Yes

Gordy

I put up easy ones

That one was.....

One last one for me for now:

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j35/helokat/100_0377.jpg

Gettysburg?

Not Gettysburg---that would be too easy....

I had the address, but as it is not Gettysburg ...

Gordy, any chance that your cemetery is not a Civil War one in the US, but one of WW1 in Europe? France or Belgium?

Little Bighorn National Monument and Cemetery, Montana.

It's a British/Commonwealth war grave pre 1945. Central Europe??

In Gordy's absense I suggest Matari is correct.

http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/thumblarge_443/12548705862BDS12.jpg

National Cemetery - Little Bighorn Battlefield

Matari---you are correct.

I was there in July---one of my other helicopters is on fire contract with the Crow Indian Nation there.

Thanks Gordy. Unfortunately nothing loaded and ready to post.

Therefore: Open House.

An easy one for the afternoon.

Spain somewhere?

Nowhere in Spain.

I stand corrected---I now have a name...

The Triumphal Arch of Orange in SE France:

Arch of Orange (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triumphal_Arch_of_Orange)

Gordy has it. I said it was easy.

Gordy is now in control.

It was not that easy---it took me a while...

Gordy is now in control.

If only you could convince my boss.....

OK---Lets try this:

The side-view Gordy?

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

Nope...wrong country.

Hawaii

The name starts with a K and end with the word falls

Right State, wrong falls.

I can't spell the names with my keyboard

Sneaky... :E That is cheating.....

Yeah you can.....

Wailua ?

I gotta catch my flight so over and out

Right island...wrong falls....

Enjoy your flight.

Limited search capabilities on the company laptop today. :ugh:

How about Secret Falls, Wailua Valley?

That looks the closest, at least at the base.

Open House if correct. I'm on the road today and was just popping in.

Nope...not correct....you are about 8 miles too far to the East. I spent many a day at secret falls.

Huge hint----The one we are looking for is only accessible by helicopter.

Huge hint---- The one we are looking for is only accessible by helicopter.

Is this an Advert? or did you crash land there? :)

It must be a "Secret" known only to the natives

Is this an Advert? or did you crash land there?

Ha...nope, landed there but never crashed...and left there 6 years ago now...

It must be a "Secret" known only to the natives

Next hint...I would guess that most people have seen this waterfall in a movie...

I know that the photo is stupidly big, but if I reduce the size it becomes impossibly small. Apologies, but here we are:
http://i861.photobucket.com/albums/ab176/vikingphoto/P1000627-1.jpg

My only question is - WHY?

Funnily I am reminded of my first visit to CDG - all I smelt was manure - probably nothing to do with that pic.

CDG and manure have little to do with the picture.

10...9..8--7-6..... blast off ooops

Is it the only remaining part of the rocket to the sun from the Goons' "The Fireball of Milton Street"?

Well, it's been 14 hours or so, and answers so far were not correct. Well not really answers actually.

Is it the big photo that is putting you off?

I have no clue---I have spent about an hour researching and came up empty.

Any chance of a hint?

The people who work in this building were all trained in a building next door to this one, the only training establishment for this profession in the whole country.

But graduates from this specialised school are to be found in every town in the country

challenging clue :ok: Hour into it myself. :confused:

Is it the big photo that is putting you off?

It is normal size on my screen, not that it helps me that much. Still trying to figure out where.

Two avenues (three, in fact)

1. One establishment for training people for each town in the country.
- Small country, or
- High/very specialized people, like
- Fire-fighter Officers, Police chiefs, Surveyors….

2. Is the coniform but otherwise nondescript object somehow related to the subject the people are working on or just an example of erratic architecture?

3. Is the country UK?

PS: Does not seem to be located in Moreton-in-Marsh….

Warning! if you find this do not attempt to open it. This is what a reentry cone from a missile containing a nuclear weapon looks like.

Call your nearest civil defence people and they will defuse it for you as they have the specialize training.

