It's the church that's shaped like an igloo in Iqaluit.

aberkok 06-20-2006 05:10 AM

Wrong...muhahaha!

Charlatan 06-20-2006 05:14 AM

Damn... tricksy hobbitses.

Daval 06-20-2006 05:38 AM

aberkok 06-20-2006 06:03 AM

Mississauga City Hall!

Daval 06-20-2006 07:25 AM

bah, that was too easy. Shoulda picked something harder :P

fresnelly 06-20-2006 10:56 AM

It helped that I've worked on some outdoor events in the square out front.

Towards the upper right of the photo, you can see the amazing Greek style ampitheatre that can never be used because it doubles as a pizza oven during the summer. The whole complex is pretty odd. If you were standing on the square, you would never even know the theatre was there.

Inside, there's this 4 or 5 story straight-line staircase, made of black stone that narrows as you climb to the top. You have to approach it humming Darth Vader's theme from star wars to fully appreciate it.

Next up:

You know, I've been in that square several times and had no clue that the ampitheatre was there. My sister had her wedding photo's there last summer (backup location due to rain) and we did photo's on that staircase, its a bigass one, I love the Darth Vader reference.

splck 06-20-2006 12:06 PM

Vancouver library?

Excepting the wedding photographer, you wouldn't know about the beautiful Japanese garden either :)

Splk has answered correctly. That's the Vancouver Library, designed by Moshe Safdie.

Game on!

splck 06-20-2006 01:10 PM

Sticky 06-21-2006 12:29 PM

Hately Castle, Victoria BC

splck 06-21-2006 02:43 PM

Game on Sticky.

Sticky 06-21-2006 04:57 PM

Rockin! That's a closeup of the Sam The Record Man neon sign on Yonge at Gould in Toronto.

Charlatan 06-21-2006 05:19 PM

Good eye fresnelly!

fresnelly 06-21-2006 05:32 PM

In a similar vein: :)

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

james t kirk 06-21-2006 05:40 PM

A and A records (obviously)

fresnelly 06-21-2006 05:50 PM

Yep. Right next door, though not for a long time.

Game on James T!

Can anyone name the store in between Sam's and A&A om the photo below? I don't remember it.

Leto 06-21-2006 07:12 PM

Peter Dunn's Vinyl Museum, at the time I believe.

... remember comparative shopping for records between Sam's and A&A's?? back and forth, looking to save $1 off an album...

Daval 06-23-2006 04:03 AM

So who's turn is it?

Looks like it is supposed to be james t kirk

Leto 06-23-2006 08:46 AM

It is indeed JTK's turn.

during the meanwhile, does anybody know what the name of the mountain is in the picture attached (not for a turn, it is still JTK's ). I snapped this shot as I left Vancouver for Toronto. I t hought it was Mt Baker, but I don't think so. It is about half an hour or less into the flight.

Looks like Mt Baker to me. The next closest volcano is Glacier Peak, but that's a fair distance South of the border.

PhilMcGroin 06-23-2006 10:10 AM

hey guys, can anyone play? I should have a couple gooders for the group if that's cool.

cheers
Phil

Charlatan 06-23-2006 12:25 PM

Hey Phil... anyone can play. All you have to do is answer one of the posted pictures and then you can post a picture of your own.

We are just waiting on the winner from the last round, James T. Kirk to post the next picture.

PhilMcGroin 06-23-2006 12:49 PM

Hey great! Thanks for the info. I'll keep tuning in and see if I can earn the right to post one of my own. :-)

james t kirk 06-23-2006 02:49 PM

I have been remiss, thinking about other things...

Charlatan 06-23-2006 04:09 PM

BCE Place. Toronto.

james t kirk 06-23-2006 04:34 PM

too easy...

Leto 06-23-2006 07:27 PM

yup...way too easy, although, it DOES look a little bit like the underside of a bridge....

Charlatan 06-24-2006 05:34 AM

It was pretty easy... but it *is* one of my favourite spaces in the city...

Next!

james t kirk 06-24-2006 12:36 PM

Upper Canada College Gates?

fresnelly 06-24-2006 01:53 PM

Those are the gates that lead out from the Guild Inn sculpture garden to the walking trail overlooking Lake Ontario and the Scarbourough Bluffs.

Is it cheating if I was there last weekend?

Charlatan 06-24-2006 03:01 PM

Game on Fresnelly! I thought this might be tough, but should have known better.

How do the grounds look now that the Guild is closed? Have they demolished the butt ugly tower yet?
