Guess where I have been....

[tiler65]

A nice picture with the kit lens. It is a nice lens to carry around when you are half drunk from a long lunch and need to take some photos.

Could be the start of A NEW QUIZ/CONTEST if the response is positive.

Thanks for looking.

[nuffink]

Prague???

[dod]

The Dog and Duck? :shrug:

[tiler65]

No

[nigelcampbell]

Looks like Lisbon to me

[tiler65]

Lisbon it is......

choose the next guess where i have been please Nigel

[Lady Pitstop]

ermmm ..... on the other side of the road??? :lol:

oops too late - you've already guessed!:bonk:

[nigelcampbell]

http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/gallery/data/500/Where.jpg

Now Where have I been?

[Yv]

Cyprus?

[InaGlo]

Errrr... Turkey?




Btw, Have moved this to general, if ongoing no longer suits transport ;)

[Shorn]

Russia maybe ?

[DiddyDave]

On a boat in Doncaster?

[Jonbon]

Not exactly tough, theres a flag :P

[DiddyDave]

Flag yea, same as over the church in Toll Bar, Doncaster - easy

[nigelcampbell]

InaGlo - you have the country right - now all you need is a city. :)

[Marcel]

Instanbul?

[nigelcampbell]

give that man a banana!! :D

You are correct it's Kiz Kulesi (Leander's Tower) in the middle of the Bosphorus in Istanbul. It has a great restauraunt there and was also used as a location in "The World is not Enough" (or the last bad Bond film as we now call it) where Judi Dench was imprisoned.

Your turn Marcel

[InaGlo]

Arrrggghh! to sloooow ..... and so wrong!:lol:

[Marcel]

Well that was a complete lucky guess. The only city in Turkey I've heard of....

I'll be fair and give it to Glo this time (especially considering Im not very well travelled).....
Best I could offer is t'pie shop in town.

[nigelcampbell]

Still a good guess - I travel the world for work and spend half my life in airports and on planes - my carbon footprint is huge!! :eek:

Over to you InaGlo

[InaGlo]

Okey doke.

Bit rubbish ... first ever night shot....

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f93/Glorsclaws/wherehaveIbeen1.jpg

[pswillies]

That'll be Venice... St Marks to be more precise.

[Organic]

Las Vegas I'd say. The venetian hotel.

[InaGlo]

That'll be Venice... St Marks to be more precise.

[nigelcampbell]

Come on be more specific! (Lexington and E79th Street for example)

[Hacker]

[ben g]

Well done!:clap:
I don't think anyone will get the exact location. Its at the top of Doi Suthep (Thailands highest mountain), near Chiang Mai.
Your turn!:thumbs:

[InaGlo]

OOOh!!!!! :embarrassed:

Erm as I dont have anything to hand taken with my DSLR, I'll run with Susane's idea and post one from my bro .... doesnt tell too much but his others are really obvious ;)

http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f93/Glorsclaws/Cuba.jpg

[Jimmy_Lemon]

Nope sorry :)

[2blue4u]

Dalyan, Turkey

[richie]

Dalyan, Turkey


Well done, its the Rock Tombs :clap:

[2blue4u]

You may have to identify what this is - then it should be easy to work out where it is.

http://www.pointblue.net/x100/mystery.jpg

[HIMUPNORTH]

Is this a Blackbird? It was at Mildenhall once when active but now? Farnborough?

:shrug:

[2blue4u]

Good spot - but no. It's the A12, the precursor of both the SR-71 and the YF-12.

But where is it? There are clues in the picture.

[Marcel]

Your local UPS depot? I thought they only used vans? :thinking:

[Yv]

Well I am going to hazard a guess its somewhere in the States....California? :shrug:

[Hacker]

I believe that is on the Intrepid, an aircraft carrier on display in New York which is now a museum. It was also used as the FBI Operations Centre following the 9/11 attacks on the Twin Towers. Fascinating place to visit if you ever get the chance.

I hope I'm right after that. :D

[Yv]

Welded floor plates, chains.....Colin, I hate you! :razz::lol:

[2blue4u]

the clues were welded floor plates = metal = carrier and a display stand and the public wandering around.

Spot on, Mr Hacker, sir.

[Hacker]

http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/silkstone/photos/d1.jpg

[silkstone]

Too obscure? :thinking:

A few clues....

It's on an island in the same direction as Iceland, but not as far.

I've mentioned the place in another thread today.

The church tower is (I think) unique.

There are some brightly painted buildings a few miles away.

:D
