Where Is It? Game

OK. Here's the thread where a picture is posted up and first person to get it correct posts the next one.

It can be anywhere but keep it general enough so someone should get it!

OK. Easy one to start.



PS. Honour system means you don't look at the image address!

going by the flag, i'd say america 


wall street?

going by the flag, i'd say america 


wall street?

Nope. I guess the city will do. It's one of the most famous hotels in America and has featured in heaps of movies.

manhattan i think. is that the one from home alone 2?

my guess is that its 032-waldorf-astoria-hotel-new-york-city-pictures

manhattan i think. is that the one from home alone 2?

Not sure but it's in New York so you win.

my guess is that its 032-waldorf-astoria-hotel-new-york-city-pictures

ok. not sure how many of you people have been out in the country but if you have been here you wouldn't have forgotten it...

I don't see a picture!

Are they up Pt Wakefield Rd?

nah i know them ones but these aren't them.

Woomera.

Woomera.

ah yeah!

I won't be aroud for a bit now, so google your answer if you think you have it.



*Hint: Not in Australia.

going by the horses and the rolling hills..... i'll say Mongolia

WRONG

hang on a minute. natho you didn't answer my question correctly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

edit - slight blame on kurko too

aiiit.... on the way into woomera from south on sturt highway?


ps: i was not confirming, just going 'oh yeah, i seen them before!"   (whoops)

negative

Sorry, thought it was Kurko who asked the question. I have no idea then. I could have sworn it was Woomera.

this is killing me 

ps: nath, was it Mongolia? 

Yep. I've always wanted to go to the Steppes.

i take it nobody here has been down the oodnadatta track? shame!

is it andamooka or something?

where is it?

spill the beans tupps!!

alberrie creek, along the oodnadatta track after maree.

someone else can ask away.

i see those red x's all the time.

usually in old porn links. do i win?

i see those red x's all the time.

usually in old porn links. do i win?

Serious? I hate that! It's working here...

I'll find another link.

LD's parents house?

isn't that where jessica mauboy's from?

again at josh.

OK, here's a clue. It's affiliated with the Hindu religion but it's not in India.

It is however in an Asian country with a high percentage of Indian minority in the population.

malaysia?

malaysia?

Bingo.

Just give me it's name or the city it's in and you're good to go.

hrmmm big guess but is it kuala lumpur?

sure it's not. lol.

hrmmm big guess but is it kuala lumpur?

sure it's not. lol.

Yeah it is actually! Not too far out of the city centre and still in urbanised areas there's a bunch of mountains housing the Batu Caves, an ancient religious site which also has the tallest idol of it's type in the world. Cool place to see, climbing the stairs is a good slog though!

awesome.

no one? surely people have driven past there before.

I haven't, but I want to!

it's great fun as a kid.

i'll give a hint then.

think worcestershire sauce. it's also in nsw...

liverpool?

Dad says Sheffield?

nope and nope.

again, think worcestershire sauce.

Holbrooks?

Sauce?

Embalming Fluid?

Holbrooks?

indeed it is mate.

indeed it is mate.

pfft, not sketchy enough imo

pfft, not sketchy enough imo

 

I got excited for a sec thinking it was Holbrooks Rd. Was gonna take the kids there on the weekend.

Cool. I thought I'd been there before too but seeing as it's in NSW it's highly doubtful.\

Next:

that's where they have the love parade, in Berlin yeah?

I was thinking the gates that joined East & West Germany but that's just a guess.

If that's right then so is Fluke.

Brandenberg gates innit?

All 3 of you are correct.

Fluke was first & seeing as the thread is called Where Is It? then the correct answer would be Berlin.

woo hoo!

okay new one!!

image not archived: 0,,6081636,00.gif

Looks like Rosina Street in Ads yea??

Looks like Rosina Street in Ads yea??

yep

Where was the previous one man? It looked kind of familiar. Canada?

Perito Moreno Glacier in Argentine Patagonia.

Perito Moreno Glacier in Argentine Patagonia.

Ooo Patagonia. As a kid I always thought that was a made-up country in Disney's Ducktales like Duckburg or something.

I thought that of timbuktu

John L one more please!!!

shiiiiiiiiieeeeet

sorry



should be an easy one

Macchu Picchu, Peru

Yes it was easy hehe.

No idea but the style of building makes me think Bhutan.

Transexual, Transylvania

Choeng Ek

Is that Rio De Janeiro, Brazil?

I'm thinking Cape Town.

Is that Rio De Janeiro, Brazil?

Yup - Ipanema Beach to be exact.