There is a warning label on its bottom side that reads

if you can read this your ass is grass

Reg,


1. One establishment for training people for each town in the country.
- Small country,
No
- High/very specialized people, Yes

- Fire-fighter Officers, Police chiefs, Surveyors….
None of these

2. Is the coniform but otherwise nondescript object somehow related to the subject the people are working on or just an example of erratic architecture? No discernable relationship to the activity within.

3. Is the country UK?
No


PS: Does not seem to be located in Moreton-in-Marsh…. Confirmed.

I will give you a little while to reflect and if necessary drop another hint or two after that.

It's the rat catchers simulator in Hamelin.

I am surprised that you are having difficulties. This building is typical of the style of the architect who is of a different nationality from the country in which the building is to be found.
He designed famous landmark buildings in Madrid, Barcelona, Paris, London, New York amongst other places.
At least two of his creations have a strong aviation relationship.

Sounds like Jean Nouvel….

Bordeaux Law Courts. (Richard Rogers).

What did sisemen say about "rat catchers"? Appropriate, although wrong town….

Sabredog has found it.

It only took just over a full 24 hours.

Rogers of course designed the Pompidou Centre, Lloyds of London, LHR Terminal 5, No. 3 WTC, Madrid Barajas, amongst others.

There are three more cones in the building:


http://i861.photobucket.com/albums/ab176/vikingphoto/P1000626.jpg

and the building on the left is part of the "Ecole Nationale de la Magistrature" where all French judges are trained. There is just the one magistrates' school in the whole of France.

The cones, incidentally, are the courtrooms.

Sabredog has the yoke.

Thank you,Wingsfolded.
Apologies for the delay in responding.
Open House.

I submit this challenge. Pardon the colors, it is more than a few years old. It was badly over-exposed ... and was an 18 x 23 mm frame.

South-Western France

Not in France.

Walnut Canyon National Park, Arizona

RegDep ... you are truly amazing. That is the place. I think it is a National Monument, however. Monuments are smaller and less fancy than Parks.

The picture was taken in the summer of 1941. I am the kid on the right.

RegDep has control.

Thanks seacue. Looked at rocks and walls made of rock and got same to let me search for Indians…

Here am I the same year, wondering where on Earth I had ended up. Especially because we spent some long hours in bomb shelters.

Open House I am afraid.

I waited about an hour, but as nobody took up the Open House, here is one:

http://i861.photobucket.com/albums/ab176/vikingphoto/P1000607.jpg

Ahh...you beat me by about 30 seconds...........

Sorry, Gordy.

I would normally fumble for a lot longer than that, but this time my post worked first time......

This is from Bordeaux region, too…...

This is from Bordeaux region, too…...


OK, but what and where?

Several similar places seem to be for rent.

Single story buildings -- less common.

So, not (???) a vineyard nor a noble estate?

It would cause a bit of surprise locally if it were put out for rent.

It reminds me of a vineyard I went in Pomerol. That was close to an old church. I don't know if Pomerol, Saint-Emilion, or Sauternes would count for Bordeaux, though. So far unsuccessful with vineyards….

Reg,

I think all of those places can be regarded as being in the Bordeaux region.

I have no idea how many vineyards there are in the Bordeaux Appelation region, but it is quite a few. You will be at it for quite some time if you try them all.

To save you a bit of time, therefore, it is not a vineyard

Not the vicarage of a cathedral...

BTW Must. Refine. Search. Terms.
(Unless political borders recently underwent a drastic change.) :confused:

http://images.traveledge.com/assets/groundPhotos/Stonehenge.jpg

Not a rectory, either?

In a way, it looks like a back door to a restaurant (the front door would be on the town square next to the church)…..

Ach, did not read v3m's post. Vicarage - rectory (presbytère).

The Town Hall,St.Emilion,Bordeaux.

What? Would that be the back in the upper terrasse/street above the square?

Yes it is……...

Tis indeed the back door of the Mairie at St Emilion. The front is rather better known.

Would puzzle the residents if it were rented out; they would have nowhere to get married.

Sabredog does it again, and has control. (I will take care of the nav and the RT if he wants)

Thank you for the offer of nav and R/T assistance,wings folded,but my wings were folded a long time ago!
As I am not able to monitor the threads as much as usual,it is;
Open House.

That Open House has attracted me again. Can you tell me what this building is and where it is located?

http://members.toast.net/rcarpen/WhereQ0925.jpg

Colorado State Capitol Building,Denver.

Mr S. Dog has it again. I thought it would be too easy for him.

sabredog has control again.

How quick and good would you be, sabredog, if you did monitor the thread? :confused:

Apologies,Gentlemen. That was definitely my last shot of the P.M.
Open House.

Name the house

http://fromtheflightdeck.com/MEL/PPRune/99-07-25a.jpg

The great Gen. Eisenhower's home in Gettysburg, PA.

Correct sabredog:ok:

Did the five star flag give it away?

Thank you,Lomapaseo. I visited Gettysburg some twenty years ago, but I don't recall the Five Star insignia around the house or gardens!
The next challenge;
http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i352/mosquito633/Quiz40-1.jpg
Should not last very loing.

The Queen Victoria Memorial Clock Tower, George Town, Penang, Malaysia.

Correct. Far too easy.
YHC

Easy all right.

Open House; I am as good as gone for tonight.

Reg

Alrighty...lets try this:

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j35/helokat/caption%20pics/DSCN4824.jpg

Is it in Australia?

Nope...Not Australia

Did those start as anthills?

No...they are caused by erosion.

The area south of the Grand Canyon or maybe Petra.

Red sandstone rocks eroded by wind as much as rain.

Nope...neither one.

Antartica? :p

Am I on the right track??

http://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/30/53/1305396_a2213d44.jpg

I think a hint is in order---North of Antartica..

And nope---tis West of the three rocks trail in Ireland....

I think a hint is in order---North of Antartica..

Is it East or West of Antartica ?

Arches National Park, Utah?

A trio whose erosion didn't get with the program. Wind sculpted as well.

Too flat for the Badlands but perhaps someplace in Utah? I know those red rocks run along the east side of the Rockies, as well as arid areas in the southwest.

(Erosion in arid areas may seem a contradiction, but constant rainfall and normal vegetation would wash them away.)

"Mom, can we go to the Badlands in South Dakota please, please, please, can we?"

"Only if you behave nicely like a good child."

Is it East or West of Antartica ?

Glad I wasn't drinking coffee when I read that.

Sorry---was out eating....

Not Arches, and not in the badlands.....

Utah----yes

Gorgy, very little has been left for me to Giggle: 'three rocks Utah' gives

...three rocks behind Thor's Hammer in Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah, USA

Tis not Bryce canyon...

I need to go to bed....hence I will give it to you, as you are pretty close---196 miles driving anyways... It is in Goblin Valley State Park in Utah:

See Here (http://www.planetware.com/picture/utah-goblin-valley-state-park-us-ut125.htm)

And HERE (http://stateparks.utah.gov/parks/goblin-valley)

I visited it and took the picture back in 2006 while fighting fires in the nearby Fishlake National Forest.

Over to you.....

The question is: The name of the old Roman province ?

http://i849.photobucket.com/albums/ab53/SINGAPURCANAC/IMGP1432.jpg

Thanks Gordy, generous of you!

Next

http://i1103.photobucket.com/albums/g472/RegDep/m-2-1.jpg

Oh, hi Singa. Is yours from Macedonia (the way Macedonia was as a Roman province)?

# 6114 : Is it Dacia?

Neither Dacia nor Macedonia.

I think that this "look" is quite characteristic for that particular Roman province.

Dalmatia (Croatia)?

Dalmatia is correct answer. :ok:

This "look" might be whenever between Velebit at North and Dubrovnik to South, but at this particular picure it is Peljesac peninsula, highest point.

#Post 6115;
Antwerp Law Courts,Belgium. Richard Rogers Architect.

