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 ?

gtown · 03-13-2012, 10:36 AM

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

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

glatt · 03-13-2012, 10:58 AM

skulptur sichel was the search term that worked for me

gtown · 03-13-2012, 10:59 AM

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.

infinite monkey · 03-13-2012, 11:11 AM

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

glatt · 03-13-2012, 11:41 AM

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.

It's an ancient fortress built 1500 years ago in Siberia

GunMaster357 · 03-13-2012, 04:08 PM

More precisely : Tere-Khol', Tuva, Russia

Por Bajin

Quote:

Deep inside Siberia there is a lake, one of thousands others. And in the middle of this lake there is a small island. And on this island people have found an ancient fortress, which is dated more than 1500 years old.

Quote:

Por-Bajin - stronghold in the Eastern Siberia, built in the VIII century A.D. on an island of lake Tere-Hole. Some consider this stronghold to be a temple and call it 'Russian Shaolin'. Others believe that this construction serves as the northern gates to sacred place Schambala. Por-Bajin is translated form Tuva language as 'clay house'. It's mostly built of clay bricks. The monument has complex structure - inside the regular rectangle of walls there is a whole labyrinth of buildings, which look like as a buddhistic or induistic temple. The walls forms the regular rectangle with side sizes 211x158 metres.