That pointy rock is the one I went gliding off too   



PS: for those that don't know, Choeng Ek is better known as "The Killing Fields" of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge. That building Glock posted contains thousands of bludgeoned skulls of the innocent, slaughtered under the regime.

The reason I thought it was Cape Town.....



The two beaches look rather similar.

PS: for those that don't know, Choeng Ek is better known as "The Killing Fields" of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge. That building Glock posted contains thousands of bludgeoned skulls of the innocent, slaughtered under the regime.

Yep, frickin gruesome as.

thats on the river in Jingers, no?

thats on the river in Jingers, no?

Jingers? Never heard of that nickname...please elaborate...

Beijing

Beijing

Duhhh.

That never occurred to me lol.

Same country, different city.

Bah! I always get those two mixed up (Beijing and Shanghai).

It's Shanghai then, isn't it.

Yep. Shanghai 101/Shanghai World Financial Center on the right and Jin Tao Tower on the left.

The former is the second tallest building in the world.

Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao, Spain?

Edit: It isn't that, some similar artsy architect's wet dream though I'm sure.

nah, that's not it.

Guggenheim is mental though!

It's the art gallery in Rio De Janeiro isn't it?

It's the art gallery in Rio De Janeiro isn't it?

sure is. Museum of Modern Art, Rio De Janeiro

seen a doco on the making of that. if my brain worked i would have remembered where it was. kind of thinking france ish.

yeah pretty sure it's in france. definitely saw the making of it on megastructures.

France it is.

is that in a theme park in Ho Chi Minh City?

There's theme parks in Ho Chi Minh city???

Probably thinly disguised commie propaganda parks more like it.

BTW it's not in HCMC...I'm surprised you haven't got this actually...you have mentioned before your love of this country. It is a rather artsy shot of this though, I picked it for that reason to make it a little harder...

yeah i went to a theme park in Ho Chi Minh, check out the dodgyness on my facebook pics  >>  http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=56297&id=704652535


okay then, i reckon it's that 'Arc de Triumph' monument at the end of the main road in Vientiane at the roundabout near the Post Office in the centre of town 

Yep it's the Patuxay (Victory Gate) in Vientiane, Laos. I just came back from there 2 days ago. First time in Laos, it's pretty nice but alas I had no time to check out anywhere other than a little bit of Vientiane.

I laughed at this on the wikipedia article I snagged the pic from:

clearly, on the wall of some new-age bimbo's lounge room wall

It was Erawan Falls in Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand, set it up for Glock but to no avail. Here is another pic of the place, which is absolutely stunning.







Continuing on the falls tip:

image not archived: brasilien_2005_iguazu_11.jpg

When are you moving there?

Indiana Jones movie??

Seriously though, I don't know so I will hazard a guess at Egypt Valley of the Kings?

Petra, Jordan

Awesome that's the Proclamation Tree in Glenelg, SA if I'm not mistaken...

I'm going to be making my picks a bit easier from now on to keep this thread alive a bit more...

Here we go...

yeah it's the Old Gum Tree

does your pic happen to be the Sistine Chapel?

Sure is!

tricky angle....

The Golden Gate bridge?

yup, but where is it?  :P

it's yours

Rightio, one from my own collection.

Prague?

Budapest?

Bern

You got it, Josh!

I need to look at my travel pics but I swear there is a clock in Bern that looks exactly the same.

Well it is close

Josh...?

looks like early migrants to me.

no fucking idea where that would be though. guessing the BV somewhere or up around hahndorf, but yeah, total guess.

California, U.S?

That it is. But I would like a more specific answer just to be a prick.

aiii then.

angaston?

Aah fuck it. I knew I shouldn't have answered a question in this thread because I really can't be arsed with it.

In order to save myself from having to keep coming in here, the actual answer is Menglers Hill. As this is indeed in the BV it's all yours Chris.

haha. sensational.

Kangaroo Island?

Tasmania?

Enchanted?

GTFO!

 

Should you need one of them btw.

if that's in australia i think i have been there. if it's not lets just pretend i didn't say this 

haha. it's definitely in australia tim. have a crack mate.

Pretty sure it's the DnB room at Sedan Enchanted.

 

That's not one of those old ruiny places around Semaphore is it? Big stab here.

i'm kind of thinking denham in western australia. reckon we went there on our last boys trip. where all the stromatolites and shit are...i think i may have peed right near that ruin...

nah not denham tim. on the right track though with your thinking.

come on guys. it's in wa and on the nullabor plain.

Eucla?

yes indeedy

Hah! What a guess. And I used to live near there.

Guess where this is. It may be a bit obscure, but here's a hint. It's a delightful place.

Turkey!

