Game Time - Part Four

Carol I will be more than happy to get the next round started knowing I owe you one!
Sorry to hear about your power issues!

Does this picture light up anyone's past trips...
Ok... Bad pun... I know

Hey, I'm back online. Sort of.

Don't think it's right, but Ocracoke?

Nope - not North Carolina

Head South!

Key West?
Edit:
Nope, compared to photos in my house, don’t think it is Bone Island - but close

JPH

Nope not Key West...

Keep heading South!

Ok. I’ll say Panama. Far enough south?

Is that the Dry Tortugas? Seems like they have
a bunch of light houses there??

Both good guesses

One guess the latitude is too far north
One guess the latitude is too far south

Both guesses the longitude if too far west
of course one more than other....

Surfs Up!

St Croix.

Lo siento mi amigo…
El faro no está en St Croix, pero estás cerca!


BTW - we have passed the 18 hour threshold for GOOGLE
I wonder how the waves are today

Faro Rincon PR
Punta Higuero
El Faro de Punta Higuero

That would be the lighthouse
Rincon is touted as one, if not the best, surfing location in the Caribbean.
Surfing World Championships have been held there in the past.

My wife and I lived about 10 miles from the lighthouse back in the 70s.
This picture taken about 8 years ago

jphart has the honors... where are we headed now?

View from, not of. But no surf here.

A view from a balcony that i wish i was sitting on...
Bahamas maybe?

exactly Tom! Abaco area?

You were quick to catch the flag hint. Indeed the railing is visible.
Reef is in view and over 1800 feet deep.
Now, from where are you gazing, and at what settlement?

I did not catch any hint... It was purely a guess.

I have never been to the Bahamas except to fly over in a Coast Guard Aircraft on a search or land and medivac some tourist who did something stupid or had an unfortunate illness or accident.

It just looked like the Bahamas so that is what I guessed.

Hopetown - Elbow Cay I believe. Unfortunately massive destruction in the area from Hurrican Dorian but the lighthouse is still standing. Will pass my turn on more photos but wanted to guess!

BVIhockey, you got it!

Sailing guide:
From the waypoint HPTWN named for this destination, head toward Eagle's Rock. When the narrow concrete road is straight, turn and head directly bearing 149° as though you were going to drive onto it. Turn to starboard and proceed into this harbor.

I’d think Mike and BEERMAN have traversed that course and into this harbor.

Good memory JP! I don't remember seeing a light house in the distance when we motored through man-o-war cut, it was nighttime, raining and..... I was kinda busy on the bow with a flood light looking down!!!! We stayed at Abaco Beach Resort. Wonder how it recovered after the storms??

Here’s the famous Hopetown lighthouse, Harbour and Atlantic Ocean. We sailed here five years ago, and two years ago rented a house on White sound across the street from the Abaco Inn. I hear they are making progress in the Abacos. Approach guidelines are from Dodge sailing guide.


Tom: BVIhockey demurred, so guess you pick next.

I defer to Carol who gave up her spot when they had power issues.

Carol you are up!

Tom--I have a picture in mind, but can't get it uploaded tonight. If you want to go ahead, I'll catch the next one.

Will do...

So here is another ity bity slice of something many have seen

Trivi Fountain, Rome

you are correct JP
Thought this one would take a few clues

You are up!

Three coins in the fountain one of the clues?
Didn’t look it up. Stayed at the Trivi hotel across the street in 2009.
Gotta find a pix, running out, as I lost a hard drive 10 years ago

Ok, speaking of easy...maybe this will draw some lurkers? How about a newbie to the game? Sleepy, BEERMAN and TomB are disqualified for six hours!
Come on, step up to the plate - your turn to show your stuff,

👍 good idea!

I concur

Munich
One of my favorite cities in the world!!!

winner

How do I post a pic??? I have not done it in ages...

[img]https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/cN6Vb1fLRHaSruDCYk38iA.F07wdbksRmRMnLx4l213Gz[/img]

Dang - well that didn’t work - LOL

Could be one of 14 locations, but Tom's rules stipulate no Google image search yet.
I thought that was the Eye, but it isn’t

I'm trying everything.....I cannot put a photo in

It's driving me bats.

Sorry...I so wanted to play....but apparently I am not allowed to post photos - I cannot figure it out at all.
I thought I had a pretty good one too

OK, you can't use an HTML location. It has to be a jpeg. If it is a jpeg, you can upload it to the TTOL Photo Gallery. If you need more instructions, PM me..

Okay - I uploaded to the gallery - under the where in the world JP - how do I move it here?

Here is Winterstale pix:

Thanks JP!!!

Once it is in a photo gallery here, you right click on the picture, depending on your browser, to get the URL of the picture..

