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

[tomd]

Guess the location of the posted picture and WIN
This game is very similar in structure to the super macro guessing game, EXCEPT the photo is opposite in scope. This game requires a post of a landscape/locational style photo.

For example post a picture of a notable bridge, park, etc. Viewers will then guess at the location/identity of the picture. The winner will post the next photo for guessing.

Hints are encouraged to keep interest and the game progressing. Suggested hints may be narrowing in local for example: hemisphere, continent, country, state or providence, city, etc. Or: cold, warm, warmer......

Simple rules:
photo must be taken by you

limit photo size to 1024pixel on the long side max

if no response after 12 hours, game is open for anyone to post a new pic

photos should have a reasonable amount of identifiable content. Avoid pictures of the bottom side of a picnic table.

photos should be from a public location. No way can we guess the location of a picture of the inside of a dog house!

Have fun, keep it light!

It looks like Derek is now offline. After confirming/rejecting my answer, if correct, I will leave it open for someone else to post...

[Roy Mathers]

Looks like its open to the first taker.

[Kendoway]

Hey I like the new digs. Is the bar open yet? If so, I'll have a pint please!

[Roy Mathers]

Well, let me be the first to get the ball rolling in Part 4 -

India ?

[tomd]

US?

[glhs509]

Australia?

[Roy Mathers]

India ?


Yes.

[Roy Mathers]

US?
(just in case)


Not in this case Tom!:)

[Roy Mathers]

Australia?


I think previous answers have taken care of this!

[tonylong]

Yo, everyone, party on.

[Roy Mathers]

Welcome to Part 4 Tony.

[Kendoway]

North of Nagpur?

[Roy Mathers]

Is this the equivalent of 'West of Austria'?:D

The answer to your question is yes.

[tomd]

Is this a display from a permanent museum?

[Roy Mathers]

Yes

[zippy25]

National Museum ,New Delhi?

[Roy Mathers]

I'm afraid not, David.

[zippy25]

The Prince of Wales Museum, in Mumbai India?

[Roy Mathers]

Not that.

[Kendoway]

Wow, a gallery full of arms... how interesting.

^^^^
Since I tried my Roy impression in Game 3, now I'm testing out my Monty impersonation ;)

Sounds like boredom has set in to me :-)

If it were a proper Monty impersonation, you would have guessed it by now:D

[zippy25]

Wow!!

[Kendoway]

Heh. If you use the right search terms you will find an almost 100% identical photo on Flickr, but the young lady who took it, only tagged it with "India". I had to snoop through the rest of her set to figure out where she (and Roy) were. ;)

Taking my lovely wife to dinner for her Birthday. If there are no guesses by my return, I'll let the cat out of the bag.

:p

Lazy wankers.

One of the reasons I love WAIN, is that it fuels my wunderlust.

Never heard of it before, but now I'd give anything to visit the Arms Gallery at the Palace of Jaipur, not to mention the entire grounds. Roy, did you get photos of the big silver urns? If so, please share.

http://www.indiasite.com/rajasthan/jaipur/citypalace.html

If correct, open to the first taker.

[monty28428]

Indeed - it would be great if I see 10% of the places I've seen here!

(P.S. Chris - India shield arrow - first page on flickr)

[Roy Mathers]

You are correct, Chris. It is the City Palace in Jaipur. I did get a picture of the urns, and I'll try and find it.

According to Chris, it's open to the first taker.

[corbie3]

If I may jump in then- what about this one.
Wain?

Close enough I think! Bilbao it is. That must be one of the quickest wains...
Over to you.

[Roy Mathers]

Well done Justin - very speedy!

[jacuff]

Thanks, I'm sure there have been quicker WAINS.

[Roy Mathers]

That's a very interesting barn with JA on the side:D

[Roy Mathers]

I forgot to ask - US? If so, Tennessee?

[jacuff]

That's a very interesting barn with JA on the side:D
Yep... unlike Bob, I leave my mark with a JA... and only digitally. ;)


I forgot to ask - US? If so, Tennessee?
Yes to both, US and Tennessee.

[tomd]

Messer Cantilever Barn, Porters Creek Trail ?

[Roy Mathers]

East Tennessee?

[jacuff]

East Tennessee?
Yeah.

Messer Cantilever Barn, Porters Creek Trail ?
That's right! It is is the John Messer Barn. We were going up the Brushy Mountain trail and this farm is right where the two trails meet. Over to you.

