[sparkin]

I'm mightily impressed Sean - how did you get that so quickly?

I Googled "metal man sculpture england", and a couple of screens down there was a picture of just the head. The url seems to be partly broken, but it brings up the picture. Details were embedded in the image. I looked for other pictures of it but came up blank.

[NigelD]

Its the only picture I could find of it as well.

[sparkin]

Thanks Ken - total fluke on my part!

Back to the scanner, back in a few ...

[sparkin]

Probably a quick one ...

[BmanH]

I found a picture and it says it's a pueblo in New Mexico but nothing more. Is it a pueblo in New Mexico?

[vk2gwk]

Then you did not look hard enough, Berman......
Coronado National Monument on the Rio Grande River with it ruins of an ancient Kuaua Pueblo village and restored underground kiva with murals on the wall.
That is what is says next to the picture when I Google..... :)

[sparkin]

Henk's right.

[vk2gwk]

Henk's right.
Thanks Sean, But I am off to bed shortly. So if someone else wants to post a new one... feel free! If I do not see anything posted when I get up I'll get one going.

[BmanH]

Then you did not look hard enough, Berman......

That is what is says next to the picture when I Google..... :)

I guess I didn't put in the right search terms and got dizzy with all the images on google search.

[Roy Mathers]

I'll step in, if I may, with this one -

[BmanH]

UK?

[tomd]

Is this considered a bell tower?

[Roy Mathers]

[BmanH]

Is it a museum?

[vk2gwk]

No.

[BmanH]

Government building?

[vk2gwk]

[Roy Mathers]

[vk2gwk]

Horse Guards Citadel - Westminster?

[Roy Mathers]

That's not quite right I'm afraid Henk.

[vk2gwk]

That's not quite right I'm afraid Henk.
I could swear this is on Horse Gard Parade..... Am I worng about that?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/98587546@N00/4793631061/

Edit... that is St James and not Westminster.... :)

[Roy Mathers]

No, you're not wrong - but that's not its name!

[vk2gwk]

No, you're not wrong - but that's not its name!
I think the official name is Admirality Citadel. It was one of the bunkers built during WWII from where the top brass directed the war.

[Roy Mathers]

That's the one! Its name was under the picture in the link you posted! :)

[vk2gwk]

Thanks Roy - and good night! I should have left it to someone else as I'll be away again for most of the day .... So please feel free!

[vk2gwk]

Well, as no one has posted yet.... Here is a new WAIN ???

Ok Ken - if your answer is confirmed, that's the best one guess answer I have seen. Especially on something as obscure as that shot.

[glhs509]

Well, it's not really obscure as it is unique, hence easier to find :D

Should have one up shortly...

[sparkin]

They're separated by a few thousand miles and approaching 20 years in time! I was surprised that the mural is still up, but it seems to be, and there's many (far better) pictures of it on the web.

Ah yes - I expect you're right.

Agreed. Get the hell outta Dodge Monty.

Maybe tommorrow -- looks like it may miss us (unless it shifts westward yet again).

No.
Yes I hope Monty gets safely through this one....


Thanks for the thoughts guys! I don't really expect more than 40-50mph winds and big waves where I am.

[sparkin]

Were you in NC for Fran and Floyd ?

We had trees with four-foot-plus diameter trunks toppled in our back yard by Fran when we lived in Durham.

I hope Earl goes easy on you.

[BmanH]

Ok Ken - if your answer is confirmed, that's the best one guess answer I have seen. Especially on something as obscure as that shot.

I think we need an acronym for this.
How about :

OGDO - one guess dead on
FARO - first answer right on
OGCA- one guess correct answer

What do you guys think?

[sparkin]

Is the WAIN in the US?

Yes.

[vk2gwk]

A few thousand miles from the Rio Grande... East of the Mississppi? KY maybe?

Sorry Henk, I misunderstood your last note. It's a few thousand miles from Oxford MS where the days of the week were scrawled on the wall. (I think my brain is full, or more likely, leaking.)

This wain is west of the Rio Grande (and of the Pecos :) ).
