Where in the world?

It has been awhile since we played this game. I will post the first picture to get things rolling.

If you can identify the shot just submit your answer and the person who posted will confirm if you are right. If you are right you get to post the next shot.

If people are stumped it is all right to post hints to keep the game moving. Here is our first picture.

Siena Cathedral in Italy. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />

You are Correct! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />
Your turn to post a picture <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" />

I am going to let you in on a little secret, I do not know how to post a photo plus I do not have any to post. Would you believe all my travel photos are prints. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" /> Please do another photo.

Do you have the ability to scan in a print? If so, you can upload it here. It doesn't have to be online anywhere first.

If you do not have a scanner.. you can whip out the cell phone and take a picture of the picture. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" /> If we play by the old rules from a few years ago... you have 24 hours to post one. Give it a try. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />

24 hour rule........and another castle!

So Beerman... If I was standing where I took this picture and turned around and looked up would I see the castle?

Good eye Tom! by the way, how are you uploading photos here nowadays? I see you can open your photos full screen and the one has been downloaded 9 times? curious what that's about?

I am using TTOL to post pictures. When you are posting in the bottom three threads topics (Simple Pictures) you can upload a single photo if the picture is less than 25OK in size and I think 1280 wide. Type in your text and hit continue. When the preview loads look below the text and you will see a upload window. After it uploads, you can grab the file name and use the img command to post into other thread topics. However it is one at a time.

As for download, Carol correct me if I am wrong, if you are logged in the picture is visible to someone looking at the thread. If you are not logged in you see a link in the header and when you click it you see the picture and that counts as a download.

To officially answer the question of the location of your shot.... It would be Monterosso one of the villages of the Cinque Terre.

I will post tomorrow the next picture

Tom--actually I don't really know what the download number stands for! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" />

Well I just tried it not logged in and the counter went up by one. Learn something new everyday when you run a board <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

Next Picture

Well, maybe you learn something every day, if you're smart. Sometimes, I'm not so smart, like looking at these series of pictures. I have NO clue where any of them are.

Well Carol I will give you hint... and only to you! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />
(Nobody else read below)

Carol the location of the picture is 3,675 miles NE of Marigot, SXM <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Groovin.gif" alt="" />

My guess is Amsterdam?

Somewhere in Germany??

Dunno. I'm directionally challenged. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

Not Amsterdam and not Germany
So here is another hint.

This place is very important to those who study the history and adventures of Christopher Columbus

Spain, I guess??

Portugal??

PORTUGAL - NO <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />
SPAIN - YES <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />

But where?

Plaza de Espana, Seville

Ding, Ding, Ding... We have a winner!

Mr Beerman - Picture Please <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

BTW... Columbus is buried in Seville and it is also where he prepared the three ships (Niña, Pinta and Santa María) and heir crews for the pending voyage to the new world.
1492 is a VERY important year in Spain, but not because of Chris. It is the year that El Cid (and others) drove the Moors from Spain.

TGIF!

First question... How come James Bond gets all the good looking women? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />

Something most folks do not know about TomB, but he is a James Bond nerd. I have every movie on DVD. In fact it is a rainy day cold day (mid-60s in Virginia) and I see a James Bond marathon in my future. Please do not think less of me <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />

So to the matter at hand, I will say that is George Lazenby in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service " and that was filmed on the Schilthorn in Switzerland?

Ding! We watched "On her majesty's..." on the flight over last time!! Go Telly!!!

It's still in the high 50's here Tom, ugh! Just face timed with our daughter in Lugano, same weather there...that puts me in the mood for more euro research today!

Well since this is primarily a Caribbean Board lets do a blue water picture. To get this one right you need to provide Island and Beach in picture.

Ok it's a big world with lots of water....will I find this in your blog? Perhaps Anguilla? Maybe Malta? Maybe....

ahhhhhhh.... but the water is a special color blue <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />

One could probably find this beach in my blogs or old trip reports, but not in the ones you mentioned Beerman. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Groovin.gif" alt="" />

Knowing your affinity for St. John, my WAG would be St. John somewhere..

Denis Bay St John. Donna gets credit for this, her memory never fails!

See, I knew it had to be ST. John! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

Well I guess Donna gets credit
So let her choose the next picture <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

Carol - you and Eric have to make a trip to STJ and spend sometime.

I'll post before my hands get busy...starting to cook wings for tailgating at the Virginia Tech vs. West Virginia game today, GO HOKIES!!

Tom--It's funny, the one and only time we spent any time overnight on St. John, we had to be evacuated out early because of wrong way Hurricane Lenny!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" /> I don't know how many trips we have made to the Caribbean during hurricane season, probably at least two dozen and the ONLY time we had a hurricane affect our trip was for Lenny. I think we've always taken that as a sign! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

Carol,

I would not go to STJ in the next week - you may have repeat experience.

Sure hope not, but looks like Irma is tracking that way.

Yes, not going anywhere down island soon and not sure whether it will head here to Florida after that!

I threw out a softball for TTOL'ers....

Yep... I thought you were trolling to get somebody in the top forums to come on down to join us. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Groovin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Groovin.gif" alt="" />

The photo that has not been identified is the Crucifix at the base of Fort Marigot Hill in Marigot, St Maarten. Hope it helps keep them safe tomorrow.
