You're not the one doing what? :confused:

All I'm saying, if you want to thwart cheating (um, I mean, taking advantage of hidden opportunities) that those playing this game might want to "save as" something like 587464687897 or "no peeking" or "no, no info here."

I always looked at the "properties" of the picture and THAT points to the cellar. It's the 'save as' that brings up whatever you saved the picture as before you uploaded to the Cellar. Often if you leave it as is, the name of the picture is right there.

Yeah, I almost always download the picture I want to use and sanitize the name when I save it. I give it an obvious name devoid of clues.

It goes against the spirit of this game to use file names to find something.

The arctic orthodox church picture was neat, because I stumbled across a bunch of fun images as I was trying different searches.

Spex, how did you come up with that image originally?

I came across a neat place while word googling for that place too.

To the Japanese, tea ceremonies are a significant custom that speak of their very culture and values, it represents Sen no Rikyu’s principles of purity, tranquility, harmony and respect. With this philosophy in mind, it is no wonder that architect Terunobu Fujimori has created a tea house devoted to the intricate practice of tea making and drinking. The structure is a 2.7 square metre building padded with bamboo mats and made of plaster and bamboo. To reach it guests must climb a ladder leaning against one of two chestnut tree trunks. The refuge amongst the trees of Chino makes for a perfect place to surrender to calmness and meditation, the ideal elements associated with tea ceremonies.

I'm a Hobbit, at heart, except taller. I could wander around Google Earth for hours. I read a reference to Svalbard somewhere, sometime, and that lead me to look around and find Longyearbyen, and then Saint Nick at Nagurskoye. Yeah, it's a fascinating time-waster.:blush:

That's a cool house, but I would definitely fall off it and die.

Have you ever noticed how tropical cities are mostly drab and dull, while northern cities are colorful? Dust? Wealth? I don't know.

Dudes! We are failing to name Gunmaster's church(?). I'm guessing it is some kind of sailor's cathedral... maybe commemorating a wreck or multiple loses.

All I can figure out is they are called 1 and 2.

Yeah. Looks like Northern France. Not the UK, since the cars are on the right side of the road. Coastal village with that anchor. Dreary weather.

The anchor looks like a very early design. If I knew architecture there are clues in that low walled design...

Could it be Newfoundland too, don't they drive on the other side of the road as well?

You'd surrender to calmness and meditation. Perfect tea ceremony whether you reach the hut or not!

Right about the commemoration of wreckages and sailors.

But it's just a small church, not a cathedral.

I did a Google Image search on Architecture Britanny and found this image of Sailors Last Hope (Cokebuster)

Is it the same place ?

(If it is, I still don't know where it is !)
