The Addams family meets Eastern Orthodox meets Frosty the Snowman at dusk/dawn. Beautiful.

It appears that the the shingles are on upside down, on that antarctic church. The snow seems to be piled in top of the ledge. Maybe it's been blown and has stuck up under them, assuming they're mounted properly.

Looks like an arctic outpost...

Saint Nick church

More precisely: Nagurskoye

Nice!
Saint Nicolas at Nagurskoe
How did you find it? It's not even on Google Earth.

name of 1 pict in google image
then a look at the web page holding the pict : Panoramio page so google maps
a bit more research

et voilà...

these two buildings are about 50 meters apart: where are they?

The one on the right is about 60 yards to the right of the one on the left and the one on the left is just to the left of the right one.

GM, what do you mean by the "name" of the pic ?
Is it something that can be obtained from any image on the web ?
I'm not seeing any thing useful when I do a "get image info"

In any case, I have more fun here trying to figure it out from clues
in the pic, but it's much more frustrating and often futile for me.
Then I just end up cheating and doing a Google Image search on the image, itself.

:rolleyes: try again...

Right click on the pic, Save as...
It'll offer a filename you can research since most pict are uploaded from other web sites...

Thx GM, I didn't know that was possible.

Isn't that hotlinking?
I thought doing that would get you put on report.

No, he's right. I just checked some of mine and if you choose 'save as' the name comes up as I saved it. And mine and I think all these others are not hotlinked.

I had no idea.

So folks, you need to change the name of your picture to something else, in many cases, unless you want to give the answer away.

I'm not the one doing it. And I believe the Cellar upload the file once and then store it on its own server.

You're not the one doing what? :confused:

All I'm saying, if you want to thwart cheating (um, I mean, taking advantage of hidden opportunities) that those playing this game might want to "save as" something like 587464687897 or "no peeking" or "no, no info here."

I always looked at the "properties" of the picture and THAT points to the cellar. It's the 'save as' that brings up whatever you saved the picture as before you uploaded to the Cellar. Often if you leave it as is, the name of the picture is right there.

Yeah, I almost always download the picture I want to use and sanitize the name when I save it. I give it an obvious name devoid of clues.

It goes against the spirit of this game to use file names to find something.

The arctic orthodox church picture was neat, because I stumbled across a bunch of fun images as I was trying different searches.

Spex, how did you come up with that image originally?

I came across a neat place while word googling for that place too.

I'm a Hobbit, at heart, except taller. I could wander around Google Earth for hours. I read a reference to Svalbard somewhere, sometime, and that lead me to look around and find Longyearbyen, and then Saint Nick at Nagurskoye. Yeah, it's a fascinating time-waster.:blush:

That's a cool house, but I would definitely fall off it and die.

Have you ever noticed how tropical cities are mostly drab and dull, while northern cities are colorful? Dust? Wealth? I don't know.

Dudes! We are failing to name Gunmaster's church(?). I'm guessing it is some kind of sailor's cathedral... maybe commemorating a wreck or multiple loses.

All I can figure out is they are called 1 and 2.

;)

Yeah. Looks like Northern France. Not the UK, since the cars are on the right side of the road. Coastal village with that anchor. Dreary weather.

The anchor looks like a very early design. If I knew architecture there are clues in that low walled design...

Could it be Newfoundland too, don't they drive on the other side of the road as well?

You'd surrender to calmness and meditation. Perfect tea ceremony whether you reach the hut or not!

Another clue

Right about the commemoration of wreckages and sailors.

But it's just a small church, not a cathedral.

I did a Google Image search on Architecture Britanny and found this image of Sailors Last Hope (Cokebuster)

Is it the same place ?

(If it is, I still don't know where it is !)
.

Brittany, eh? I was looking around Normandy.

It's in Brittany all right.

Camerat-sur-Mer.

It's Notre Dame de Rocamadour and Tour Vauban

Good one, Glatt

Again with Google Image search + GM's hint of "church" and "sailor"
I found another image I think is the same church in St. They, Brittany, France.
.

Ooooopps... didn't see Glatt's post before I hit SUBMIT

That's right: Camaret sur Mer.

For those who are curious about the truncated form of the bell tower, it's due to the sea.

The church and the Vauban Tower are built on a small island that was linked the continent by a small ridge. This was used to build the sea wall protecting the harbour. At high tide, the church is less than 15 meters from the sea.

The sea side of the wall has an added protection to break the waves: a mountain of round stone pebbles. Quite big pebbles: they weight around 40 pounds. Usually it is enough. But sometimes the waves are powerful enough to propel those stones like cannonballs and strike the tower bell or come throught the roof of the church.

On occasion, when sea, tide and wind are in the hurricane range, those stones can reach the marina and sink boats more than 40 meters away.

Wow. That's a lot of power.

I was there once during a winter storm and I can tell you that you feel very small in front of such nature force.

I also know the chapel shown by Lamplighter. The St They chapel is on the Pointe du Van. The place is less known and visited than the Pointe du Raz that is south of it just across the Baie des Trépassés.

Where is this?

Bush Gardens, Williamsburg VA?

Freiburg

Freiburg, Germany. The Martinstor gate tower.

Edit : too late...

I searched on "McDonalds Bavaria" and it was here. Amazing number of beautiful girls in that search, odd.

How about...

I used to live in Freiburg, and went to that McDonalds a few times. They serve beer in there. And the fries come with vinegar.

Those windows above the sign house seating for the McDonalds, but most of the restaurant is in the building to the right.

Feiburg is an amazingly beautiful city. I miss it sometimes.

I'd say Detroit Opera House but I think it's now a parking lot.

Right city.

Detroit United Artists Theater

You got it!

this one shouldn't be too hard

4

:lol2:

That was funny. You know I had to go check!

The answer is 4.

Ha, I was listening to your A.P.P. link and was on song four when I looked it up.
Seemed like a sign.

:)

Its called the Golden Deer Antler tree in Venison, France.

Be careful where you step...

pointy black crystals growing in a pine forest
quartz ? tourmaline ? ilvalite ?

...with some dufus in a black body suit and sneakers
doing a 1-hand stand by a gold-foiled elk tree

(The latter was my senior moment on first seeing this pic)

To my knowledge, there's no city or village called Venison in France.

Try again

The Golden tree is in Paimpont forest, which according to legend is the enchanted forest of Brocéliande. The enchanted forest is an important part of Arthurian legend, being the home and burial place of Merlin.

Winner: Quarantine.

Your turn to post something we have to find ;)
