i'm surprised! but i have a pile of western pics, just waiting to be posted...

BigBen: Is it inside a church?

james t kirk: Gaspe Peninsula

Yes, but what is its name?

JTK, i believe it is Pierced Rock in Perce Quebec? But I don't know that room that BigBen posted...

Ben... is that the ceiling of the House of Commons foyer?

No, not in a Church.

Charlatan, No, not the House of Commons Foyer ceiling.

Close.

Close up image, to help...

Legislative Building of Saskatchewan... in the Assembly Room? None of the pictures of the building seem to show this but one shot seems to suggest this might be the ceiling. The Sask coat of arms is a Saskatchewan give-away.

Too hard, and I was in an evil mood to post that;

It is in the Parliament Building in Ottawa, and is the ceiling of the Senate. I took the close-up of the Saskatchewan coat of arms because that's where I am from, and thought it waaaaay cool.

The brilliant colours of that ceiling was supposed to lend a "Royal Air" to the room. There are also fleur-de-lis, scottish thistles and maple leaf designs throughout, signifying the founding heritages of Canada.

Very cool.

The easiest "Where am I" picture ever posted:

Very close.

Percé Rock (pron. Pear - Say). Or as the anglos say, Percy Rock

Either way, I had never heard of it till 2000 when I was working out there and this guy I was working with (an Anglo) kept telling me, you have to see Percy Rock.

I was like WTF, it's a rock, so what.

Well, when you see it, it is quite amazing I have to admit.

Ben... National Gallery of Canada - that's the Voice of Fire.

Shit. Is that Lake Louise? I want to say it is the main street, but there are waaay more shops than that.

Damn it Charlie. If you say Banff, I am going to be pissed.

Not Lake Louise...

I Think It's Jasper.

Nope... not Jasper.

That's Mt. Rundle overlooking Banff. Your signature serves it well.

This was on our road trip, but I had to pull a picture off the web, because I'm at work.

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...thevillage.jpg

Sorry Ben... it was Banff.

were you allowed to take that picture? last time I tried to take a picture of Fine Art (la Jocunda in Paris) I got my camera yanked by some rent-a-cop...

Fresnelly: Ksan Historical Village and Museum in Hazelton, British Columbia.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...27_06Jan06.jpg

Dude, the folks at the National Gallery gave me a MAP of the cool art, and didn't mind a bit!!! They actually helped me, and chatted with me a bit.

I took hundreds of photos, including some Monet, Pollack, Dugas, Picasso, on and on.

I am not an expert in art, but fuck man, that place was incredible.

I love the National Gallery and make a point of going whenever I am in town... When I lived there I would go every other month and just hang out.

Charlie, this game is hard.

Can we have a new thread, with really easy photos for me? I am feeling "less than average" right now.

Charlatan: That's the Real Jerk Caribbean restaurant at Broadview and Queen. W. (kitty corner to Jilly's)

Here's a really hard one for Ben :D:

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...sts/Ottawa.jpg

Go Ben! Sorry I was being a Real Jerk on that last one... :lol:

I suck at this too Ben. Where are you from? We can send eachother local landmarks. ;)

I'm not Canadian, so don't get mad at me posting hehe... this thread sure does make me want to visit Canada :)

/back to lurking

to be fair, the Real Jerk was tough one for out of towners... but I had it pegged from the first glance! Rice and Peas anyone?


--- Charl... do you spend a lot of time at that particular intersection??? Jilly's? Jerk? :lol:

never mad! post all you want to... and visit us!

Well, since Ben never said anything, and since I'm now back home on the Rock, and hooked up to my high-speed connection again, and since I want to get back in the game, and since I've got a real brain-stumping photo I picked up in Ontarry-arry-arrio I'll say ,"the Parliment Building"

dammit... I was going to guess that. But... which one?

:lol:

It's known as the Centre Block, it has the Peace Tower in the front, thats the big thingy with the clock and the library is in the back. The center block has the senate and the house of commons

It was tough but I knew either you or Fresnelly would get it... I transfer streetcars there when I feel like it... When I took the picture of the Jerk I had just dropped my car off at the Suzuki dealership and was walking up to the Queen car.