The other way which may be easier but does not render a high res photo is

Use the full editor
In the grey section at the bottom of the window you will see Attachment Manager
Click on Attachment manager
It will open another window and allow you to drag and drop from your computer or use a file select a file
Once you have completed that hit done
And you are finished.
When you post your response the picture will be attached at the bottom

And now Winterstale you are in the game... and I am clueless

Well....I have another one from the same place but it would likely give it away....

Why don't you see if you can post it?? Then you will know better how to post in future.

For the record I am going Asia
The Hotel is named Mandarin Oriental.... i think
and the fountain looks eastern

You are in the right direction, Tom....

I stayed at the Mandarin while there....

are the sidewalks very wide and the place very clean

LOL......yes......and you cannot chew gum

or eat smelly fruit and you used to get haircuts at the airport if your hair was below the collar for the guys anyway lol

The airport is epic...

Well, clues like that make it way too easy.

Singapore.

Dan...Welcome, You are up!

OK, here's an unusual building. Click on the image to see it larger.

I was going to say Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao, but having googled images I'm not sure.

Nope. Here's a wider shot, not taken by me.

Remember TomB's rules....no Google image lookup for first 18 hours of original photo post!

I believe that is a building in Graz, Austria - the Kunsthaus

HaHa Mike - Busted

For the new folks
- we have an 18 hour no google rule (honor system) so all time zones have a fair shot
- make sure you photo does not have the name of the location in the file name
- it has to be a picture you have taken
- after a guess or two it is polite to give a hint... The more obscure the hint the better.

We have enjoyed traveling the world through other people's eyes during this period of the germ.
We welcome you, and look forward visiting the places you have seen.

All lurkers welcomed

Correct, from Wikipedia:
Owing to its shape contrasting with its surroundings, it is known in local vernacular as the "Friendly Alien"

Great to hear from you, Zanshin! Hope you are doing much better, though like so many of us, not sailing back in de lions.
We know you have tens of thousands of photos. Tease us with one?

jphart - thanks for the nice words!

Here's one I took a while ago, close to where I have a flat in a very scenic location.

Pfalzgrafenstein Castle on the Rhine

When I took this picture it was like 25 degrees and a freezing mist
I like your picture a whole lot more!

This is so much fun! Thank you everyone for posting pictures

We need a new photo. So post one Sunny!

Technically, Zanshin has to yes or no to my guess before the next picture should be posted.
Albeit, I am 99.9999999999999999999999999999999999% I am correct. Let us give Zanshin a chance to chime in and hopefully give a little back story on what we are looking at.

TomB - you have it. I have a place in Bingen am Rhein, just a couple of miles away. It is the best wine country in Germany and the Rhine river has always been an important trade route and border in Europe.

Zanshin,

Truly beautiful spot and you could not be more correct about the wine!

For our next destination we go the movies! In this case not the movie, but the backstory... and oh what a back story!
I feel like the guy on TCM introducing a classic... And in fact it was a classic.

Where would one have to go to cross this bridge?

The power lines make me chuckle.

I'm going to have to defend myself here against calumnious suggestion that I might have broken the rules I believed I knew the answer, unfortunately incorrectly, and simply used google to try and confirm my thoughts. Having learnt that I was probably incorrect I didn't go on to attempt to find the correct answer. Therefore I believe, your honour, that I acted within the spirit and letter of the law.

And while I'm here being petty and pedantic... The earlier answer should have been the Trevi Fountain, not the Trivi.

Mike,

As self-assigned rule maker and that power was seconded by Carol, who is truly the last word on the board, it is within my power to totally exonerate you on the charge against you. Considered it done!

Go forth and guess more!

As for the shortfall in spelling it is far from me to judge anyone on speling or gramor. Just ain’t my thing specialy foreign palabras.

TravelHat

Telephone lines are every photographer’s nightmare!
Dug this shot up from when the bridge was famous.
No lines to be seen.

Two hours and no guesses - Time for hint!
What do we know so far...
- The Backstory of a Classic Movie will tell us the location

Here is hint #2

Great visual clue.

I'm gonna say Puerto Vallarta.

Puerto Vallarta I believe is correct. Night of the Iguana. Very good clue!

As far as the famous couple did Richard Burton cross with a Elizabeth Taylor, just not on screen.

I’m sure Tom will tell us the whole story.

Ellen is correct! Richard and Elizabeth were quite the number.
They were all over the tabloids with their steamy relationship.
Only problem was they were both married.

When Burton got the lead role in Night of the Iguana, Taylor followed him down to Puerto Vallarta, as did the movie press.
The movie studio had a fit, and the Mexican authorities were outraged.
Mexico laws were still heavily influenced by the Church.
In fact the Pope called them out publicly on their debauchery.

