I strongly believe that if you don't have a picture to post should you guess correctly, then you shouldn't play. Just like an ante when playing cards...

Re: Game time part 13 - 11/24/2020 10:01 AM

Ahh - I lived in Sydney for over a year and traveled all around the east coast on my motorcycle and that building looked somewhat familiar but the ocean view narrowed it down. Somewhere in the CBD of Sydney?
Posted By: Jeannius

Re: Game time part 13 - 11/24/2020 02:01 PM

Correct Arnd. Thought you'd get it. It's actually a serviced apartment building in Darling Harbour. Very nice and very good value for anyone passing through. The second photo for those that don't know it is the exit from Sydney Harbour heading around to Manley if you turn left or Bondi if you go right. .
Posted By: Zanshin

Re: Game time part 13 - 11/24/2020 02:24 PM

The second photo is taken from an angle that makes the opening look rather small - but cruise ships come through here! I didn't get to Darling Harbour too often, I lived in Kirribilli and usually just hopped across the bridge to get cheap drinks and food at the backpacker bars...

Where is this?

No, not the Bahamas.

First clue - this is one of the very few locations on this island that is not covered in verdant growth.
Posted By: Jeannius

Re: Game time part 13 - 11/24/2020 05:12 PM

Looks vaguely familiar. Possibly somewhere on Moskito Island?
Posted By: Zanshin

Re: Game time part 13 - 11/24/2020 05:44 PM

Nope, not on Moskito. This place get more rainfall.

Re: Game time part 13 - 11/24/2020 07:13 PM

I've never actually been to Creole Rock, but the island in the background looks like Anguilla to me, so I'm going to say French St. Martin.
Posted By: Jeannius

Re: Game time part 13 - 11/24/2020 07:16 PM

I'm going to move away from the Caribbean. I've seen rocks like the first image in the Seychelles and they certainly get more rain. The only time I went we had 3 days when we couldn't move out of harbour because of continuous torrential rain and high winds.
Posted By: Zanshin

Re: Game time part 13 - 11/25/2020 05:16 AM

While St. Martin wasn't right, this island is in the Caribbean.
Posted By: Jeannius

Re: Game time part 13 - 11/25/2020 11:55 AM

Wettest place in the eastern Caribbean is probably Dominica so I'll go with that.
Posted By: Fran

Re: Game time part 13 - 11/25/2020 12:11 PM

I'm thinking it looks similar to some of the small islands near the ABC islands.
Posted By: Zanshin

Re: Game time part 13 - 11/25/2020 12:11 PM

Correct! These pictures were taken on the windward side of Dominica. The first is truly the only barren part of the island, since the ground is from a relatively recent volcanic eruption. The island of Marie Galante in Guadeloupe can be seen on the horizon of the second picture.

Re: Game time part 13 - 11/28/2020 12:52 AM

Mike, even though you spend a lot of time in Spain and Bolivar is on the plaque, I'm guessing some other country. A guess based on vegetation and wondering if the plaque is totally "pro conquistador". I'm guessing not Spain as a start.
Posted By: Zanshin

Re: Game time part 13 - 11/28/2020 06:46 AM

Since Simon Bolivar was instrumental in making a number of south American countries independent, I would guess we are somewhere in the northern part of South America, perhaps even Venezuela. For lack of actual knowledge, I'll just guess Caracas.
Posted By: Jeannius

Re: Game time part 13 - 11/28/2020 08:56 AM

Fred you are correct. Not Spain. Zanshin... Not Caracas either but the latitude is pretty close.

Next photo. Spent probably the worst evening of my life on this 'party' bus. Appalling music played at around 120 decibels. No or inadequate air-con. Plenty to drink and no bathroom...

No. Not Florida or Australia, but if you look closely, there is a flight control tower to the right in the photo. Tropical climate-yes.

Re: Game time part 13 - 12/01/2020 02:31 PM

My first thought was the Montreux Jazz Festival (I can't believe that they "boo'd" Stevie Ray Vaughn off stage the first time he performed there). I'm going to stick with that for lack of a definite location, but the mountainous background makes me think of the Alps and Switzerland. I just don't think Montreux is big enough for that many churches

Alps Yes!
Switzerland No...
Posted By: Zanshin

Re: Game time part 13 - 12/01/2020 04:30 PM

That narrows down the options. With that many churches it has to be a bigger town. While the picture doesn't ring a bell, I am going to guess Salzburg in Austria due to the history, scenery and size. I haven't been back to Salzburg in many years but it could be a match...

Re: Game time part 13 - 12/02/2020 06:50 AM

Looks like it's being preserved now with the fence. I have a couple of places in mind, but first guess is former GDR and Leipzig (I don't even know if this city is in GDR)
Posted By: Zanshin

Re: Game time part 13 - 12/02/2020 07:39 AM

The fence is to preserve the "artwork" (and to keep it from getting vandalized) but it remains standing in the middle of this rather large city. It is not in Leipzig, nor is the city in what used to be the DDR (or GDR, same thing)

Also, the time has on occasion changed from correct to incorrect and vice versa. Oh well, if someone Googles too early I don't care, it's no skin off my back, only a game.

Again, it is a setting in your Preferences in your computer. Make sure that your time is set for the time where you are. I am on the East Coast, so my time is set for New York City.

Fran, sorry I overlooked your guess, but Sicily is not correct. As far as Garibaldi goes, I just looked him up on Wikipedia and he was all over the world, but even though he has a monument here, it made no mention of him ever being in the place I posted.

Carol, as I said before, I'm not overly concerned about this but I checked and my computer time is also set for NY and I am having the same issue as Fred, albeit intermittently. Who knows what causing this. I think computers may have a mind of their own sometimes. smashpc

I've only been to Loblolly (several times) and don't know the other beaches at all so I guessed the only name that came to mind without resorting to google smile but the coastline and the enclosed reef area made the rough location guess pretty easy.

That's Le Phare Bleu Marina on Grenada. You left just enough of the old Lightship in the picture so I could identify it. I don't really like being in marinas but Le Phare Bleu is a really fun place to be.

If you go to https://www.lepharebleu.com/lighthouse-ship-bar-bistro-grenada/ there is a great video of them starting the ancient, massive, two cylinder diesel ( at least it's fascinating if like me you love messing with old mechanical things!)

If I recall my history, this would look like a statue of Siva, the destroyer. the trident (I can't recall the correct Indian name) gives it away. But where in India could this be - I've only been to big cities so can't even begin to make a guess. How about Kolkatta?
