This should be pretty easy. Where is this? (The file name is a trick.)
Attachment 37618

Yes, I've been there. While not close to home, it's about 90 minutes away. It was built as a guard post around 1750 (at least that's what is said) so it belongs one or another Ministry probably Culture or may beDefense. Hence no one lives there.

It might be open in summer for tourism purpose.

spiral jetty north of the Great Salt Lake in Utah ?

well done!

OK.. My turn now. Shouldn't be too difficult

Calvaire de l'enclos paroissial de Sainte-Marie-du-Ménez-Hom en Bretagne.

Wrong answer... but you're not that far.

1 rue Jean Fournier, 29200 Plougastel Daoulas, France

(Edit: Here's the place.)

That's my mother birth town. I, too, lived there from age 4 to 21.

Nice place!

Now, Gun.
I spent half a term in a French village within the shadow of the Puy de Dome.
The village proper was on a hill.
I was boarded in the new houses further down, where young boys buzzed about on farty little bikes, without helmets.

You paid two different prices when buying a soft drink depending on whether you would be returning the bottle or not.
The lady in the boulangerie/ patisserie spoke good English and called in half the street to hear it. They were very kind to me.
There was an abandoned vineyard close to the cetre of the village, also a fountain in the main square.

It was 30-40 miles outside of Clemont Ferrand, although I can't be sure as all the signs were in km's. As was the milometer :)

Also the school served a block of truly revolting cheese every day with the set lunch.
I mean I was picky then, so I didn't appreciate the main course - which I might like now. But I thought at least I'd have the bread and cheese. GRIM! It was hard and tastless, apart from a vague flavour of old socks. Who knows - I might regard it as a delicacy now.

Where is it?

Not serious of course.
I just can't remember the name.
Now that we have Google Earth I'd love to look at the place again. I was desperately unhappy at the time, but even then I acknowledged that it was gorgeous. My diary was full of descriptions of the Autumn fields and walls, the village of old stone on its hill and the views.

And how how I fancied G- R- and was terrified he would snog someone else before I got back.

[Aside] He didn't, but we didn't get back together. He dated a teen model next. Seems he liked skinny girls with small tits (mine were finally growing by then)
He came out when he was at Uni.

Where?

Ball's Pyramid, Australia?

:) yep!

I got it from googling 'big giant rock in the ocean' :)

No, you may not.

OICU did one anyway.

Sorry - should I delete it?

Yes please.

where?

omg...he deleted it.

I was joking. Were you seriously asking for permission, and why?

:lol:

I thought if you guessed it was YOUR turn! grumble mumble grumble ...
You think I saved it huh? You'd be wrong. :(

I could magically undelete it, you know ...

I'm so sorry. I was really joking. I didn't think there was any protocol as to posting next. Really, I am so sorry. Can you find the pic again anyway?

Wolf - Let gravs go. Not that big a deal.
I just thought IM had a pic ready and thats why she wanted me to delete it.
So I did. Just me being a triple fucking prick again.

That must make you real popular with the ladies ...

Tell me again how I got in this?

Gunmaster, that looks like one of those caves in Mexico, but you always post stuff from France. Is this another place in Brittany?

That's for you to find.

And no, it's not in Mexico.

Next time, I'll use a wider area.

Just killed an hour.

Uncle.

Aww, come on, don't I get a FTFY? :lol:

Gouffre De Padirac in France.

Google search that worked for me: cavern stairs descend elevator

That's right, gtown. A very beautiful place.

My first "Where is this" so this will either be simple or impossible...

I've tried numerous approaches and have had no luck. Tricky one.

No idea, but I get the feeling that it would be unwise to piss off the locals.

looks eastern European to me

It's wherever they made Children of The Corn. Iowa or whatever.

I think this is a difficulty of 10 since it's not a well known location/object, just something cool I saw once.
Here are two more pics (my own, the first onewas from online) with a few more clues (including a partially scribbled town name) if you want to dig.

This one's gonna be the death of me.

Austria.

Are they ice hooks?

I think Austrian city signs are blue bordered and German city signs are yellow.

Bruce and Spexxvet: Nein!

The OP on the license plate probably stands for Opladen, Germany, and the .....gen on the sign is probably Ratingen, a neighboring town.

That may be true about OP, but I've also seen New York license plates in Boston.

Somewhere between Nuremberg, Germany and the Czech boarder ?

No, though that area is a bit closer to it than Opladen.

Böblingen, Germany, according to this page

Edit: and here's a picture

Good job glatt! That was hard. I wonder if I would've found that image using the german word for sickle.

skulptur sichel was the search term that worked for me

very well done. What finally led you to it?

Some more links:

well, English wasn't working and sichel by itself wasn't working, but sichel skulptur turned up one image and it said where it was taken.

How many times I tried variations with 'sickle sculpture' in the search term. :)

I went off on a snipe hunt by the sign pointing to "U6 ->" in this photo :)

U6 and smart were both dead ends. Funny how the path to success always looks obvious when you see it laid out for you. Of course! Sickle sculpture in German. I feel dumb that it took me so long.

This one was a difficult one. But a good one.

where is this?