Burton solved the problem by buying Casa Kimberly so the two were no longer living together.
Burton's apartment was on one side of the street and Taylor's house on the other.

The rest is history. It was not a Camelot ending.

DanS was the first to chime in.

BTW - took both the pics to make the clue. PhotoShop is great.

Yeah, I knew the Night of the Iguana story from my dad, who spends his winters in Puerto Vallarta.

Hmm, my stash of photos is a bit thin. Let's try this one.

Well the bus says New York City and the umbrella says Astor place. I think the cube is around 29th.

Well done. Damn, I didn't look closely enough to see those clues. Astor Place actually merges into 8th Street. The cube sculpture is called Alamo, and it rotates if you push hard enough. The brown building is Cooper Union, my alma mater. Beyond the traffic light on the left is St. Marks Place, a major hippy hangout back in the day.

Got hit by a stomach flu last night.
Down hard
TravelHat has 18 hours to post a new pic then whoever uploads first starts game again.
Newbies encouraged
To sick to do math
carry on travellers

So sorry to hear that Tom. Take care!

Here you go

Ok so I’m going to say US famous old brewer like Bud in St Louis.

That was quick. EllenS. You are correct and our next poster.

I’m an old midwestern girl. Was between Miller or Bud.

So going more obscure.

That looks like Chattanooga

Nope. Correct time zone.

In the fall, a navy of sorts, sets up in view of this bridge.

Knoxville?

Winner

We haven't been to Neyland Stadium, but partied with the Vol Navy in a land battle at the state line a few years ago!! They wooped us...but we keep in touch with the Vols we tailgated with, great people!!

Neyland Stadium is a lot of fun and once you go, the song Rocky Top will be running in a loop in your head for a while.

We tried to get on the boats, but didn't have any luck. It is quite a sight, all the boats rafted to the dock in the shadow of the stadium. The Vol Navy is quite an organized group. We still somehow managed to enjoy ourselves though!

Next up!

Ellen, I went to Neyland several years ago to watch my beloved Irish lose to the Vols. No doubt the loudest stadium I have ever been in. It took days to get that dang song out of my head.

Ah, football..

Pure guess on my part due to good clues and SEC history. No google search, I swear.
As a Gator, haven’t been in that enemy territory.

Florida v Georgia game brings some boat traffic, but not as big as Knoxville.
I bought a boat a few years ago just to take it to the Worlds Largest Cocktail Party.

Frequented by locals more than tourists, but you may have walked by in this tourist destination city.
Remember...no Google searches!

New Orleans?

Carol it looks like a Colorado license plate, I just can’t seem to focus in on it.

Green Parrot is a great bar in Key West

TravelHat--Ha, I thought Key West first, and then thought that was too easy!!

Fox--No idea what a Colorado license plate looks like, so I wouldn't know!

Yes it is, great talent there. Caffeine Carl is my wife’s “cousin”

Winner!
(I purposely left the license plate in the photo)

Green Parrot is across the street from Mile Marker Zero. Our SIL lived in a house a half block down on Southard St. The live music would keep us up 'til late at night during our visits

TravelHat is up.

Getting ready for the Christmas parade

I don't know where but I'm going to try starting the homing in process by saying it looks Italian.

Florence!

Si

Funny, we were just talking about Florence with our friends this weekend!! Walking the Arno River and crossing the bridges was a relaxing highlight, but the nighttime view from our room was always nice to come home to!

View from our AirB&B

Travelhat we want to go back!! .......now, where was I running??

US National Park out west. Arches?

we were heading towards Arches, but still a couple hours away...edited to say "by car"

hint..I was running the same road as Foooorest,,,Fooorest Guuuump nearing the end of his journey. I see a lot of pics on the web of Forrest but don't know about copyright issues posting one.....

My knowledge of National Parks and the western US is embarrassing little. So is my Forrest Gump trivia.

I’ll guess Zion

Not Zion...hint...we were in the same state but actually in another "Nation"

Just googled it. Very cool.. I will wait the 18 hours

It was here that we experienced perhaps the most beautiful sunrise and sunset that we've ever seen...per the "Tom Rule" google away in a few minutes...

It's great everyone got stumped. Seemed the last few pictures were guessed way too quick.

Monument Valley run Forest run, been busy getting probed or would of guessed sooner

Yep, Monument Valley in the Navajo Nation! We stayed at The View hotel run by the Navajo and highly highly recommend it. The last 2 pics were from our balcony. "Probed" ugh...good luck with that and you are next up to post!

Used to work here back in the day

Italy? I think you're going to have to give us a clue.

I’m looking at the pic on my phone, tiny but I might see an Illy coffee flag? It’s everywhere, but since it’s italian I’ll guess Amalfi Coast to beg for another clue?.....

Used to provision here for the megayacht I worked on

Sorrento ?