OK sabredog (and everyone), try this one. What is it and where?

http://members.toast.net/rcarpen/Q1006.jpg

Sailwinds Visitor Center, Cambridge, Md.

sabredog has met the challenge. Why should I have doubted it?

Dorchester County Visitors Center in Sailwinds Park, Cambridge, Maryland. That is the Choptank River behind the building --- really an arm of Chesapeake Bay.

Closing down now, so please do not wait for confirmation.
The name of the city is all that is required.

New Zealand?

Yes!! But what and where in NZ? ;)

A meeting house - a wharenui.

Auckland museum.

Taken last weekend - should be easy as:

http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj274/toolowtoofast/CIMG0148.jpg

Winnie's war rooms?

toolowtoofast, got to be a museum of sorts... a typewriter???

Mine was a Wharenui inside the Aukland war memorial museum. Good job:ok:

it's not in NZ. about 12.5hr flight time away from the wharenui.

TooLow. Moved your pic to keep from going back and forth.

No doubt, you have it RegDep.

Well, in anticipation of confirmation (wow, doesn't that sound pompous) of toolowtoofast, here is my next for the night shift to ponder:

http://i1103.photobucket.com/albums/g472/RegDep/IMG_6650.jpg

yup - Alcatraz. I had a moment there last weekend. Friday morning sitting on my deck on a sunny spring morning in the antipodes, that afternoon sitting on the rock looking out at the bridge. The world truly is a small place.

Where did you stop in between, Tahiti or Honolulu?

"The Silent People",Suomussalmi, Finland by artist Reijo Kela.

It's a Hei People art exhibition, I'm pretty sure 'The Oddity of Highway 5', or 'The silent people of Kainuu' in Northern Finland, given the fir trees in the background.

It's taken me 4 minutes to post that given my coffee was just ready! I think it's yours SD. The Bathurst 1000 is on today down this way so I'll be glued to the GB all day!

"The Silent People", Suomussalmi, Finland by artist Reijo Kela

Yes Sir, Picture taken in June this year. Impressive in sunshine, mist, rain, snow……

Over to you Sabredog!

PS: And it is in Kainuu province in Nothern Finland, so a couple of points to you, too, toolowtoofast!

Thank you,Regdep. Extraordinary piece of "Art".
I am happy for TooLowTooFast to take control.
So,TLTF YHC!

New Zealand per chance?

LOL yes............

TLTF, the way you ask, yours must be Marsden Point.

v3m, More interesting would be to know whose you think the French cavalry saber is…….

Scrap that TLTF, let's say Port of Tauranga instead. Flying over NZTG Tauranga Airfield.

I'm not sure if the news related item was England losing the rugby or the oil spill within the Bay of Plenty.

only good news here :) and yes - it is Tauranga Harbour mouth taken on climb out from NZTG - the hill being Mt Maunganui - a beautiful place on a summer's day (like today :) )

Looks like narrow gauge (3'6" or metre) but it's hard to tell. This is a total shot in the dark but I wonder if it's the terminus of the RTZ railway in Western Australia?

No and wrong gauge.

Canadian Pacific .......?

Nearer and right gauge

Looks like a mine and ore transportation.

Not a mine and although there are a good number of coal trains passing they're by no means the only thing.

Union Pacific Yard. West Colton California. About 50 miles from where I am sitting.

Not Colton.

Then it's Union Pacific's North Yard, Denver CO. Significantly more than 50 miles from where I am sitting. :p

Appears Harrington has drifted off to sleep.

If you google this, it will give you a picture of the same place from a different point for view, at least I believe so. I've been wrong before though.

Not Denver either but getting much closer now. I76 from Denver perhaps 4 hours by car.

I am disabled and I could not.

There's some NASA connection, isn't there?

No disrespect intended of course.

No NASA connection, but having lived in a NASA stronghold-there are a lot of Vettes there.... And good line BTW...

OK Sabredog; give me your best shot...

Yorkshire Dales, probably somewhere near Dent. Obviously taken with a shutter speed of 1000th/sec as you managed to capture a moment when it wasn't raining.

