A two-fer this time.

What/Where is this? Either or.

Attachment 49136

Remember: No "drag'n'drop", or, TinEye-type image searches.

Google "big balanced rock india" FTW:

http://www.amusingplanet.com/2013/11...g-rock-at.html

You are correct!

For the too-lazy-to-click-the-link-and-learn-something, it's Krishna's Butter Ball, in Mahabalipuram, India.

I used "giant balanced rock" when I searched it. I had to look at more than two pics, though.;)

:D

Some other cool balancing rocks:

And if that doesn't get your rocks off there's more.

Where is this?
Attachment 49361

Table Mountain, South Africa?

No. Sorry.

quite interesting and so many questions! Why put pavement out to there, except maybe to access that pipeline looking thingee running down the left to nowhere, what is the little building for, why does the pavement need to be so wide at the end and what uses the dirt trail around the left that can't drive on the pavement....???

Runway.

Where James Kirk wrecked his Dad's '65 Vette?

seems like pretty nice asphalt up there for it to get small so quickly and have whatever that is on the left. Dangerous is one thing but this looks like suicide unless you're in a helicopter...

For what that place was used for, you most certainly did NOT want to be in a helicopter.

Yeah, I cheated.

Hurricane Mesa Airport, UT?

Yes. Except it's not an airport. It's a test "track" (really rails) for testing ejection seats in jets. They go hurling towards the cliff and over the edge.

Attachment 49362

Hurricane Mesa, Utah is correct.

This should be fairly easy.

Where is this?

Attachment 49413

Panama Ship Canal.

Possibly...

Different canal

It's not the Suez, and it definitely isn't the Manchester Ship Canal, so unless a flash of inspiration flies across the Carruthers Cranium in the next few seconds, I'll retire from the fray.

Will lurk to see if anyone has any better luck. Meanwhile, off to see if the Badgers have churned up the lawn again.

Corinth Canal, Greece?

Yeah!

Yay me!

:cheerldr:

One for all Dwellars at breakfast time on the Eastern Seaboard.

Get your thinking muscles into gear for the challenges of the day ahead with this one.

Attachment 49419

Is that the Jodrell Bank live music venue? It must beam its performances to Arcturus for the Arturians' pleasure.

Attachment 49421

If you'll just give me a couple of minutes to find my cheque book, the $64,000 prize will be on its way to you.

Well done, sir!



Jodrell Bank Observatory

OK, have a go at this one.

A Google search for [stone arch viaduct] brings up pictures of Ribblehead Viaduct in North Yorkshire UK

Pretty.

That's the one. It's OK up there in the summer, but winters can be lethal.

Street View - Ribblehead Viaduct.

Settle - Carlisle Railway.

This would be worth posting in its own right, but I thought I'd make a 'Where is this?' out of it.

http://s30.postimg.org/9n30qqeld/Capture.jpg

Looks like an English flag.

Good start, Bruce.

Reminds me of this scene.

Which is to say that I think it's Durham Viaduct in the foreground and Durham Cathedral in the background.

And tonight's winner is:

Mr Glatt of Arlington, Virginia!

That's another $64,000 I owe you. Have you heard about our (my) economic situation? :D

I'm not sure how this one will go, but...

Where is this?

Attachment 49535

And, no, "the ocean" will not do.

Teahupoo, Tahiti

http://www.surfblogspot.com/index.ph...e-is-teahupoo/

Kudos Gtown!!

It is the break off Teahupo'o, Tahiti.

Good job Gtown, I wasn't sure this one would get solved.

:thumb:

I've seen that pic before so thought I could find it again. While I believed it wasn't a major storm event (water too calm, lot of people bunched together and more curiosity than panic) I still searched for "surfing tsunami" and sure enough it was mis-labelled that in a few places. That then led me to a Snopes discussion page with the answer:

Cool. I like seeing what peoples' thought processes were like in cases like this.

Where oh where is this?
Attachment 49541

Cambodia?

Not Cambodia, or anywhere else in Asia.

South America, then?

Is this a picture from the future? The seas rise, Dubai becomes tropical and Burj Khalifa is covered in volcanic ash? You maniacs, you blew it up! Damn you all to hell!

I thought that sounded familiar, just couldn't place where. Found it.:D

Easter Island?

As the tree said to the lumberjack, I just don't know. All my searches keep bringing up China or Minecraft...

Not South America or Easter Island.

But it is on an island

Jurassic Park, Dominican Republic

Not Dominican Republic. Real or imaginary.

Here's another, clearer view.

Attachment 49542

Looking at the vegetation, I'd say it was tropical.

As we know it's on an island I'll try to narrow it down to the Caribbean.... somewhere.

Not Caribbean. That spiky mountain is all that is left of a volcano that formed this island. The rest of the mountain eroded over time and the lava plug is all that is left.

I'll take the island name or the mountain name.

Well, if we're talking volcanic islands I suppose that any of these would fit the bill:

Hawaii

Azores

Canaries

Ascension (Probably not)

None of those.

I'm going to admit defeat on this one. I can only suggest that it might be Devils Tower's long lost brother.

(Devils or Devil's? Opinion seems to be divided. Anyway, a side issue of little matter).

Brazil? Fernando de Noronha?

Cão Grande on Sao tome and principe?

:cheerldr:
