I took that water in the photo to be a river or such, but it looks like it's just a swampy basin.

(Are there any photos which haven't been guessed correctly? I got lost with all the posts trying to exactly name that bermed place.)

Where is this?

Valley Daher In Sana'a Yemen

Yeah. Dar Al Hajar, Yemen.

Well that was fast. Good job Spexx. How'd you know?

Google images: house on a rock

Hahahahahaa. Well, sure, if you get THAT technical.

where's this?

Hmm

Nope.;)

I don't know. Can't seem to find anything with "big wooden face statue."

Architecture of small houses looks Australian or New Zealand
Statue looks more Maori, so I'm guessing NZ ?

But have they changed over to drive on the "right" side of the road ?

I was thinking along those same lines.

But of course I was way off, because it's in Bethany Beach, Delaware.

Red, white, sorta blue flowers in front garden. I knew it was Merka.

Kazakhstan.

Wow! Look at the speed demon.

Astana, Kazakstan

Correct!

No, it's Coca Cola world headquarters where they store the secret formula... where it is, is a secret too.

Its at Rt 1 and 26 in Bethany Beach, DE. That is actually the replacement totem pole as the original was eaten by termites.

ETA - just saw glatts post... never mind.

this?

Nong Nooch Tropical Botanical Garden
Chonburi, Thailand

Well done. And quick, too.

She's on fire today.

?

I won't tell you how I got that one.

There really is nothing up my sleeve. And I wouldn't have a clue about those photo-looker-atter-matcher things.

same general place

Looks like Petra.

nope, not Petra

Spexxvet: The Kizil Thousand Buddha Caves in Xinjiang, China

Welcome, TonyE!

Pacific Atlantic Southwest North Mid-continental East DVX

Did you leave a file name on the picture intentionally?

snicker.

Imma say a church in Tulsa, but I think that was a set-up. :lol:

NO! It's not Tulsa.

You fell for my trap. :p: ;)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Bravo!

I've been making funny comments and stuff on mine, so I look to see what others are doing.

I KNEW you were too smart to not change it.

Good one!

I linked the attachment instead of letting it fall on the bottom of the post because that way, when you mouse over it, the file name shouts out to you.

Just like smearing gobs of peanut butter all over the mouse trap trigger.

I was going to recuse myself, Mr. Trickster. :blush:

Here's a hint. The site from Google Earth

(I check all photo names now!)

Adobe Super Secret headquarters?

It reminds me of a California building that was used in television science fiction for its futuristic look; but, was actually utilitarian like a water pumping station or something.

With the ones that I have answered, I located them by using keywords that describe the image in a Google image search. It was just a case of finding the right words :)

For example for http://cellar.org/showpost.php?p=777292&postcount=574 I used "Golden Tree France" (I guessed it would likely be in France)

For http://cellar.org/showpost.php?p=778581&postcount=668 it was more difficult to find the right words. Most searches using words such as caves, cliffs, rock face, dwellings came back to Petra. Knowing that many such places have a religious significance, I added religions to the searches. I can't remember exactly what I used but it was something like "caves Buddhist" that led to the answer.

For http://cellar.org/showpost.php?p=778786&postcount=678 I used 3 words that described the picture and the answer came up straight away. Those 3 words are...

That's the trick. The skill is in observing what's in the picture. Your knowledge helps with that, but sometimes it's just plain observation. If you know enough that a particular church has a Russian Orthodox look to it, then that's going to narrow your search down considerably.

But then other times your knowledge hurts you. Like if you are looking for totem poles in the Pacific when the pole is really in Delaware.

You guys are killing me. I want my 45 minutes back. This game is deadly.

By the way, I got next.

I can't tell if 678 has been answered yet or not. :right:

Not.

I know! I hate it, but I love it.

Notre-Dame-du-Haut (Ronchamp, Franche-Comte)?

The 3 words I used to find it were "church modern architecture"

I used 4: modernist open air chapel

Yes!

You could also use white concrete church

where?

Hey, that'll come in handy - I need somewhere to land my UFO!

Trementina Base?
