It is not the ferry to Granville Island.

looks like an ocean marina (versus lake). Sunshine Coast somewhere?
|
Actually I was going to suggest that it looks more like a lake than ocean.
There is something with those two boats in the foreground. Can anynone read what it says on the boat in front? |
I figured ocean because the pilings on the dock are so high, as to allow for the changes in tide.
|
Good reasoning on the pilings Leto, it is the ocean, but not the Sunshine coast.
|
Tofino?
|
nope, more urban than Tofino.
|
ahhh.... False Creek then?
|
can you be a little more specific?

Close enough. It's the False Creek ferry dock.
Take it away... |
|
Frank slide?
|
Frank who?
sorry... not Frank slide. |
The Laurentians?
|
it's not in the Laurentians either.... No where near that area.
|
Er, that would be the Hope slide?
|
Game on splck.
It is the Hope Slide. |
|
I was going to say it's the Prince George Boy... It's not is it?
|
that dude is in Kimberly splck..........
if so........someone toss a pic up for me. |
Ok... Let's keep this going. Where is this downtown:
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1..._2000/city.jpg |
St. John, NB?
|
surprisingly, this is not St John NB, nor is it Saint John's NFLD... or was that Saint John NB and St John's NFLD? I'm consfused. At any rate, the name of this place is not confusing at all.
|
ok, there are a lot of evergreens, maybe it is something further north.
This time I will try the complete other end of the country. Is ti Prince Rupert? |
Quote:
Leto...is that Iqaluit? |
It is not Prince Rupert, nor is it Iqaluit. Is your pic in BC? is it Wells?
My pic certainly has a northern climate... but don't all of our cities have that? This is a capital city. |
In that case, is it Yellowknife?
Wait...ghecking Google...yes it is. http://www.stats.gov.nt.ca/Infrastructure/Pics/YK.JPG let's go back to splck's image now. Quote:

|
Is the Giant Dipper at Playland?
|
nope.

Quote:
This isn't a guess for the rollercoaster, but the pic that you posted (above) splck, reminded me of a couple that I took last month in Bangor, Maine. See below, the largest Paul Bunyon statue (supposedly) in the world (please note the fine attire - the famous Nipigon Dinner Jacket): http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...0038Medium.jpg AND... The money shot: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...0042Medium.jpg Ok, carry on with the game. |
Is that the Mighty Canadian Minebuster near TO?
|
nope...that's not it
|
How about Le Monstre, near Montreal?
|
It is Le Monstre or The Monster at La Ronde (Ile Ste. Helene - Montreal)
splck, you're up. |
An easy one...I think.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/splck/where1.jpg |
|
Mount Robson, along the Yellowhead Highway.
By the way: Hi, I'm Kev. Well, I'm reasonably (read: totally) sure that's correct, so I'll just jump in with this, another fairly easy one: http://kev.cirruswebsolutions.ca/photos/IMG_6511.JPG |
Welcome Kev...Mt Robson ..yup.
Oh man, that's a gimmi ...That would be good old Harrison hot springs. |
i'd say splck has a winner..............harrison

Fairmont Hotel, Vancouver
|
And/or Christchurch Cathedral... ;)
|
good point.
|
Nah, it ain't the church I was thinking about.
Sticky nailed it yet again. Hotel Vancouver. You're up. |
|
No one?
|
can we get a hint? the photo looks dated, judging by the poles for the wires and what appears to be mature elm trees (i think) undecimated by the dutch elm disease breakout.
|
It's a building in a city in Canada?
|
Quote:
that's why i like you splck.........you're fuckin' bright. :thumbsup: i'm shootin' by this morning so,have the beer cold this time eh. |
Is it an Eaton's or Bay building?
|
I'll say it's a department store. And, hazard a guess that it is in the west somewhere.
Eaton's in Vancouver? |
My city-sense tells me it's Winnipeg, but that's a guess.
|
All wrong.
It is not a department store. It is an old pick of a building that is still around and looks the same. There are a lot more buildings around it now though. |
King Edward Hotel, Toronto.
|
It is a Hotel.
It is not in TO. |
OK
Hint: Famous hotel in Montreal |
ritz carlton

