Where Is This? - Page 34

Nope.

TheMercenary · 11-26-2011, 02:12 PM

Darn, looks sort of like it.

Westminster Cathedral?

Sundae · 11-26-2011, 02:15 PM

Nope (that's a steaky bacon type building).
But it's not Wesminster Abbey either.

footfootfoot · 11-26-2011, 02:29 PM

That's the place in The Prisoner where he goes after he escapes. It's near Big Ben I think.

In fact, I think that's Big Ben

No that was a stupid guess, there's no clock in that picture and as Wikipedia points out, Big Ben is at Westminster so I give up.

I'll take Clam Knives for $200 please.

Sundae's going to Glasgow and probably has it on her mind.

I haven't found the same pic, but I'm guessing Glasgow University ????

Sundae · 11-26-2011, 03:05 PM

You have it Lamp!
It's the main University Building, taken across a snowy Kelvingrove Park.
You could only find exactly the same photo on here, as it's one I took on our GTG last year.

I deliberately chose a personal photo to make it harder to track down.
But it's a well known building architecturally, so it wasn't stupidly hard (like a picture of my school).

I hadn't seen that kind of open lattice work in steeples/ towers before I went to Scotland. It's quite distinctive.

Lamplighter · 11-26-2011, 03:25 PM

Yeah, I finally got my post in before the experts on here...

OK, here is one that might require a bit of detective work.

Versailles?

TheMercenary · 11-26-2011, 03:40 PM

Group of international flags, double decker bus, Nazi flag on the top, Berlin?

Sundae · 11-26-2011, 03:42 PM

Good call!
Even if it isn't right, it does have an Olympic feel to it.

Griff · 11-26-2011, 03:47 PM

Yeah seems more likely, but I can't put together a search for those nudes.

Lamplighter · 11-26-2011, 03:51 PM

Yeah for the teamwork... keep going on that track

TheMercenary · 11-26-2011, 04:03 PM

With the international flags I can only guess Berlin 1939 Olympics. Just don't know where.

Lamplighter · 11-26-2011, 04:09 PM

Yes Merc, Berlin Olympics, but it was 1936

The statues were in a plaza in front of the ..... football stadium

TheMercenary · 11-26-2011, 04:16 PM

"Monument at the Sports Field of the Reich in Berlin. The promotion of sports during the Nazi regime went hand-in-hand with theatrical nationalistic triumphalism."

Finally found it. That was a tough one. Well done Lamp.
