That's the location of the last spike on the CPR.

It's in (or near) Craigellachie, just south of Revelstoke.

BigBen 01-16-2006 12:43 PM

Charlatan, are you fucking autistic? Do you count your toothpicks in groups of 83?

How in all that is merciful do you get these pics so fast? Are you immortal, and travel the land actually witnessing the monuments being built? Do you have a search picture GUI running on your desktop?

I MUST KNOW!!!

Leto 01-16-2006 12:50 PM

BigBen, he wont fess up. I already asked if there's anywhere that he doesn't know.


On the other hand, don't you just LOVE the BC flag? It's (other than our Maple Leaf) my all-time favourite flag.

Charlatan 01-16-2006 12:58 PM

I will take these two reponses as confirmation that I am correct...

In answer to your questions: The amount of trivia that lives in my head is ridiculous. If I could replace it with useful information, I could take over the world.

Is that the church in Cheticamp, NS?

I hope so, cause I'm going to fuck you up on my next pic.
Mwuahhahahahahahhaha

Charlatan 01-17-2006 06:50 AM

Nope... I will post some clues if no one gets it by noon today. (this is a tough one but I know of at least two members on the TFP that know where this is).

Martian 01-17-2006 06:55 AM

I know that church...

Alas, I must wait for clues. It looks mighty familiar, but I'm not sure where I've seen it.

hmmm... i wonder if it is up by your cottage area...

Martian 01-17-2006 07:25 AM

If it's not, there's one very like it near there. That wooden cross in particular is sparking my memory, but I just can't quite place it.

Charlatan 01-17-2006 07:52 AM

Here's another picture of the church and a clue:

Daoust 01-17-2006 10:52 AM

I know that church...

It's the Catholic Church on the Hill in Wilno, Ontario....

between Golden Lake and Barry's Bay!!!

Where did you get those pictures????

Since I got it, I need to know how to post a picture here... somebody PM me.

fresnelly 01-17-2006 10:53 AM

If that's true, then I was way off. I was scouring Quebec. :rolleyes:

Charlatan 01-17-2006 10:54 AM

Daoust is bang on correct... (I knew you'd get it eventually).

By the way, the first clue was suppose to indicate Poland. Wilno is the first Polish settlement in Canada.
http://www.biega.com/photoalbum/wilno1.jpg

The second clue was a painting by Alex Sztasko, Czech immigrant who lived near Wilno. The original of this painting is hanging in the Wilno Tavern (a great place for beer, live music and good perogies).

I didn't know the actual name of the church... but I know it well. I've often wanted to go in for their famous chicken suppers....


See if this works... This is another church... but from where???
http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e2...979/church.jpg

Leto 01-17-2006 11:07 AM

is that the 2nd Baptist Church (i think is the name) in Aurora? Wayne's World Aurora that is...

:lol:

Daoust 01-17-2006 11:10 AM

Incorrect... but not close at all.

Brilliant Idiot 01-17-2006 12:56 PM

Narrowing it down, I'd say Eastern Canada as in Ontario, PEI, NS or NB

Charlatan 01-17-2006 01:01 PM

That is one of the Churches in Killaloe, Ontario.

Calvary Baptist... by the way.

Right direction from downtown but not quite right...

fresnelly 01-18-2006 06:22 AM

Hmmm. I've seen it but I can't place it. I suppose it could be a temple or mosque too. This could take me awhile. I also have visions of exotic Vaughn in my head.

Charlatan 01-18-2006 06:35 AM

I'll give a hint...

It's a Hindu Temple.

Lucifer 01-18-2006 07:20 AM

Is it the one on Brock Road, between the 401 and the 407?

Charlatan 01-18-2006 07:26 AM

Nope... Wrong end of town.

Leto 01-18-2006 09:49 AM

would this by any chance be.. ohhhh let's see:

Hindu Mississauga JayaDhurka Thavsthaman??

at approx Dixie & Derry?

Charlatan 01-18-2006 09:56 AM

No. This is within the Toronto city limits.

Charlatan 01-18-2006 11:52 AM

Wow... this is really stumping people.

One more clue... it is in the North West end of Toronto. Additionally, I don't see it on the Google Satellite map... Those images are from at least 2002. This building is newer than that.

Lucifer 01-18-2006 11:57 AM

Ya got me, brother, I've been googling like crazy and coming up emptier than Lord Ganesh at a premiere of Madagascar!

fresnelly 01-18-2006 12:12 PM

I'm driving up to Orangeville tomorrow. Will I pass it by?

Charlatan 01-18-2006 12:19 PM

What route are you taking?

Leto 01-18-2006 12:21 PM

yes, I've been googling too. It's amazing how many Hindu temples are in Toronto. some of them have pretty decent (rockin) flash intros with music (much to the enjoyment of my office-mates). None of the sites actually have pics of the buildings tho.

You've stumped us.

(off to look for a Hindu colleague...)

fresnelly 01-18-2006 12:27 PM

427N -> 401w -> 410N -> 10N -> Orangeville

Charlatan 01-18-2006 12:42 PM

Nope. You'd come close but you would miss it.

(I will give you a few more minutes and then I will submit another photo).

Charlatan 01-18-2006 01:05 PM

OK. That was harder than I thought it would be.

It was a picture of the Shree BAPS Swaminarayan Hindu Temple. It's is located at 61 Claireville Drive, Toronto (Finch and 427).

Quote:

Opened in July 2004, the BAPS Shree Swaminarayan Mandir is a traditional Hindu Mandir (Temple) located on a scenic 18-acre site near Highway 427 North and Finch Avenue West. Intricately hand-carved in Burmese teak, the Mandir reflects the traditional wooden courtyard (Haveli) craftsmanship of India. The Mandir’s beautiful architecture features a richly hand-carved wooden courtyard that opens into a magnificent foyer with soaring wooden columns and panels. Hundreds of dancing peacocks, delicate lotus flowers and royal elephants beckon in greeting. The building serves as a place of worship for the Hindu community and a place of inspiration for all visitors. The word Haveli refers to an Indian mansion built in a particular architectural style. Haveli style architecture was a popular in India during the 17th century, featuring a low, multi-storied building with a central open courtyard decorated both inside and out with intricate woodwork. Inspired by His Divine Holiness Pramukh Swami Maharaj, the Toronto Mandir is an architectural masterpiece with breathtaking intricacy not previously seen in Canada. The Mandir has attracted many well known visitors including Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty, Toronto Mayor David Miller, Chief Justice Hon. Roy McMurtry, Mr. John Tory, Leader of the Ontario PC Party, and Police Chief of Toronto, Bill Blair. The breathtaking architecture of the Mandir has been recently featured in the Toronto Star and in Canadian Interiors Magazine.