Wherever it is, poor taste on the replacement windows :=

Agree.

The re-pointing and the chimney pots look dodgy too. The concept of a southerner if you ask me.

It's not in the Yorkshire Dales; but within fifty-miles or so. I'm looking for the name of the valley, or, the name of the nearest village to this location.

This was a "doppleganger" location that was heavily disguised to avoid the WW II bombing of a prime target within the adjacent valley.

Yeah, the replacement windows weren't to my taste either; however, 58 years ago I was born in the cottage next-door to what was then a school.

I feel sure that Sabredog has enough clues to work upon?

Here's the front view (looking up the hill towards the village)...

OT Gordy
Idaho Falls LDS Temple in Idaho.
Years back, The New Yorker magazine filled space with snippets of unusual tidbits from various newspapers, often typo corrections.

One time in the 1970s, they reprinted an apology that went something like this:

The Thus'N'Such Gazette published an article on month day, year stating that "60% of the population of Utah is on LSD." The article should have stated that "60% of the population of Utah belongs to the Church of LDS." The Thus'N'Such Gazette apologizes for the error.

I think I could hear heads rolling when I read that.

visibility3miles..

That is hilarious...... btw, I am home right now, my house is on the East Bench overlooking Salt Lake City and I can see the Salt Lake City LDS Temple. Although not a follower myself, I just read the quote to some friends who are---they also thought it hilarious.

[Near] Bletchley Park springs to mind. Have to check.

Nothing like an ocean to stave off commotion.

I'm in - and I'm putting it somewhere close to the Derwent Valley where the dambuster trials were flown. That looks like Kinder Scout country to me - but just where ...........................

they also thought it hilarious.

I wish I'd saved it. It was one of the most jaw-dropping "typos" I've ever seen, and I'm not a Mormon.

:eek:




Changed a punctuation mark...

Not Bletchly Park... that's well off track.

TBirdFrank is in the loosly correct area; however, the Dambuster theme isn't a clue but that it does bolster his location theory.

The building at the top of the lane is the new school; a stone-throw from the old one.

TCF

Too many valleys, prime bombing targets and old schools in Yorkshire to find in the time available :(.

Lune Valley?

The first purpose built school was known as the Free School and was built in 1686... that should give the game away!

A new building erected in 1903 in Holzgartenstraße was destroyed in 1944 during a nocturnal bomb attack on Stuttgart. The school was then accommodated in the buildings of the Zeppelin-Gymnasium until the new buildings on the site of the former villa of Ferdinand von Zeppelin at Herdweg 72 had been completed in 1957.

850 x 850

The statue - Mighty Casey by Mark Lundeen at Loveland Colorado - you left the clues in!

Image size - sorry - direct lift off my Photobucket site - will choose a smaller size in future

It is very easy to resize pictures in Photobucket, just remember to rename the file after it, otherwise the address will bring the original size. You can do it afterwards, too, via edit.

The problem is (and I am no Mod) that oversized pictures take too much bandwidth, and the thread will be closed sooner - not to mention the difficulty to see on smaller screens.

And yours is

The Cenotaph on the highest point of the Hacking Knife on Werneth Low was erected in 1921 with part of the proceeds of a public subscription raised after World War One as a tribute to the 710 young men of Hyde lost in the War to End Wars.

Edit: I think Jetsy was first, I added mine by editing.

TBF,

An Obelisk on Werneth Low hill, in Memory of those who gave their lives in World War 1 and World War 2. Northwest England, UK.

I have just had a look at photobucket and found the edit controls - thanks!

I didn't realise that I had put that image on my fledgling website for you all to plunder ..... derrrr!!!!

Over to Jetsy!

I believe RegDep beat me by a couple of minutes. RegDep, your ball.

OK, Jetsy. If you insist, but you know that after posting there is 10 minutes time to edit, before the new time stamp appears. I did just that.

However, what do you make out of this on Earth?

Two versions, RegDep..

