Game Time Part 17

Mike, great clue re: South Pacific. Here goes another picture

Williamsburg?

If Carol isn't right I'm guessing South Africa somewhere.

IF Williamsburg is right, Kim can post the next picture.

Mike, you are correct. Want to try guessing where -or close to where- in SA? What told you it was SA in the first place?

Stellenbosch, SA? I went to college in Williamsburg, but didn't recognize the building

Zanshin, not Stellenbosch but relative to "somewhere in SA" you are very close.

It just looked very like the buildings, in a place I can't remember the name of, quite near to Cape Town! All of the buildings there were white with green shutters and thatch roofs.

Think I've got it now but used google maps to remind myself so I'll keep quiet.

Looks a bit like the building on the Hamilton Russell Vineyards label. They make some nice Chard and Pinot Noir.

Not Hamilton Russel

Since a few have been hitting all around this place, please start using Google.

Groot Constantia

Adrian, you are correct and you are up

Unretouched photo taken with my cell phone. Where am I?

On a beach

Ground zero for Hurricane Michael.

That's one intriguing picture and probably taken somewhere down your way.

Fred, you're right. The land in the distance is part of an Air Force base.

I'll guess Eglin AFB, but I think there are one or two others around there. I don't know the name of the beach.

Not Eglin AFB, but getting close. A little further east.

Maybe Tindell is one of the others?

Close enough Fred! Tyndall Air Force Base. The beach is Mexico Beach, Florida which is the western edge of what is known as the "Forgotten Coast". Hurricane Michael made landfall there in 2018 as a Cat 5. Fred, you're up!

Well, I learned how to spell Tyndall AFB properly. This next picture may be a rerun and I know at least one player who has been here because that player also posted a picture from this place.

A view from the harbor and the heights

I know it as I've posted the same location. I'll keep quiet for now.

Mike, I don't think that personal knowledge disqualifies you from answering.

I think maybe it is Sint Eustatius? Or Saba?

Carol, neither one of those.

Oh, ok. Got nothin' then.

Dominica?

Can't be Dominica. Too dry.

How about St Helena?

Not Dominica

Sorry BaardJ, we must have cross fired and you are correct with St. Helena. You are up.

Here's the next one. Approaching the Rock. Wopnin?

Founded in 1609.

It's Bermuda. I've entered through the gap in the first photo and docked at the customs house that is visible in the distance in the second and in detail in the third.

Correct. The entrance is called Town Cut and it was formerly protected by Gates Fort and the Alexandra Battery. The cut leads to the pretty town of St Georges, Bermuda.

Here's the next one...

Somewhere in France?

It is indeed France. A region popular with us Brits.

Well, at least I have the country narrowed down...

Time for google I think.

I don't disagree, but I don't see too much to google??

Mandeliew-La Napoule? Le Cottage?

Brantome?

The restaurant name was visible in one of the photos Carol.

Fred is correct. Beautiful Brantome in the Dordogne region of France.

Thanks to the restaurant sign and Google. If someone has a picture to post, please go ahead. Otherwise I'll see what I can find.

Mike--sorry. Glad someone got it.

This should go quick - I hope so as I don't have a follow-up. Where's Carol on this one?

In referring to this country, we often use one place name - officially, this country contains two place names for a total of three words. The name of the international airport is the same as the statue in the picture.

I’m surprised that no one has guessed this yet Fred. Way to easy for me, so I’ll let it keep going.

SXMFOX, I'm surprised as well. BTW, around 30 years ago we used to rent beach cottages, along with other families, just north of Surf City. Most of those cottages have washed away over the years but we sure enjoyed the area for a few years.

I can think of one place that fits that clue but I don't have any photos so uif I'm correct then someone else is free to go, Antigua and Barbuda?

Yes, those were the days. Hurricane after hurricane finally got all of those homes, they even had to move the road back because the ocean took the old one. It is amazing, no matter how strong you build it, the ocean will always take what it wants.

Fran, you got it and the airport is V.C. Bird.
I know there are some folks out there with pictures so someone please go ahead and post.

Hi. If someone has a picture to post, please do!

Where is this?

Scotland

I can only make out a small portion of words, but seems more like German so I'll guess Germany?

I thought it was Stutgart to begin with

This edifice is in Germany, albeit not in Stuttgart.

Saarbrucken

I won't even guess at where in Germany. I think it's actually the Borg ship from Star Trek.

Fran - your guess is closer than you thought.

I've seen some interesting and similar buildings on TV but don't recall where they were in Germany, perhaps Hamburg?

Zanshi, isn’t this the building with the glass walkways and maybe inside parking? Didn’t you live across from there at one time, just asking? Wish I could think of the name of it, anyway just rambling

Got it, Mainhatten! I knew I had seen this before. Didn’t cheat, just went back in time.

Disclaimer, these are not my photos, these are from Zanshin.

Oh - mea culpa! I thought that I'd submitted those pictures on another thread in another forum and was good to go here...

It is the same building, the "Cube" (hence the Borg reference was fitting). Home of the "Deutsche Börse" (German Stock Exchange).
SXMFOX - you are up.

Yea I thought I saw that building in an earlier post, lol. Ok, so where are we?

Holland House?

Well dam Carol, that went fast! Your up! We do love those breezes that come through there with an ice cold beer in our hands!

It just looked very much like pictures I've seen of it, although we have never been back there on the back patio.

Crap, don't have any pictures!! Anyone have a picture to post?
