Striped Water Tower In Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Veritable bullseye Reg. :D Well done.

Thanks Wallah, not too difficult: Giggled 'striped water tower' and it came as No 1.

I can see that while I was away, somebody posted my next challenge, which would have been the Hospice de Beaune. Consequently, I have to post another wine challenge, which, naturally, is miles away from Hospice de Beaune.

Fields of brandy in Sussex

If you are thinking of the one in New Jersey, the answer is no, Flying Lawyer.

Not in Sussex, either, Lomapasseo, although I may see your point.

And it is all about forgetting and remembering.

Did you forget me, Reg, hmm? :*

How could I, Sirikit…. I am no Napoleon.

J'ai oublié le nom du lieu, le nom de la fille, mais le vin ... était du Chambertin.
(I forgot the name of the place, the name of the girl, but the wine ... was Chambertin.)

Napoleon.


Over to you my Queen.

Edit: Miles away from Beaune: About 15.

I win again.:p Glad to see you back, Reg. The boys have been nasty to me pulling my pigtails.:E

Open House.

Give me a minute and I'll post one, most likely an easy one.

Okay, here you go.

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c246/con-pilot/IMG_5082.jpg

Yes, Reg. I had a hunch that you just stumbled down the road.

No flies on me.:p

Pikes Peak?

Yep, all yours. :ok:

I realise the V3M may well be still in the sack, but we need uplifting!

So.....

Rough sea, to be more precise.
Open house,

Bit windy for Fog on the Tyne eh ?

Looks all too tame for Phare du Four in Bretagne, but windy, though. Lake Windermere?

It's the Tynemouth Lighthouse, my obtuse reference was to Lindisfarne (the band not the island)

Run for home.......!

Just for Reg in case he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.:p

haJhAqaKvoA

I did not :O ….

Know nor get…..

While we are at it, and there seems to be a creative pause, allow me to post another Where on Earth challenge.

Just finished a meal of grilled dorado, filled with herbs, and had a nice bottle of Chenin Blanc - Viognier from the Old New World.

Here is a shot of the back label. Got a bit confused about the warning. Honestly, I never thought it that way.

So: Where on the Earth do they need a label like this?

http://i1103.photobucket.com/albums/g472/RegDep/Foto-3-1.jpg

PS: This is for real, no joke. The (empty) bottle is just in front of me.

Switzerland somewhere?

I love Switzerland. I just want to win the lottery and go and live there. There or Austria.

13.5% alcohol?

Yes, the importer is in Switzerland, and the wine has been bought in Germany. The wine is a Stellenbosch. So go figure who needs to warn that drinking alcohol may reduce your ability to drink more alcohol.

Good night and good luck.

You don't want to drink Vodka in Siberia then, Reg!:O

Not really, to tell the truth. Have nothing against Vodka elsewhere, though.

Good night.

Edit: Woken up to the sunny morning, I think it is in order to recognize that the sober state of the thread is that Sailor should call his challenge to Wordick, and my interlude with the warning will stay unresolved - I have no idea why it is necessary to say what it says.

Congrats to Wodrick, tis indeed the Tynemouth lighthouse. Lindisfarne were a great band, Lady Eleanor is still my favourite.

Thank You, Open House unfortunately

May I enter one that I do not know the answer to ? if this is out of line I will delete.
Sorting through an old box of photos and came across this one which a failing memory is unable to identify.
It shows a much younger Henry somewhere France in the mid 1950's, I have a strong suspicion it was taken in the Pyrenees.
I doubt the castle will have changed much since then.

Reg - The printer was drunk when he printed that label.:p

Thanks AGP, I don't remember seeing any monks herding geese. :)

Sirikit,

Reg - The printer was drunk when he printed that label.

Were it Australian, drunk or did it on purpose, and most likely both.

I don't know what to think about the odds in South Africa.

Swiss, definitely neither.

I suppose the printer has a point if you were to drink ENOUGH.

Are you sure it's not fake Chinese wine Reg ?

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32684975/1234.jpg

No hints I have made them so easy recently.

Who needs hints and clues? Phantom Ranch, Grand Canyon.

Sorry just had an island internet 'outage' as they say across the pond.

OK that is it, the next time I get a chance it is going to be really difficult :E

All yours AGP

OK Exascot, here's one you may find very easy.

http://images.tournet.gr/photos/0000/9042106_0.jpg

Thanks. I can't remember if the bridge thingy has a name. Isn't there someone famous buried just to the left? Anyway down the bottom about 1/2km away from Phantom Lodge.

I was going to post this for the next challenge but now I have changed my mind if I am right.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32684975/big-ben-11.jpg

No Exascot, it's not the Grand Canyon. Much closer to home.

Exascot, for yours.....It's a big place in London where all those w*****rs pretend to work!

AGP Watkins Glen State Park

Edit: Having some problems in placing the "home", though.

No, sorry Reg, not Watkins Glen

Thought so. Somewhere in Alpes Maritimes, but as above, where's home?

Edit: What would the locals call this? Gorge, canyon, Klamm ….

Reg, I was addressing Exascot specifically, but definitely Europe, so closer to your home also.

I know it as a gorge, if I knew the local lingo it would probably give the location away.

Found something like that in Slovenia (and Germany, and France, and Spain, and Austria :sad:),

Samaria on Crete?

You've got it SV. :D Was it the 'gorge' that gave it away? Thought Exascot would've got it, I did tell him it was close to home.

I was having lunch, dam it, and thinking I may be wrong and just about to put Samaria. Nice lunch anyway.

It's a big place in London where all those w*****rs pretend to work!

