Off to bed in a couple of minutes - not feeling brilliant. Will wait 5 for last takers this evening.

[Roy Mathers]

Cheers, Sean. Waiting for the Kiwi Telecom to connect my broadband, could be a while, so the logging in bit is more than a little sporadic! I will be back to normal very soon.......Oh , and New Zealand is as beautiful as I remember and rather warm for a 'Midlands' Brit!

JA's Photography Studio in Tennessee?

[BmanH]

Now that I've gotten that one out, is it in Tennessee?

[jacuff]

JA's Photography Studio in Tennessee?

No. Neither belongs to JA or in Tennessee.

[sparkin]

Is the JA sign real, or is it something you added to cover up what was on the sign ?

[sparkin]

Is that a washing machine out front ?

All it needs is a bass boat and a rotting truck and it could be my brother-in-laws place! :lol:

[jacuff]

Is the JA sign real, or is it something you added to cover up what was on the sign ?

It is one of my watermark brushes. The sign normally has the name of this place.

[BmanH]

Is that a washing machine out front ?

All it needs is a bass boat and a rotting truck and it could be my brother-in-laws place! :lol:

hahaha. Let's turn this into the super macro guessing game too. Is it a container for ice?

[jacuff]

Nope, not a washing machine... unless only the cold cycle works on it. ;)

I'm impressed Berman!

The few corroboratives I've seen all had a pair of small windows (or vents ?) either side of the big green sign, but it sure looks right.

[BmanH]

That's it. The Old Alvarado Station in Alvarado, VA. Over to you.

Thanks, Justin. I just couldn't help myself but to figure this one out. However, I will have to do the forbidden and leave it open to the first taker!:shock:

Thanks Sean! I had no idea where to start with what the building was so I figured I'd just look at flickr pics of towns near the border...

Belem dockside along the Amazone?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/23478442@N04/3249459025/

[Narwhal]

It is technically NOT the Amazon River but it IS the Belem waterfront; So you are correct, of course.

But I am frustrated that so many people that post on Flicker don't bother to give the specific names of places that the shoot.

In this case it is "Estacao das Docas", one of many interesting places along the more than 10km of the Belem waterfront.

There was another one on Flickr that actually mentioned the "Estacao das Docas". But as I already had written "dockside" I thought that would be a rough translation of that name and close enough anyway. :)
I'll post a new one shortly.

[vk2gwk]

Here is the new WAIN...?

No need, you are working with what you find... I'm just being picky on a Sunday evenning.

I am more interested in what you have ready for us to find...

[Narwhal]

Is this an example of "British Humo(u)r"?

North.

No.

[BmanH]

Is it in a park or garden?

[Sir Plug]

Further North or West of Newcastle?

[vk2gwk]

Is it in a park or garden?

Not an official park or garden but in the garden of a place tourists tend to visit.

Further North or West of Newcastle?

Yes, less than 100 km North and West from Newcastle.

I actually shot this last Saturday.... :)

[Sir Plug]

Near Dubbo?

[Sir Plug]

Or is this near the Bathurst Track??

[vk2gwk]

Near Dubbo.
Or is this near the Bathurst Track??

If you look on the map/Google Earth you can see that both Dubbo and Bathhurst are far more than 100km from Newcastle (and Bathurst is SW)

So the answer is NO. :)

[Sir Plug]

Just quick guesses, the sun is going down over Auckland.............:)

[BmanH]

Between Newcastle and Singleton?

[vk2gwk]

Between Newcastle and Singleton?
Yes.

[vk2gwk]

I am off to bed... see you tomorrow!

Hmmm... So this is what I found with this search query in flickr - "stormtrooper stilts (http://www.flickr.com/search/?s=int&ss=1&w=all&q=stormtrooper+stilts&m=text)"

[vk2gwk]

Hmmm... So this is what I found with this search query in flickr - "stormtrooper stilts (http://www.flickr.com/search/?s=int&ss=1&w=all&q=stormtrooper+stilts&m=text)"

I think there is no easy way to narrow down the winery where this sculpture (and one quite similar) is standing: De Iuliis Winery, Broke Road, Pokolbin (with an art Gallery named Butterfly and an excellent restaurant "Cracked Pepper").

Therefore... over to you!

[BmanH]

Yea, I tried to narrow it down for a little while. Then I decided to post it on here hoping someone else would do the dirty work from that point on. I just found it funny how I wasn't the only one who thought it looked like a stormtrooper on stilts. Although, it actually looks more like a Boba Fett.

You could have left it for a while since we like the challenge.

It's a large island, Fraser Island. But as there are no other shipwrecks on a beach there that I know of, you got it! It's the Maheno wreck.
