I didn't expect it to be you, but GAME ON! Time to put your photo linking skills to the test...

Welcome to the game TivaBella!

Thanks, Charlatan.
Lucifer, I am going to assume that you didn't mean that the way it sounded :lol: After all, I can google with the best of them. Besides, you dropped a huge hint.

Here's mine....

The War of 1812 memorial at Fort Niagara?

Hi TivaBella! good to see some new blood in the thread! What was the huge hint that Lucifer dropped? I'm clueless.... don't know your pic either... somewhere around Niagara?

No offense intended! Leto, all the islands in the St. Clair river look like that, with canals on the inside and long shoals on the outside. Besides, TivaBella knows what I do for a living and the area I work in, so I guess it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise.

Sorry Feelgood - try again.

Hi Leto, it's good to be here.

No offence taken Lucifer.

Queenton's Height? Or Queenton village

Whichever it is called now...

Nope*******

Would this be somewhere in Newfoundland?

too flat, too green, and that building looks like it's made from stone, so that rules out Newfoundland!

True - it is not Newfoundland

I think that some hints would be welcome....

O.K. Feelgood's warm, but not quite hot (go west young man). As for the fort itself, here is a bit of history.

The first fort on this site was constructed in 1796 and had a different name than it does today. This post was significant to the British forces during the War of 1812. The current Fort was erected after the war and rebuilt in 1838-40 and served as a centre for the British defence during the Upper Canada Rebellion of 1837-39.

Not sure if this is helpful, but the town where it is located shares its name with the original fort.

Good luck!

Fort Malden National Historic Site
Amherstburg, ON

You got it Splk!

way to go spdick........nice job.

Stanley Park?

No, not Stanley park.

Top of Grouse Mountain?

Not Grouse.

Top of Sulfur Mountain?

not Sulfer M

that up on burnaby mountain dude?

Wierd, that totem pole looks so familiar....

no, not there.

how's the birds?

I hereby proclaim that splck brings ridiculous frustration to this thread and should be required to deliver helpful hints after x amount of guesses and/or x amount of time.


Even if that 'how's the birds' is a hint, it isn't helpful to me.

Heh, how's the birds is not a clue. flyman adopted two chickens today.

You want a clue? It's at a hwy stop of interest....and it's not in Toronto. ;)

jeeez, that narrows it down!

birds all got along well..........

the fuckin' rooster sure went berserk..........letting the whole world know who's boss.

but yeah......the two new ones fit in here fine man.

The Malahat Pass?

*edit:

just read through some of the clues. As I recall the Malahat on Vancouver Island has a highway pulloff where you can take pictures. I don't recall the totem pole, but the curb looks awfully familiar (as does the altitude of the terrain in the background). I'll look see if I can find my tourist shot of my visit to the Malahat...

*edit:

here is me at the Malahat back in '89. See the parking area curb? looks the same:

Very good Leto, your memory seems intact.
who the hell remembers a curb?


Game on.

curb your enthusiasm Splck :thumbsup:

It takes a very special kind of drug to be in the space that I am in... :)


Okay, because I am at work, I only have one decent picture to post, so, please look at the scene below, and tell me where it is, and what the object is in the background. (try not to dwell on the group of people in the foreground, I don't have any photoshopping tools at hand, but this picture is a couple of decades old, and so these people may not mind - even though one of them ended up being my wife!)

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...0/8639e73b.jpg

hahaha

I love how everyone had big mustaches back then

so... where is it?

Leto, you are in Kingston, ON, down on the waterfront. There are two sculptures down there in that area, that one, and there are two Huge cylinders that used (at that time) to be painted like a coke and a 7-UP can, but I think the city got sued or something, cause they are painted plain now.

Game on Lucifer,

I am indeed on the Kingston waterfront. The two cylinders that you were referring to were farther down the waterfront towards downtown (close to the Martello Tower) and was entitled "Pollution". When I was there, they were painted green, not like pop cans. Perhaps that was after the suing took place.

The picture here is in front of the sculpture called "Time", which is just walking distance from the university residences, and therefore quite a hangout (at all hours).

well done lad!

Somewhere along the French River in PEI?

Not the French River in PEI

Ohh I know! I know!!

Scarborough Bluffs! no no wait...

Leslie Spit? :lol:


This is a spectacular picture!

it really is a great shot, but I can't take the credit for it. Even though I have been to this place I didn't get any shots as good as this.

Reddish soil aside, it looks like the west side of cape breton. Margaree River/ Harbour area. Maybe a little more north. I swear I've seen it in person, I just can't place it.

you're in the right vicinity, but it's more than a little north

Hrm. If its not Margaree Harbour, its got to be the south end of Cheticamp.