I'm sure I've got a picture of "Bob Was Here", but here's a link to somebody else's photo for those that didn't catch the clue. http://www.flickr.com/photos/editor/3680777940/
(http://www.flickr.com/photos/editor/3680777940/)

[Roy Mathers]

Good one Tom (I don't know anything about 'Bob was here')

[jacuff]

Good one Tom (I don't know anything about 'Bob was here')

He's all over the Smoky Mountains. As far as I know, Bob hasn't visited any other National Parks, or I don't remember seeing any signs.

[Roy Mathers]

I see (but we don't all traipse over the Smoky Mountains:D).

[tomd]

I didn't get the "Bob" clue either. I found it via search for "cantilever barn"

WAIN?

[tonylong]

US? (get that part out of the way)

[Roy Mathers]

99.9% sure to be US. Midwest?

[Roy Mathers]

On second thoughts, those hills and trees don't say midwest to me, so I'll change it - Western US?

[tonylong]

One of the Four Corners states (UT, AZ, CO, NM)?

[Kendoway]

^^^ What Roy means to ask is "West of the Mississippi?" :p

(certainly West of Austria)...

[tomd]

Sorry guys, I've been given a task which means I'll be away from the computer most of today- anyone want to take this one over? Failing that, it could be postponed, or I could just give you the answer.

[corbie3]

I guess there is nobody there...
Answer coming up unless I hear from someone in the next 5 minutes, then open to the first taker.

[corbie3]

This is in the Chateau de Beynac, Dordogne. The stables in the shot are not real stables- they are part of the film set created for the film about Joan of Arc, The Messenger (1999, Luc Besson) though several other mediaeval-set films have been filmed here in the past.
Over to whoever has a pic handy.

[Roy Mathers]

As two hours have passed, I'll keep it going with this -

No again, Tom.
:lol::lol:

[Roy Mathers]

Have you deleted a post Tom?

[corbie3]

Is this in England?

[glhs509]

What's throwing me off is the fact that I don't see a severed hand...

[Roy Mathers]

Is this in England?


Yes.

[Roy Mathers]

What's throwing me off is the fact that I don't see a severed hand...


:confused::confused:

[glhs509]

:confused::confused:
Was this taken in the past two months Roy? Every image I've found shows a hand missing...

[Roy Mathers]

Yes, it was taken in the last two months - and I don't know anything about a missing hand!

[glhs509]

LOL...see for yourself...Here (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2583/3665140563_c2e6b5c5d0_b.jpg) and here (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3373/3536282646_1ac9238a81_b.jpg)

Very interesting - it must have been damaged and then repaired!

[jacuff]

I don't see where it has been asked, but is this in Swaffham?

[tomd]

Very interesting - it must have been damaged and then repaired!

Is there more than one of these carvings in this church?

[Roy Mathers]

I don't see where it has been asked, but is this in Swaffham?


Yes, it is, but where?

[Roy Mathers]

Is there more than one of these carvings in this church?


Yes, there are, Tom.

[jacuff]

It's not by chance just called the Swaffham Church is it?

Edit: Ah... this looks like a more official name for it:
Swaffham Church: St. Peter and St. Paul (http://www.swaffham.churchnorfolk.com/)?

[Roy Mathers]

That's where it is Justin (and the correct name) - over to you.

[jacuff]

I don't expect this one to go very long. WAIN?

As the crow flies, it'd get there quicker if it flies west.

Do I see petroglyphs on the walls?
Yes

Is this a church?

Is there a missing hand involved?

Oh, sorry, wrong WAIN:)!

Not a church.
No missing hands, at least not that I know of.

It's in the US I assume?

[jacuff]

Yes, it is in the US.

[Roy Mathers]

West of the Mississippi?

EDIT: Wow, that looks like a very silly question, now that I read it!

[Roy Mathers]

I know what you mean Derek:)

[jacuff]

West of the Mississippi?
Yes

Am I correct to assume that these are not "authentic" cave drawings?


EDIT: Wow, that looks like a very silly question, now that I read it!

I never said it was cave. ;) But you are correct in assuming that they are not "authentic".

[RandallC]

How about the Grand Canyon Desert View Watchtower?

[jacuff]

How about the Grand Canyon Desert View Watchtower?

Yeah, that's it! Over to you Randy.