Do they even 'pretend'? :zzz:

Insider job….. :suspect:

I've actually been there! Bloody long hike and a good pair of boots needed.

OK, this one is DFS as Kevin Wilson would say!

Actually it's Scripp's Pier, the 'SunStarPier' was the title of the photo.

Sailor Vee

Don't know if you saw this over the weekend.

Sunday 10th July 2011
Mt Etna Volcano, Italy
A paroxysmal eruption occurred at SE crater of Mt Etna volcano on 9th July 2011 after a few days of strobolian activity. This is the fifth eruption at Mt Etna in 2011. The eruption was shorter than previous eruptions this year. Weak strombolian activity occurred at SE crater between 4-7 July. Activity stopped on 8th July and resumed on 9th July around midday when lava overflowed the eastern rim of SE crater. At 13:45 UT strombolian eruptions intensified to produce a lava fountain. Ash emissions reached a height of several kilometres and produced lapilli falls in populated areas between Nicolosi and Catania in the south, and Trecastagni, Viagrande and Acireale in the southeast. The paroxysm lasted for one hour and was accompanied by a lava flow which reached the Valle del Bove. During the start of the paroxysm there was an ash explosion from Bocca Nuova.

Actually I have a beer right here in the taverna next to the computer. Right guys I said I have been too lenient. Taken by me but photos available on line.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32684975/DSC07330.JPG

Well change the file name. You don't actually think that right clicking on my last photo is going to help do you?

Your second photo says Mousa Island on the file.

Anyway I thought the convention was that if a player gets it right it's his/her bash not open house declared by the poster.

Anyway have to go off line now if anyone can prove that they have got the house location correct they have control.

INSANITY
It's difficult to comprehend how insane some people can be. Especially when you're insane.

No,Regdep. It is a memorial in a somewhat warmer climate.

The Somme or Amiens?

No,SV. Not European, or WW1.

I'm working on it. Don't tell us unless we give up.

It looks like it's in the bush.

Is it wood?

Two broken spearheads coming down and three sharp ones pointing against. A battle of somewhere?

is it on the dark continent ?

Sirikit;
Not bush in the Australian/African sense, and I believe it is made of metal.
Regdep;
Symbolic of warfare,but not spears. Somewhat more modern.
Stuckgear;
Yes, but not south.

Any influence on the location due to Rommel ?

Is it on the dark continent ?
Yes, but not south.
Struggling for a politically correct interpretation of that one :ooh:.

Stuckgear;
No connection to Gen. Erwin Rommel, and on reflection, it is not on the "Dark Continent", but geographically close to it .
Regdep;
See the reply above.

Is it situated on an island?

No,Sirikit.
It commemorates an incident/action which took place during a war in the late 1940s. It is made of stainless steel and concrete.

Middle East/Israel?

OK: Lets assume that Dark Continent is Africa (there could be other alternatives, of course, but lets assume Africa). And the challenge is not in south, so lets assume it is north of the equator. And thus it is geographically close to Africa, but not on the continent of Africa.

What does that leave us

1. Cap Verde, Canary Islands, Madeira and Azores in the west.
2. Near East

How about Sinai?

Edit: I am not stalking you, you are stalking me Sirikit :suspect:.

Regdep;
Please see #post 3930 above regarding the "Dark Continent".
Sirikit;
Israel is the country/State.

Boston, Massachusetts LNG storage tank
Dorchester neighborhood
The rainbow design painted on a 140-foot (43 m) tall LNG storage tank is the largest copyrighted work of art in the world. Notably, the Swash appeared in the opening credits to the 2005 film Fever Pitch.

This one is called "Killing Time" It is a 15 year old picture so it may look different now.

Good grief! Looks like a Twin Otter on the runway. I'm going for somewhere in the Carribean. Can't find anything remotely similar though

I'm going for somewhere in the Carribean.

Sorry, no.

Obscure clue. Madonna's first time.

Somewhere in Pennsylvania?

San Pedro, Belize ?

Negative on both. Hint: I was killing time.

Virgin Islands?

Reg,

You're half right. And it looks different now. These were taken 15 years ago.

Virgin Islands

Out of Trim,

RegDep tried that on the previous page and I told him he was half right.

Hilton Head? Sorry, I am not good at these.

Maddona. Like a Virgin was her first album (so 1/2 right on the Virgin Islands - but it's not in the Carribean). I've already got that but can't place them together. It's not Branson Airport - way too small. *edit* Branson/Virgin - duh ....just got that connection!

At some point, someone is going to connect the dots and....

Funny enough, I never used this because I thought it would be too easy.

Airport in St. George's, Bermuda?
Or Honolulu Airport (or another Hawaii airport)

Branson as in Virgin Airlines (records, group, etc.)
Virgin Money caught in ocean storm, ended up in St. George's, Bermuda
Killing time waiting for rescue (or flying balloons)?
Massage = message?

OH although I'm probably wrong.

Airport in St. George's, Bermuda?
Or Honolulu Airport (or another Hawaii airport)


Sorry, no.

What's the writing/language on the side mirror? It doesn't look like

OBJECTS IN MIRROR ARE

It is likely a clue I never noticed or thought of.

What's the writing/language on the side mirror?

Same or similar to the writing on the McDonalds Sign I would suspect.

And I would suspect that you suspect correctly.

Very sweet!

Stalking me again, hmm?:O

I wasn't referring to you as sweet. Don't worry!

Aw, why on earth not?:O

I must have missed the part where the open challenge was identified and open house declared.

Saudia Arabia is VERY close.