I have posted before from this country

Malta

Agean Sea

how about Turkey

Greece. Thessaloki or something close to that

TomB has the country

Closer to Rhodes Ellen , used to work there also

Marmaris would be the likely superyacht re-provisioning spot.

I think it would be most interesting to hear about all the places Sleepychef has worked, such an interesting life. Seems like you have been or worked just about everywhere! I'm a tad jealous, must say.

We started in Marmaris but ended up down the coast due to where all the guests were coming from.

Clue:

A place you Go to you half way there

Turunc I’m guessing with that clue, looks like the little coffee shop. And there are lot of guest there.

That even further from the airport the answer is in the clue , go check it out.

Gocek

Jeannius is correct, best place I ever provisioned, sat in one shop and the guy had his boys run to the butchers, fishmongers and everywhere I needed while I sat and drank, he overcharged but it was worth it as every time I went in for a personnel shop he never charged me.

Needed the second clue before I remembered the name. Done several charters from Marmaris in the past but never got to Gocek.

Here's a photo that I took while with several TTOL members, but, I don't think any of them are participating in the game so hopefully it'll last a little while...

Mike,
I haven't been to the Galapagos, but I have been to Mustique so that's my guess.

Fred... I didn't know you were watching!!! Yes, Mustique.

That didn't last long. You are up

I hesitated to guess because now I have to figure out how to post a picture. I hope I'm following Tom's suggestion on easiest method.

Picture is great, but I have no clue where it is.

Only cliffs I know are Moher. I’ll wait for more clues

Fred - Success!

One you joined in the fun and posted a picture!
Two you have proven that water and life live on Mars!!!!
Oh what a long strange trip it must have been

or could it be on the cliffs in the United Kingdom

Ellen - you are geographically close, but think offshore.

Tom - definitely not the UK.

Without google I am out. I will follow along.

Dun Angus , Inis Mor

Correct sleepychef - Inis Mor the largest of the Aran Islands just off Galway, Ireland. You're next.

EllenS your going to laugh, I worked on that island for nearly 2 years,

You are right I laughed. What are the chances. You have certainly worked in some interesting places.

I’ll have to look into this area. I need to get to Ireland and Scotland.

Dag gone to slow on the keyboard
Once I read offshore comment...

Fred you are correct - Being a Sullivan on my mother's side Inis Mor is as far away from the United Kingdom as one get.

Ok sleepy chef... what exotic off the beaten destination are we looking for

Oh No... Slow again

Just saw the new picture...
I am pretty sure my daughter has seen it because I have heard about it...
She has been more places that I have...

Do we have a rule about phoning a friend...
Well I know I am not going to call her tonight. She is a new momma and sleep is important.

Just to take a wild guess Glasgow.

but where in Glasgow

Maybe the main ScotRail station? I forgot the specific name. The only reason I guessed Glasgow was the color of the signs. The Scottish Tourist bureau uses that color and I just guessed Glasgow.

I do t even know if you have one or not. But a museum of modern art?

Dang - we got a player! I was wondering how you made the jump to Glasgow so quickly.

And I am positive that EllenS is on track!

begins with a K

Ellen of Fred take it home
18 hours is up...
you two got there
you deserve to finish
first one wins!

OK Google is my friend for this one.

Kelvingrove Art Museum in Glasgow Scotland

Winner!

OK, let's see if sleepychef worked here as well!

I looked it up before 18 hours was up. I didn't go there as I spent time in pubs instead of art museums. i guess my cultural stuff is meeting the locals over a few pints of Tennents.

Dang - we have quarantine guest for a zoom wine tasting
I have been there
I have to go look at my blog/pictures to figure out which town it is

I could “say a little prayer” that someone else guesses before Tom.

Being one who has a strong belief in prayer Ellen, I will remain silent on identifying the picture... for at least 17 hours and 59 minutes

Bless You

EllenS,

sleepchef didn't, but I was born in that neck of the woods and lived a couple of towns upriver. I bet you are looking forward to putting in some clues, perhaps with song references. If nobody guesses it then I'll answer but I kind of feel like I'm cheating if I were to answer it right away.

EllenS,

I understand your last post now (had to google the song to see if Mr. BACHARACH had sung it), so before I named it I searched my picture archive in Lightroom and found an appropriate next picture to post.

The town in your picture is Bacharach am Rhein. I used to work in Wiesbaden and we would frequently get visitors from headquarters in the USA, which meant I got to take them on castle and wine tasting tours at company expense so I've been to Bacharach many a time. The infamous "Loreley" bend in the Rhine is just downriver.

Winner! I was trying to be clever. Glad some of you understood where I was going with that!

Next!

Hi. Let's start a new thread with the next picture. Zanshin, you're up!! Please start a new thread.
