2gwk]

You are correct. It is Jane's place as in Tarzan's girlfriend.

I hope you enjoyed this one...

It was a bit of a struggle, without Roy to help us.... :)

And, yes, sometimes I try to refresh and do not get anything but 1 minute later a new post appears timestamped 5 or more minutes ago.

[Narwhal]

The town with the I is that Itacoatiara?

This is the municipality that I was thinking of but as you see in a prior post it is a moot point and a small wild goose chase. Jane's Place is actually closer to center of Ita (as they call it) than to the center of Manaus.

[glhs509]

You are correct. It is Jane's place as in Tarzan's girlfriend.

I hope you enjoyed this one...
Thanks Jim...don't know if I have the patience anymore for a place like that, although it would be nice to 'disconnect' from the world once in a while. :)

WAIN?

Great WAIN Jim!