I'm going to BOnjour Brioche in about 10 minutes too...

Cool! I'm suprised we didn't cross paths. We had a lovely brunch there this morning, and just got back.

Lucifer: I hope your not waiting for my confirmation before you post. Of course that's the Parliament buildings. How very Canadian of you. ;)


Game on!

Probably just missed each other... what a shame.

Leto... where's the next picture?

me?

I thought we all were waiting on Lucifer. he guessed the parliament buildings...

( i can throw one up if necessary)


Edit:
It's lunch time, so maybe not too much traffic at the moment. So if Lucifer doesn't mind, I will post a pic on his turn (he can have my next one):

this is obviously not taken today. It is from my driving trip last August (see if you can get the location without googling the name of the building):

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...0/dda3dcb1.jpg

I was actually waiting for Fresnelly to say something, only cause he bitch-slapped me on the first page of this thread, so I didn't want to be out of line again.
Leto: Founder's Hall, in Charlottetown, PEI

http://photobucket.com/albums/c363/K..._IMG_01631.jpg

that's pretty small, I'm still new at this transferring pics from camera to the net thing, so let me see if I can do better than that

Charlatan - Feel free to post any Lindsay pics you may have. That's my hometown and I know it better than I know the back of my hand. So you can be guaranteed someone will get it.

If I actually knew any of these, I'd probably want to dig up a picture of Kent street. It's pretty picturesque.

i just tried to do it from yahoo photos and it would'nt link, is there any chance we could get attachements enabled on this thread?

yes Lucifer, that's Founder's Hall in Charlottetown. By the way, I encourage everybody to take in the exhibit there. A job well done by CBC reporter Adrienne Arsenault.

Your pic looks to be one of those sidewalk art sculptures that are scattered around Toronto, but I can't determine if it is there, or another city, by the background

just to harp on this for a bit,

I was at the AGO over Christmas holidays (because my son's ARSE-HOLE of a teacher assigned a fucking massive project due on the 11th of jan - note to principal follows this post) and wanted to take pictures because he couldn't sketch the samples fast enough.

We were only allowed to snap shots, without a flash, of the Henry Moore sculpture garden room. I used my wife's phone to do it, and if i can figure out a way to get them off of the phone without costing 50 cents each (Charlatan? What's your method do you have a usb cable?) some of them may end up in this thread.

Leto, what kind of phone do you have?

She has the Motorola v551 (the MuchMusic edition from Rogers pay as you go plan)

Leto... bad news. Your phone can only download photos by sending them (according to the User Manual I just browsed).

I thought so. I looked at the manual too, but there seems to be the ability to use either a blue tooth dongle, or a usb cable (each of these cost upwards of $49).

they get you coming and going don't they?

**

No guesses or hints on Lucifer's pic?

There's a few of those guys around town. I think Lucifer's is on Dupont, East of Avenue road, but I'm not sure. I might just take a detour on the way to work tomorrow. :)

Nope. The spot I was thinking of, is empty.

This IS a hard one.

i agree. Lucifer! we need hints...

I'm just tickled to have stumped you guys. There are a few of those guys around town, I didn't know that there was one on Dupont, but I saw one in Yorkville while I was in Toronto. Big hint: (and this just really narrows it down for you guys who were paying attention in the early pages of this thread) this guy isn't in TO!

Is that in Saint Johns? I can't remember the name of the premier of NewFoundland that died a few years back, Brian Peckford I think.

Its a guess because I don't remember exactly what he looked like...

mmmm, it's not in St. John's, and it's not Peckford, Tobin, or Williams. Although it does bear a striking resemblance to a stocky Smallwood

let me know if I am close to the mark anywhere:

- Halifax
- Charlottetown
- Saint John
- Moncton
- Fredericton


--- I don't think that the sculpture is a specific person, as the ones around toronto are fairly generic representations of rat race business men


*edit: your pic is no longer displayed....

Success! and thanks to Charlatan and Fresnelly for the tips. Does this narrow it down any?

Kingston, Ontario

Right Province, wrong town. C'mon Charly, we've been here before!