I drive past those all the time:D

And Queens University made the one your by, those two things where supossed to touch after some year but they missed each other!

I had no idea that they were supposed to touch each other. See, learning new stuff with this thread! As far as I know, that's where drunk/horny students went at night to do just exactly that: touch each other. At least that's what I've heard....

*edit

Pain, do you work downtown?

I don't know about drunk/horny students, but I did a girl on the beach there one year during CORK.


And Bossnass: still further north...

Pleasant Bay?

No I work in the Township but I cruise downtown a lot and I use King St. mostly to get out of downtown!

nope.....Farther north, and west a little bit. You are on the right track with the soil colour, but it's not where you think..

Ok.

From Pleasant Bay:

You can't be further north and west and still be on Cape Breton.

You can't be west a little bit and hit Newfoundland.

But the soil is a little reddish, so not Quebec proper.

Therefore, I conclude that it must be Madaline Island. Er, I mean "Iles de la Madeleine".

But then again, I wouldn't be surprised if someone told me again that . Of course, with no one else trying, I should get it eventually.

Point taken Boss...

I think that your logic is accurate, looking at a map, the closest place based on the hints would be near Havre-Aubert on the Isle....

Bossnass takes it! It is indeed Ile de Madeleine. In 2004 I spent a lot of time there as the ship that I was working on had a charter to carry salt from Grand Entree to Newfoundland and Quebec. Ile de Madeleine are beautiful beyond belief. Well worth a vacation sometime.
Game On!

This picture's claim to fame is that I didn't know it had been taken until I pulled them all of the camera.

Badlands of Alberta. Tyrrel?

damn close to Drumheller no?

You're both close. It is in the badlands. And it is damn close to Drumheller, where Royal Tyrell is located. On a technicality, since the purpose of the trip was not to visit the museum, I think it is a tie. Game on to whomever posts the next picture first.

well hell..........it ain't often i get any of these so.......i'll jump in.



took this either 2 years ago or 3 years ago.......not sure.


where the hell "was" I?



http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1.../thetunnel.jpg

Fraser Canyon along hwy1.

is that close enough?

yeah sorta..........






nope...........i wanna know which tunnel.......in what town.

Yale......

game on splck........

kiskatinaw national park?

wait!!!!!

the old skeena bridge?

that's a nice looking bridge! never seen one curved like that before.

You were right the first time...
This is the longest curved wooden bridge in the world. It's alonge the Alska hwy and pics don't do it justice.

game on Tiva

Try this one... Sorry it's so huge. I couldn't figure out how to shrink it.

http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h2...20Monument.jpg

damn..........that's tough to see.

I dunno, it looks like you managed to shrink it pretty good.

I taught TivaBella how to link pics, guess I didn't do a good job..

Yup its in Canada thats all I can make out!

i guess you didn't have your contacts in eh?

:D

hahahaha, shit you're funny tonight!

sorry man.........i just seen your pic with your contacts and..........well,you know.


i had to bud..........i just had to.

Sorry everybody. Try this. Thanks Lucifer for your help!

Must be somewhere in Meaford!

Yep, but where?

Isn't that the K-9 tribute at Joe's Park in Meaford?

Game on Feelgood

That is the Muttart Conservatory in Edmonton if I am not mistaken. I was there about 15 years ago. Very cool

Is this our first location repost? The first sign of decay in one of my favorite threads of all time?

it is ! perhaps not decay, but a sign of how strong this thread is, that there are posts bound to be duplicated because they have faded into the past...

I guess we move on?
Looks like TivaBella got it right.

Man, you guys all know the country pretty well.
I am hoping to get one so that I can attempt to stump you.

O.k. here you go....

http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h2...on/chesley.jpg

It is Big Bruce of Chesley Ontario.

Chesley, Ontario?
(Big Bruce)

I had to look it up.

Wow, that was fast. I think Bossnass takes that one.

When my grandparents first took me here I was far too young to apprciate what I was seeing. There were no stairs or walkways then. I hear that there are fences and fees now.

Petroglyph provincial park?

It maybe a provincial park, I'm not certain. I'm pretty sure it isn't the one you think it is. You'll have to be more specific.


edit - Yep, it is a provincial park now. It was privately owned last time I was there. But I still think it isn't the one you think it is.

i was thinking the petroglyph provincial park near Peterborough Ont., but it could be the one on Vancouver Island as well (near Nanaimo?)...

Nope and nope.