Leussink Engineering - Welcome to the family... (http://www.leussink.com.au/new/eng20.html) Volkswagen car factory, garage.. or

German Parking Garage - AudiWorld Forums (http://forums.audiworld.com/showthread.php?t=1591366) Munich parking garage. You tell me.;)

And there is a web site that tells me there is one of them things in Japan as well.

It is only one place, Jetsy, and they do not look like rice bowls or Audis to me….

The Audi picture says "garage in Munich below" (below the picture of these VW Polos)

A Volkswagen Polo is loaded in the car towers of the VW Autostadt in Wolfsburg, northern Germany …... The Autostadt, situated next to Volkswagen’s headquarter, is the company’s theme park, and distribution centre where daily 5500 visitors view Volkswagen brands lile Bentley, Audi, Lamborghini.

And if you want, you can get your VW delivered there, with all bells and whistles (or, as the Germans say: Mit Pauken und Posaunen. Drums and Trombones).

Back to you Jetsy :ok:

Autostadt, a visitor attraction adjacent to the Volkswagen factory in Wolfsburg, Germany.

On the outside glass car silos:

open house. Nothing scanned at the moment.

Easy one for the morning:

TBirdFrank... Bolsterstone it was, but your photo wasn't the "Old Free School". I believe your image is the old railway station near Wortley!

Ewden Valley was given a makeover to make it appear to be the steel-works in the adjacent valley... Stocksbridge. The bombs never did arrive; except for the odd stray that was perhaps intended for Sheffield; however, the shrapnel from that bomb is still embedded within the cottage wall.

If you Giggle "Old Free School" you'll see the image.

Gordy,

I first thought of the view from the Church of the Holy Cross near Sedona but this looks more like Monument Valley, Utah. I'll see if I can find a similar shot.

This is what happens when you google "Beautiful Mountains in Desert."

http://www.paulridenour.com/DSC_0044.JPG

I'll keep looking.

11Fan has it----Monument Valley on the border of Utah and Arizona. Another shot---I flew right through it:

Over to you.........

Sorry, I'm still ogling, sorry, googling that last picture. Back in a few.

Easy one I had handy.

Pittsburgh, PA?

No sir........ This place is famous though.

Seattle, WA?

Indeed Jetsy.

Southbound I-5. Just visible, the Space Needle.

She's yours to fly.

The Space Needle in the background was a huge clue..:)

I can't fly just yet. Nothing handy scanned. OH

Seeing as though I am right here.....lets continue with the Beautiful Mountains in Deserttheme.... Where is this:

Duty calls. Away for a bit.

Garden of the Gods

Ivins, Utah, U.S.A.

Yep...svhar over to you.

svhar,

You mentioned earlier that you were not yet able to post pictures. Do you have PM privilege yet? If so, PM me the picture link, I will post it on your behalf and not participate.

Cheers,
11Fan

Thank you, 11Fan.

I only have some pictures in my computer, that might be interesting for this game. I don´t know if it's possible to post such pictures or not. About the PM privilege, I don't know either. I'll have to try.

I hope I'll figure all this out one day, but until then I declare an Open House.

Nice game. Cheers, svhar.

Very well.

svahr, I am sure you got posting and PM privileges from day one (I did). Just be brave and try.

Hotel lobby pic from LAS

It is a lobby, but not Las Vegas, and not a hotel.

A number have friends have sent me greetings from there.

Another clue perhaps?

The last time I was there, I noticed that the women were crazy, but rather short. I regret not getting one while I was there.

OK, I have about an hour or so left, so another clue.

There is something Royal about not only this place, but where it is.

short in stature or just rude? :)

I'm picking Canada given the Maple leaves and the furry animals that can be shot theme. RCMP lobby somewhere? Pretty flash for a police station though!

Too low, a play on words. It's a synonym. Also, changed one word to more closely match the clue.

Another clue: Wish you were here.

I'm picking Canada given the Maple leaves and the furry animals that can be shot theme.

No sir, although I suspect you could find some evidence of their influence in Canada.

Are we talking AGAIN about Canadian Ballet?

Singapore?
