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

[Roy Mathers]

Sure...and it annoys me to death when I see ads, correspondence, etc. with incorrect usage...I was merely bringing up the point, presuming that Freud's English would be sub par based on his background...

The ironic thing is that I'm willing to bet that he spoke (or wrote) English better than many natives!

[Roy Mathers]

It's a sorry day on WAIN, when the possibility of discussing phallic symbols (while waiting for Derek) is hijacked by a possessive pronoun lesson. :p

It's all Derek's fault!

[DDCSD]

Sorry guys! Got caught up this morning!


Well, I'm certainly not going to try and guess which one this is (not with 1446 of them) :)

Nor me!:D

I assure you there is something unique about this one.


Is it east of Antwerp?

Going west would take less time...


Eleven more questions and we would have the answer. Same theory as is used frequently here to zero in on what it's not.

Is it in the first half of marker numbers between 1 & 1446 ?
Then the same question for the remaining 723, 361, 180, 90, 45, 22, 11, 5, 2 and bingo.

Guess any word in the dictionary using the same method in about 17 questions or less.

Exactly what I was thinking, it's difficult but not impossible. We have to assume that this one has a kilometer marking on it. So, Derek, are you still with us?

There is not km marking on this one. I have not removed or blurred anything on it.


I was thinking that we could discuss the primitive artistic fertility aspects of this stone obelisk, and what Sigmund Freud would have deduced from it's shape and size.

Or we could guess the numbers...


:rolleyes:

:lol:

Or...it may say "Replica...made in the U.S.A." then we've wasted our 11 questions ;)

Nonetheless, I'll start with one of the larger towns along the route (judging by the building size in the background)... Chartres?

Not in Chartres, and not made in the USA...

That's a good point, it wouldn't be impossible to have a replica on a military base. I'll ask is this in the US?

Yes, it is in the USA!

That's a good point - Derek hasn't actually confirmed what country it's in! Everyone is assuming that it's in France, but it may not be (although it's very likely).

I was wondering if anyone was going ot figure this out without me tossing out hints!

Freud was too high to spell anything :-)

I'll try a random dart at 1147 Derek.

Obviously not 1147.

It's all Derek's fault!


It is always my fault, I'm used to it now!

:lol:


Now you guys can get back to work on the WAIN!

[RandallC]

Hamilton, MA?

[DDCSD]

Hamilton, MA?


Nope.

[RandallC]

Nope.

Hmmmm. But I did find one there (for future reference):
http://www.hamiltonma.gov/Pages/HamiltonMA_WebDocs/abouthist

Surprising that these are all over the place. I guess it would speed things along if we actually start asking questions about where it is :)

[breal101]

Ft. Bragg, NC?

[DDCSD]

Hmmmm. But I did find one there (for future reference):
http://www.hamiltonma.gov/Pages/HamiltonMA_WebDocs/abouthist

Surprising that these are all over the place. I guess it would speed things along if we actually start asking questions about where it is :)

Wow, I had no idea there were many of them in the US. I had trouble even locating this one when looking for a verifying image.


Ft. Bragg, NC?

Not there.

[RandallC]

Does the location have anything to do with George Patton?

[DDCSD]

Does the location have anything to do with George Patton?


Not that I am aware of. I can't find anything that indicates that.

[jacuff]

East of the Mississippi?

[DDCSD]

East of the Mississippi?

Yes.

[glhs509]

Is it the one

[Roy Mathers]

Jacksonville?

[DDCSD]

Is it the one


I am the one.

:lol:


I think you left something off Ken!

[DDCSD]

Jacksonville?


It is in Jacksonville.

Looking for the area of Jacksonville though. Jacksonville is a huge city.

Or a verifying image would be fine.

[breal101]

Is it on a military base? The one thing the military doesn't usually lack is paint or idle hands to apply it. This one appears a bit weathered.

[Roy Mathers]

This marker is located just east of Hogan Street and north of W Indendent Drive in Sister Cities Plaza.

Good work Roy! Where did you find it at?

Here's what it says on the side.

The opposite side says the same thing in French.

Wow, impressive find Roy.

I now know where it is -- and I still can't find it :)

[Roy Mathers]

Good work Roy! Where did you find it at?




The WAINers friend - Google.

[tomd]

this was a fun WAIN.

[DDCSD]

A google image search of "liberte jacksonville" will come up with this marker as the first hit, from this page.

It is the fifth from the bottom.

Here is the marker in street view:

[DDCSD]

this was a fun WAIN.


I've been holding off on it, because I had trouble finding a match even though I knew exactly where it was.

I honestly didn't realize there was 1400+ of them lining the Liberty Road!

