[RandallC]

Wow. Everyone is on a roll lately. These wains are going fast -- it's hard to keep up.

[Kendoway]

I wish I could claim some elite prowess with my searching abilities - but I simply typed "lighthouse + UK" in the Flickr search box, and it came up on page 1. ;)

Ok, I don't think this will be too hard. WAIN?

Welcome to POTN by the way, and welcome to WAIN (where all the cool kids hang out ;))!

I bought a bottle there in February - hard to miss once you've been there.

I have not posted a picture before - let's hope this works.

I have no idea if this is easy or hard......

[Pete]

True... Let's give it a couple of hours more and see if he returns.

[Roy Mathers]

That seems reasonable.

[tonylong]

That seems reasonable.

Are you feeling lucky? Reasonable? Lucid?

[johneone]

Yes UK -

sorry checked before I went to bed - first chance I've had to get back on

[Kendoway]

Heck of a lot of 3 masted and tall ships on Flickr, but none so far that I can find - that have those 3 distinctive curved white stripes on the bow.

Idle Conversation While We wait For John: Is it my imagination, or does it seem like no women ever play this game? Of course with some handles, you can't tell.

EDIT: Oops posted before refreshing :)

[RandallC]

Yes UK -

HMS Trincomalee - Hartlepool

You got it pete - amazaing how the photo on Wikipedia looks just like mine - taken from the same angle

[Pete]

Thanks John. It took a while to get there, but the fact it had guns was a help, as was the blurred out sign (I guessed the first word was "HMS"). From there, it was just a matter of trawling through search results until I got it.

[Pete]

Here you go. Hopefully a little harder than my last attempt...

You're right. That's not it :D

[tonylong]

Arizona?

[Pete]

It does look like a caldera lake though...

[tonylong]

Well, then, is this associated with some type of volcanic activity?

[tonylong]

Is it associated with mining activity?

[tonylong]

Is there a hot springs in there?

[RandallC]

Arizona?
No

It does look like a caldera lake though...

[RandallC]

And, if not the little sliver of Texas, Hawaii?
Yes. Hawaii!

[Kendoway]

Man, am I stupid - I've been there!

It's the Kilauea Caldera.

[tonylong]

Heh! I do all the grunt work again, someone else gets the accolades:)!

[RandallC]

Man, am I stupid - I've been there!

It's the Kilauea Caldera.Exactly right! Kilauea Caldera at Volcano National park.

Over to you, Chris.

[Kendoway]

Heh! I do all the grunt work again, someone else gets the accolades!

It's funny, we all seem to forget that Hawaii is a state - and 6% of American's don't know it's a state at ALL (I read that recently as part of the Obama Birth controversy). Crazy :p

[Kendoway]

Sorry lads, nothing warmed up in the bullpen - open to the first taker.

Anyone notice the comment I made before: How come no gals ever seem to post here? We keep the place clean, always take out the empty beer bottles, keep our hair combed, bath regularly - etc.

Or is just my imagination?

[RandallC]

It's funny, we all seem to forget that Hawaii is a state - and 6% of American's don't know it's a state at ALL (I read that recently as part of the Obama Birth controversy). Crazy :pYeah, no one thinks about Hawaii. Of course, Volcano National Park doesn't really look like the typical tropical Hawaii photos, so I'm sure that didn't help.

[Kendoway]

Yeah, no one thinks about Hawaii. Of course, Volcano National Park doesn't really look like the typical tropical Hawaii photos, so I'm sure that didn't help.

You did a splendid job of deceiving us, due to our own stupidity :D

[RandallC]

Anyone notice the comment I made before: How come no gals ever seem to post here? We keep the place clean, always take out the empty beer bottles, keep our hair combed, bath regularly - etc.

Or is just my imagination? I think you're right. Maybe they're intimidated by our rapier wit ;)

[monty28428]

:-) We've had a few lady wainers - I think Roy runs them off rather quickly though ;-)

[DDCSD]

They're working or watching the kids while we play silly internet picture games.



We had a gal names Tracy that played quite a bit last year, but I think I scared her off with my chiesa.