|

|
nope.........not there..............the dude is a prospector.......
|
I know this. this is the statue of Flintabbety Flonatin in Fabulous Flin Flon Manitoba.
I did some wiki work to find out more. Flin Flon actually straddles the border of Manitoba and Saskatchewan, but since the majority of the town is in Manitoba, that's the province that gets credit. I'm sure that bureaucrats work out the details of where the property taxes and provincial credits go... Flin Flon is also the birthplace of Bobby Clarke. Name origin from Wikipedia: The town's name is taken from the lead character in a paperback novel, The Sunless City by J.E. Preston Muddock. A prospector named Tom Creighton found the book in the wilderness. The story is about a man named Josiah Flintabbatey Flonatin, who piloted a submarine through a bottomless lake. Upon passing through a hole lined with gold, he found a strange underground world. When Tom Creighton discovered a rich vein of almost pure copper, he thought of the book and called it Flin Flon's mine, mercifully shortening the name. The town that sprung up around the mine adopted the name. Flin Flon shares with Tarzana, California the distinction of being named after a character in a science fiction novel. The character of "Flinty" is of such importance to the identity of the city that the local Chamber of Commerce commissioned the minting of a $3.00 coin, which was considered legal tender within the city during the year following its issue. A statue representing Flinty was designed by cartoonist Al Capp and is one of the points of interest of the city. Pot: Flin Flon gained international notoriety in 2002 when the Government of Canada awarded a four-year contract to a Saskatoon, Saskatchewan-based company for the production of medicinal marijuana. Medicinal marijuana is only available in Canada with a doctor's prescription. Canadian users of medicinal marijuana must agree to provide information to Health Canada for research purposes. referenced from: http://images.google.ca/imgres?imgur...3Doff%26sa%3DN Alright, since I am very certain that this is right, here is the next pic. Where is this? http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...to_2000/ts.jpg |
Leto is correct again.
I have no idea where that station is.... |
Me neither but it sure is neat.
South Western Ontario? |
not south western Ontario. Fresnelly, you would be surprised to know where this station is now. (not its original location, but close).
|
|
I found it.
Todmorden Mills, Toronto I found it from this image http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/8...58paintse4.jpg Let me know if I am correct. |
OK, No answer from Leto.
I am positive I am correct so... ...next pic: http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/3645/example1hc0.jpg |
sorry for the delay Sticky. You were correct. FYI:
The Don Station, the last surviving station of the Belt Line built in 1899, was moved from its original location on the Don River just south of Queen Street starting on August 2, 1969. Two days later, the three pieces of the station were reassembled at its new location in Todmorden Mills. Todmorden Mills is tucked to the side of the Don Valley pkwy in Toronto, just beside Pottery Road. My question to you Sticky, is how did you manage to get to that painting? |
I did a search on old train station canada.
It was on the second page of results |
is this an office building?
|
Cool building. Can you give us a hint on the industry?
|
It is an Office building.
It is the Canadian headquarters of a huge company. |
General Motors in Oshawa?
|
Yes sir.
|
excellent.. My sister works there. And I bought a toyota. How ironic.
Here's the next one (scooped from the net): http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1.../sandypier.jpg |
Is this somewhere on Vancouver Island
|
No sir, It is not on Vancouver Island. It is a nice view of the pier from up on the hill though isn't it?
|
|
That would be the White Rock pier.
|
man i remember when the sandcastle comps where there.........good times on that beach right there
|
Game on splck... I had my very first wild crab from a trap off of that pier...
|
I puked beside the pier once during the old sandcastle competition. :paranoid: :oogle:
The good old days.:thumbsup: Ok, next: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/splck/wall.jpg |
I know where that is, my mom was just there after her Alaskan cruise... it's on Vancouver island... hang on.
edit... Back. Is it Chemainus? About half an hour south of Nanaimo? |
Chemainus is it. Lot's of murals in that town, nice pub too.