[RandallC]

One of the fun things about WAIN is what you learn while searching. That was a good one.

[DDCSD]

I agree, I learned a lot from this one.

[tomd]

I've learned never to assume anything.

[DDCSD]

I've learned never to assume anything.


:lol:

[Roy Mathers]

Ok folks, what's the name of this place?

[monty28428]

India ?

[Roy Mathers]

No Monty.

[glhs509]

I am the one.

Yes Ken.

[glhs509]

Samutsakorn?

[DDCSD]

LOL...darn mobile browser...


Did you have it Ken?

[glhs509]

Did you have it Ken?
Nah...was going to guess Arlington, around the Patton Circle, but read your post about not pertaining to Patton a little late...

[Roy Mathers]

Samutsakorn?

No.

[glhs509]

Samut Prakan?

[Roy Mathers]

That's close enough - over to you Ken.

[glhs509]

You sure Roy? It's a fairly large region...(note the apostrophe usage :D)

[Roy Mathers]

Yes, it's fine Ken - you deserve it for putting the apostrophe in the right place:)

[glhs509]

Thanks, but we're heading out to enjoy the last bit of summer...open to whomever wishes...

[Kendoway]

Yes, it's fine Ken - you deserve it for putting the apostrophe in the right place

I'll add this to my trophy shelf :D

LMAO!!

[tonylong]

Chris, is that west of the Mississippi:)?

[tomd]

Chris, is that west of the Mississippi:)?

;) west of Austria? :lol:

[Kendoway]

I was tempted to add a petroglyph to the trophy, but just didn't have time...

[monty28428]

Ok how about this one..

WAIN ?

[RandallC]

I actually recognize this one :). I was there not that long ago, and have an almost identical photo.

[monty28428]

[Stevie@JC]

Universal Studios ?

[monty28428]

No sir.

[DDCSD]

[DDCSD]

Errr.... Looks like they re-named it.....


Disney's Hollywood Studios?

[monty28428]

Well I guess I'll have to give it to you Derek :-) It was called that in 1989 but now it is now called Hollywood Studios!

[monty28428]

LOL -- That's it over to you Derek!

[DDCSD]

Well I guess I'll have to give it to you Derek :-) It was called that in 1989 but now it is now called Hollywood Studios!


It was called that in 2008!!! :lol::lol:

[monty28428]

:-) Wiki didn't say when they renamed it!

[DDCSD]

:-) Wiki didn't say when they renamed it!


From Wiki:


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney%27s_Hollywood_Studios#Name_change
Name change


On August 9 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_9), 2007 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007), Walt Disney World President Meg Crofton (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meg_Crofton) announced that the theme park's name would be changed to Disney's Hollywood Studios in January 2008.[12] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney%27s_Hollywood_Studios#cite_note-wdwnews.com-11) In announcing the name change, Crofton said, "the new name reflects how the park has grown from representing the golden age of movies to a celebration of the new entertainment that today's Hollywood has to offer—in music, television, movies and theater." [13] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney%27s_Hollywood_Studios#cite_note-cfnews13.com-12)
The Florida resort later announced that the new name would be effective January 7 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_7), 2008 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008), adding that it would take several more months to change all affected signage.

Here we go again.

WAIN?

Wow, that turned out kinda dark and dreary.

Yup, in SD. It was pretty mild that though. :lol:

Good work Ken! I figured this one might go fairly quickly.

Over to you.

Nope.

This is the colors of Ireland. Would it be there?

[DDCSD]

[jacuff]

No, not in Ireland.

That's it, I think! I can't be certain if this was the one that was disassembled or if it is the one that is still there. Anyways... over to you.

[MSJGD]

I will be busy all day tomorrow.

So it’s open to the first to post.

[DDCSD]

DOH!!!

I thought it looked familiar! I was stationed in Pensacola for 7 months...

[Roy Mathers]

Here's relatively easy one to keep things moving.

[glhs509]

Roy, are you recycling WAINs?

[tomd]

Roy, are you recycling WAINs?
I must have missed this one.

Is this in the US?

[Kendoway]

UK?

[glhs509]

I must have missed this one.
Well if you can guess who's coming to dinner, you should be able to figure it out...

[Roy Mathers]

Roy, are you recycling WAINs?

I wasn't aware that I'd used this before.

I must have missed this one.

Is this in the US?

No.

UK?

No.

[jacuff]

Switzerland?

[Roy Mathers]

No.

[DDCSD]

I recognize it as well...

[RandallC]

I recognize it as well...
I didn't recognize it. But figured it out from Ken's clue.

[bahelmer]

Yes, Ken's clue was quite helpful...

[MSJGD]

Canada?