Yep!
Istanbul to be exact. You're up!

BALI MUTHAFUCKA!!!

funny enough i may know? As being a big Jessica Simpson fan, she is from Texas and I have a article from a couple years ago that shows that clock?? (or similar maybe) Texas University??? otherwise no idea except an american landmark??

Yes you are right! It's the University Of Texas clock tower, made infamous by Charles Whitman shooting a bunch of people from it 40 odd years ago (as referenced in the movie Full Metal Jacket).

'i think the book depository would be a good bet'

whispering wall, Williamstown

image not archived: image

good job! double points for quickness!!


image not archived: thdrumbass.jpg

Must be the bungee tower at that Bali club right?

your up glock

Hint: It's in a major US city starting with C.

Chicago?

Yeah mate.

I don't know if this is right but I want to go there! Santorini or Dubrovnik?

hmm i reckon yer right on the Dalmation coast tip, but i reckon a smaller place - like Split

Nein to everything! (and no the nein does not hint it is Germany) haha

Pretty close though with those guesses though

Is that Portofino in Italy?

Nope, but getting closer though!

French Riviera?

nope colder...

croatia?

DING DING DING! Well hotdog we have a weiner!

Rovinj, Croatia it is! You're up!

lolfuck


if i knew the answer could be that general...

hahaha sorry...

i just ask for country. I didn't think anywhere in Croatia would be "simple" enough.

where is

woomera?

kurko wins

Auschwitz or something of that ilk?

ding ding

wish i went there in the winter time, looks unreal

It'd be extra depressing then as well I'd think.

Brooklyn Bridge, NYC

Yes!

i saw a doco on NYC the other week. i had always wanted to go there cos i figured it would be an amazing place, but after seeing the doco, i now have an idea of how unfathomably good it must be.


nice easy one...

image not archived: 266437550_30cdf42921_z.jpg

ummmmmmmmmmm, MCG - I mean Adelaide Oval??
I'm having trouble working out how to put a picture in my post, any helpers??

nice juan


type [img*]http://web address here[/img]  but get rid of the *

Poland?

i couldn't get that to work, i can't work it out

Paste your picture link just as text into your post. Make sure you right click and select "Copy image address" from wherever you get it and not "Copy" as that won't copy the actual address.

Eg. http://www.adelaidemassive.com/Images/am_logo.gif

Then select/highlight that URL text and hit that little picture button up the top:

Easy.

some one else?

Hmmm this is a hard one...could it be Woomera!

is that harry potter in the front?

 


Some more info to help out: This statue depicts an historic and tragic event that changed a certain country's political landscape.

OK, that one was a statue in Makati City, Philippines, depicting the final moments of politician Beningo Aquino Jr. before he was assassinated presumably by the Marcos regime due to his being the leader of the opposing political party.

So now, an easier one:

Louvre, Paris

another easy one
image not archived: 507165mainimage18288006.jpg

Is that a space shuttle launchpad? Cape Canaveral, Florida, USA?

Mount Fuji?

Yes! As located in..?

camera land...

I think Cait got it Glock.



 

I know, just being clever.

 

image not archived: new-orleans.jpg

That looks like New Orleans, Louisiana, USA.

Sure is!

OK looks like I'm up:

image not archived: 2lm760o.jpg

Is that in WA?

Im really looking for something more specific!

South West... Karri forest? Pinjarra?

None of those two but it is in the SW. Place has a pretty cool name.

OK it was the Valley of the Giants (Treetop Walk) in Walpole, South West WA.

Cait youre up!

i am going to take a massive stab in the dark here... is it carnaby street?

LOL Was gonna go there but then thought like yeah-nah

Is it Champs Élysées in Paris?

The suburb it's in, you dopey bastards!

small office home office?

London? 

Haha, Yes Matt. No Oli. 

Pic doesn't load within the forum but it's the Rosina st mega carpark.

Pic displays ok for me?

OK well done - Ollie up!

it displays once you visit the shortened bit.ly link, but the forum normally wont display it unless the link you put in ends in a jpg/gif/png etc

Denmark?

Nope.

Tip 1: It's inhabitable.
Tip 2: It overlooks a lake with shorelines on three European countries.

I can see Burgmuseum on that sign so it's likely a German speaking country. I'll guess Austria.

Nope, it's in Germany. You can see Switzerland across the lake though!

It was built (at least the oldest part of it) in the 7th century. (!!!)

I reckon that place was used in a movie I saw once...some kind of teen comedy thing. What's its name?

Maybe it was... Not sure

Either way it's the 'Burg Meersburg'. I have toured through it - very impressive. Wish I could live in there.
