I'll have to sit this one out.

too obvious?

Trementina Base, Church of Spiritual Technology near Trementina, New Mexico.

I saw these symbols in Clearwater some time agao.

Yeah. I posted it over on the wtf thread a few years ago.

Yes mitite - dang I missed your first post for some reason!

Donde esta?

I don't know why, but it shouts Binghamton to me.

Not Binghamton.

What is that sculpture in the front? Looks like bones or tusks. Chicken bones even.

Colonel Sanders Home for Wayward Youth in Corbin KY?

Close up

That's really amazing. It looks like wood timbers, but it's impossible to bend thick timbers like that. Yet, there they are.

There's an issue of Fine Boatbuilding or whatever the hell it's called where they show how the Vietnamese Bend 6" thick planks (read beams) when building boats. They coat the planks with tar and set them afire. When the wood begins to soften the push it into place with poles and some guy puts out the fire just in the spot where he wants to fasten the plank to the ribs.

I guess it is possible, but the picture shows whale bones, not timbers. That was my mistake.

It's In Stanley, Falkland Islands. Christ Church cathedral.

Glatt, FTW, again.

grumble grumble

Good game, good game.

I'll show a little more background in this old painting from the 1800's.

Took a few searches to locate this one, the Natural Bridge, in Rockbridge County, Virginia.

Well done!

?

Awesome picture

There are 699 steps on Jacob's ladder in Jamestown, St Helena

I found it by using the search option in the worldinprint.com site that the picture is from :)

correct!

where?

I recognize that tree in the background. That's on the northwestern side of Ojrzanowo, Poland. The street doesn't have a name, but it's behind the Wojciechowski's barn.

It is a building believed to be of significance to some folks.

Hint: it is a church.

Most significant religious sites have huge throngs of people around them at all times and they have chains and other crowd control devices. Not to mention spot lights illuminating them. They are also usually in better repair, even if they are old.

Maybe the photographer and crowds are kept behind a chain, and this is the view as seen from the front of the crowd?

Ok, Imma say I effed up. That pic showed up a couple times in my search, so I used it. Here's a better pic.

Axum, Ethiopia

The Ark of the Covenant is supposed to be in there.

Yup

The Ethiopian flags helped a lot. Thanks for that hint.

Here's one. where's this?

glouster, ma ? my guess is from here

Yes! Well done.

Where ?

Bridge to nowhere? Ketchikan to Gravina Island, Alaska?

:) Almost, I think Sara vetoed the building of that bridge.

And you're in the right direction, but it's not in the U.S.

Hope, British Columbia

Where is this?

Well, the obvious guess is a Seaworld? That's too easy, right?

It's a Wyland, right?

Not Wyland. Not Seaworld.

Edit: I thought you meant that Wyland was a place. It's not a place called Wyland. I don't know if somebody named Wyland painted the mural.

Oh whale, all google roads lead to Wyland.

Very sneaky, bro.

Turns out it was painted by Wyland. So that narrows it down a bit.

Oh.

According to Wiki, narrows it down to about 100.

Yeah, but look at the picture. There are a few other major clues.

Sarasota?

nope

IM, nice catch on the Wyland.

driving on left - UK

There you go.

Arghhh. So that's not Country Folks or Country Fabrics?

Hmmm...the statue.

Ahhhh, was going through the list. Westpac threw me.

Bundaberg, Australia