[MSJGD]

Look like it is on a Great Lake

[Darsk47]

Somewhere in Sydney Harbour?

[tonylong]

Ah yes, Darcy, the clue which passed me by of who's coming to dinner -- I bet you've got it!

[Darsk47]

Ah yes, Darcy, the clue which passed me by of who's coming to dinner -- I bet you've got it!

Tough to pinpoint tho'....I just did google streetview and couldn't find the angle from where the shot was taken.....assuming Roy was in a boat and in Sydney Harbour....look what an assuming mess I got into on Derek's km marker !!:oops:

[monty28428]

Well you can go here (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showpost.php?p=6032999&postcount=8969) to verify it Darcy :-)

[Darsk47]

Well you can go here (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showpost.php?p=6032999&postcount=8969) to verify it Darcy :-)
Farm Cove Harbour Maybe ?? ;) Thanks Monty.

Open to the first taker.......

[DDCSD]

I think Roy's on a 13 month Wain cycle! ;)

[Roy Mathers]

Canada?

Look like it is on a Great Lake

No to both of those.

[Roy Mathers]

Somewhere in Sydney Harbour?

That's correct Darcy - Sydney Harbour it is. Over to you.

[Roy Mathers]

Well you can go here (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showpost.php?p=6032999&postcount=8969) to verify it Darcy :-)

I think Roy's on a 13 month Wain cycle! ;)

I'm sorry folks, I didn't realise that I'd posted it before - but you must be very bored to have the patience and inclination to trawl back through all the past posts just to find it!:D

[monty28428]

LOL -- Well it's not that hard Roy, if you search the Competitions forum for posts with a search term of sydney harbour - it's the third choice :-)

You post here a lot so I'm surprised you don't double post more often :-)

[Roy Mathers]

I tried that Monty, and it wasn't until about the sixth page that I found it - and I knew when it was!

[monty28428]

Sounds like you searched all of POTN - not just the competitions forum...

[Roy Mathers]

Perhaps I'm not au fait enough with the search facilities. I was indeed searching the whole forum! However, when I searched the Competitions forum only, it gave me the thread that it appeared in, and not the exact page - so I still had to look the thread to find the pic. Is that right?

[monty28428]

Check "Show posts" instead of "Show threads" under the search this forum dropdown and that should do it Roy!

[Roy Mathers]

Bingo! Thanks Monty.

[DDCSD]

I'm sorry folks, I didn't realise that I'd posted it before - but you must be very bored to have the patience and inclination to trawl back through all the past posts just to find it!:D


I didn't go back and look, but when I saw it I just knew I had seen it. Ken confirmed my suspicions. :lol:

[bahelmer]

Darcy left it open to first taker, right?

Here is one. A new one, I hope! A tight crop to hide some clues.

WAIN?

[Roy Mathers]

Is this in Europe?

[DDCSD]

North America?

[Roy Mathers]

Or is it North America trying to be like Europe?:D

[bahelmer]

It is Europe. Europe, not trying to be North America...

[DDCSD]

Or is it North America trying to be like Europe?:D


You can never be too careful these days! ;)

[DDCSD]

West of Antwerp?

[NigelD]

West of Antwerp?
Sounds like Derek's got it....

[DDCSD]

Sounds like Derek's got it....


Huh?

I'm just narrowing it down. I haven't even searched for it yet. :) ;)

[bahelmer]

I knew that question was coming....one moment while I check...

[bahelmer]

East of Antwerp.

[tonylong]

West of Antwerp?

Thanks, Derek -- it's good to know that people are staying on top of the important questions:)!

[RandallC]

South of Geneva?

[bahelmer]

Yes, south of Geneva.

[tonylong]

Is it east of Geneva?

[RandallC]

Monaco?

[glhs509]

North of Pisa?

[bahelmer]

East of Geneva.

Not Monaco.

[bahelmer]

North of Pisa.

[Kendoway]

Is that an urn in the center of the structure? If yes - are someone's remains inside?

[tonylong]

Is it in Italy?

[bahelmer]

It is located in Italy.

[bahelmer]

I am not sure exactly what is hanging at the center of the structure.. I can find photos on the internet, but not a detailed description of the hanging "urn" or whatever it might be.

[Kendoway]

I stand corrected on the urn. That appears to be an ancient ceramic vase for wine (I think).

Is this a winery?

[bahelmer]

It's not a winery.

Again, I don't have many details about the hanging "urn" or "vase". I doubt that there is wine in the hanging vase. But we are in Italy, which offers many famous wines, so maybe there is wine in the vase. The evening I snapped the photo, the locals were celebrating with a local wine...

[RandallC]

Is this a hotel?

[bahelmer]

Not a hotel.