Ha! Good ol' google:

Goliger's Travel. Address: 9 King St. W. Cobourg

A couple of years ago in Toronto:

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...s/toronto3.jpg

I was going to say Coburg but went with Kingston instead. There's a Goliger's in Kingston too...

Well... I'll have to pull this one out of my ass and go with:

7 to 9 King Street West, Cobourg, Ontario.

Only because I can triangulate in Google.


** edit.. damn! too late. don't it figure? no action on the thread for a couple of days, and then wham! we're all here!

Lakeshore Boulevard at Leslie... looking east.

Beside MuchMusic,

toronto, looking south on John Str from Queen

Leto. Game on....

cool.

OK here goes ( I took this one myself):

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...ellRocksNB.jpg

Flowerpot Island in Georgian Bay?

nooooooo. oh no it is not!

although the formation name is correct, the location is off.

Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick

Game on Charlatan, but can you pin point the location?

* going for lunch time run

Damn, I knew I should have cropped that closer!

Hey Leto, could it be Hopewell Rocks, NB?

Leto: Had I seen your post, I would have said Hopewell Rocks as well.

You got it. Where have you not been?

yes. i was there in August, and was duly impressed with the formations. I would have loved to stay longer, but it was about 4:30 pm, and I had a hotel reservation in Charlettetown to make...

hey Charley.

is that U.B.C's faculty of law?

Char...that's the Mission Monastery. I remember visiting when I was a kid.









*wonders why fly knows about post secondary law*

did many roofs at UBC........



*doesn't know shit about law*

not to be picky splck but.........


" Westminster Abbey Benedictine Monastery "


that's what it's called eh........

Game on fly... that was the correct answer. But SPLCK also got it right (if in an abreviated version).

Whichever one of you posts an image first gets it.

splck scored first......and i just was buggin' him..........it's his game on.

You're too kind....what's up?


easy as pie..
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/splck/where.jpg

Penticton, BC... that's a peach!

OK Splck... one big fruit deserves another.

I think I just called you a big fruit...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...001/apple1.jpg

that's okay Charley......you should see him run...



ahahahahhahahah........like a fucking gazelle........


prance,prance,prance...........



:D

World's Biggest Apple, in Colborne, Ontario

I'm pretty sure of that so I will continue if Charlatan does not mind.

http://images.picpile.com/uploads/347941587.jpg

I will give a view in another direction if this is too hard.

I thought the Big Apple was in Brighton... but i guess it's six of one eh?

Is that Crescent Beach (near White Rock?)

How the heck did you know that???

:crazy:

Sure is! I used to live in amongst those trees way in the distance.

I am surprised you got that! Great job!

wow. that was digging back in my memory. I used to work at a blueberry farm in Delta, and we would ride our bikes down to there, and walk them around to White Rock on the railroad tracks. (this was summer 1980). It just look so much like it.

I'm surprised myself... off to look for a pic, as I did not expect to get that.

Surprised?! Yah! I'll say!

I'm guessing, if you posted an arial view of the ocean, he'd get that too!

Ok. Difficult but possible:

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...0/9f15910e.jpg


here's a two-fer: try both of these, or one of them (it's thematic)

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...0/c8ccf97f.jpg

haha.. you mean that wet stuff??

Tachion, I'm jealous, you lived in some nice country...

Gibsons - Sunshine Coast?

Horse Shoe Bay?

It's definitely the West Coast. The trees are big and the houses have that multi-tiered thing of the West.

I'm goin' with Port McNeil......on the Island.


beautiful place too i might add

Tachion, you have a direct hit with Gibson's. The second picture is taken from my brother's kitchen window, of Smitty's Marina (location of the Beachcombers). He also owns the float house and the two sailboats tied next to it.

The first picture is no where near Gibson's tho...

Game on Tachion (any guess on Pic # 1?)

I was going to say: Beachcombers!

Is there anywhere you don't know? holy smokes! But on the other hand did you see how I pegged Crescent beach??

How about my first picture? anyboby know that place?

You totally pegged Crescent Beach... I would never have got that one. No idea on your first pictures either.
