If GunMaster357 and infinite monkey don't mind, I'm going to take another turn. :)
Have fun... |
Red bus and driving on left says it's London.
|
Don't mind a'tall, gtown. :)
I had found a picture when I was looking for the wiener sickles, but later on I couldn't remember where it came from. Searching turned up nothing. Ha! |
Funny thing is that it looks like a building model
|
GunMaster357: Good point. I think that's because it was taken through a window and zoomed in with a (relatively cheap) digital camera.
glatt: London's Brilliant but is not where this is. |
Is it Beijing?
|
Not Beijing. As a bonus, it's not Peking either. :)
That's 2 cities down! |
Birmingham (United Kingdom) has red buses too.
But then so has Christchurch (New Zealand). And Vienna (Austria). |
That's 3 more cities eliminated from contention...
|
Then it has to be Tokyo.:3eye:
|
Quite possibly Japan, the general style of the architecture feels right, and while I don't remember any red buses, that red sedan with the white bonnet ("hood") reminds me of some Japanese taxis. And the shot is from a very tall building.
I doubt it is Tokyo, though, not enough people or traffic. |
Tokyo it is, can you find the building?

OK, I'll play but only if I can use one of my images.
:D |
Well, those look like saguaro in the background, which really limits it.
|
Could be on west coast of southern Africa (e.g., Angola, Nambia, South Africa)
|
Upper Zimbabwe
|
Africa, huh? Possible. Chris has been there.
|

I'll go with the west coast of Nambia.
This is the closest I've come using terms of architecture + location... |
chris will be back with your answer when he returns from a Nova Scotia/South Australia tour.
Thank you for your patience. :lol: |
It's the Alto Vista chapel in Aruba.
If you search for: africa chapel cactus in google image search, it will pop right up. |
Good job, glatt.
Sigh...Aruba. Look at that water. Look at that relaxation. Look at it. Just LOOK at it! |
Quote:
I went up to the chapel just after sunrise and shot this using my 15mm fisheye lens. |

I was bequeathed the official key, as classic was going to be offline for a bit.
It is Palau. But you could be a bit more specific. (Like how I refrained from saying more pacific?) |
I dunno, it's just a bunch of islands.
Mechercher? Ngeruktabel? Kokor? |
Is he close enough, classic?
It's a reefer. |
Looks like Velasco Reef North of Palau.
|
Close enough.
Helen Island, Helen Reef, Palau. |

Well. It's been a minute since we done one of these.
So, without further ado: Where is this? Attachment 40459 I'll check on you kids late tonight, or see ya tomorrow. Remember, no cheating. |
Baatara gorge waterfall in Lebanon(!?).
|
No idea, but .... :eek: whoahhhh!
|
Way to go Gtown!! It is indeed the Baatara Gorge Waterfall.
To get a better sense of scale, the drop is 837 feet. Winnerbuysbreakfastwhat? |
Mad lurking skills, also, Gtown!

Thanks, I lurk with the best of them. After a few tries I found "waterfall hole gorge" in image search as the winner.
In lieu of breakfast, here's an image... |
Random guess..... Area 51.
|
No, of course it's not, move along, nothing to see here.
butseriouslyitsnotarea51 |
Area 52?
Are those camouflaged radomes? Looks like a small prison. |
Reminds me of the scene of the final battle from a zombie movie. Like Resident Evil, or some such creature.
|
Liechtenstein's cosmodrome?
|
Not enough info in the pic for me to go on.
Hintage? |
|
I'm thinking about helping out in that project. I was reading about it the other day.
Now, to figger out that hint. |
Given the Wiki project reference, and your location, I'm guessing it's somewhere in Texas.
Does it concern detention, or space? |
Nah, Texas would be too obvious. That just leaves 60 states/territories to choose from:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_RHPs |
If I had a guess - and I'm going to - I'd say somewhere in new mexico? Looks pretty desolate but green. Are those crops or just grass and stuff? Looks like some kind of dam in the distance, so I'm wondering about cultivation.
|
Not New Mexico (or an adjoining state).
Not spacey, but definitely sciencey. |
I've been there. Idaho. Part of the Idaho National Laboratory...those two gizmos in the parking lot are prototype nuclear aircraft engines. There's a decommissioned reactor in the building. Now just an interpretive historical site.
|
Winner!
Experimental Breeder Reactor I, the world's first electricity-generating nuclear power plant and U.S. National Historic Landmark. |

Where (what?) is this?
|
Oh, brother, another "where art thou?" post. But I'm probably not on the right track and I don't want to derail the thread, so I'll hand the cart back to you.

It does put you in mind of that movie, of course. Which is a bonus!
Hint: What's that you're ridin' there Tommy? And the answer isn't roll-top desk. ;) |
Hand cart for section hands
|
It is a hand cart. But where/on what?
|
Are they just outside of Rock Ridge?
Quote:
|
I don't know. They could be anywhere...we could track them the whole way.
|
Well, they are on a track. At a junction switch. In the middle of a flat plain.
|
Is it where the Eastern lot met the Western lot when they built the trans-continental railroad?
|

Well, this was a vague 'where is this' round but I found the pictures so compelling I thought it might be interesting. It's the Union Pacific Railroad in 1867. This is primarily Kansas.
