is that a park entrance?

not an entrance so much, but it is in a park.

Is that the famous Golden Cedar that some nut bar killed a few years back?

Is it in Stanley Park, Vancouver?

right spot, but what's it called?

Lumberman's Arch in Stanley Park?:

Lumbermen's Arch, a log archway, is at Km 3 (Mi 2) of the drive. There's a picnic area, a snack bar, and a small beach here. The Children's Water Park, across the road, is a big draw throughout the summer. Cyclists and walkers can turn off here for a shortcut back to the aquarium, the Miniature Railway and Children's Farmyard, and the park entrance.

Game on Leto...

Is that in Victoria? It looks like a fancy BC building

Tsk, tsk, Janey. ;) This is St. Lawrence Hall in Toronto, at King St E. and Jarvis.

I may not get to a computer until this evening, so post away if you think know this one:

Louisberg?

Doesn't look like Louisberg... all the pictures I was looking at don't have that distinctive brick structure.

Not Louisberg, but definately a Fort.

Hint: It's in Upper Canada.

Fort Mississauga in Niagara-on-the-Lake...

That's the one; unattended and sitting in the middle of a golf course, at the edge of the water.

Game on Charlatan :thumbsup:

isnt this that church on the east side of Broadview, going north from the jail? Opposite from the park

Game on Leto.

I renew my protest that this thread is elitist and very "Charlatan Geographic" centered.

I would like to invite people to my thread (which I will be creating shortly) called "Where am I .... In Saskatchewan?"

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hey! Who was it that posted pictures of your hometown... Winnipeg?

Yeah, I'll be starting "where am I in Newfoundland?"

I'll be starting "Where are my keys in...? :rolleyes:

"Where am I in places that cello spends time in?"

What a boring thread that would be! ;)

noooo cello! that wouldn't be boring at all... post some!

here's an inside shot:

St. Lawrence Market.

Game on Aberkok... here's an outside view:

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...0/6533bad0.jpg

Is that the St. Laurence Market?

:lol: :crazy: :lol:

Since I've just about had it with my photi being guessed in about two seconds, I've decided to up the challenge:

...alright just kidding...where am I standing? What am I looking at?:
http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c1...reinCanada.jpg

That has to be under the Marquee at the Paradise Cinema.

It was a porn house just before it became part of the Festival Cinemas chain. Friends of mine cleaned it out. They found a "room" at the back where the working ladies would help out the customers. They described the smell of the place as "funky."

The last time I was there was back in the 90s with a bunch of staff from the Bloor Cinema (where I was working at the time). We were there to see Polyester and we had dropped some sweet acid. It was the start of one of the oddest evenings I think I ever spent and included madness, blowing snow and a nuclear reactor.

Oh man sweet karma

:lol:

Yeah, yeah....laugh it up. I'll stump you guys yet (and by you guys, I really mean Charlatan). I knew I shouldn't have stood under the Paradise marquee.

Gaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyuuuummmmmmmmm ON!

Ok... next.

Location and name of the building.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...1/d491a532.jpg

Chateau Laurier Ottawa?

No. Not in Ottawa.

Hotel MacDonald in Edmonton?

I can't say 100%, but I'm pretty sure that it isn't the hotel mac.

Yeah, I don't think the roof is quite right. Sure is similar though.

Well then I'd venture that its another fairmont property, but I have found a picture to match.

ChateAu Frontenac, Quebec city, Quebec, Canada?

No right answers so far... I know there are at least two people on this thread who know where and what this is..

By the way, it isn't a CP/Fairmont Hotel.

Is it the Quebec Legislature?

Or, more accurately, the Quebec National Assembly?

No. It isn't in Quebec or Ontario.

That is the Bessborough Hotel, in Saskatoon Saskatchewan.

The camera is standing on the Vimy Memorial Bandshell, facing north.

It is the most picturesque building in Saskatoon, and next to the Provincial Legislature, the entire province.



And, BTW, although not originally a CP hotel, it fell under the same chain for years due to its historical nature. It is now part of the Delta chain of hotels.

This picture tells the great story of HOAR frost. Corract spelling, but people look at you funny when you say it. Yanks don't usually see it, and visitors are often overwhelmed by our "Diamond Trees" (as one japanese man once said)...http://www.hrhousing.sk.ca/images/saskatoon.jpg

I knew our boy from the sticks would get this one...

It looks like a beautiful hotel... and I knew what Hoar Frost was.

Game on BigBen.

That's Dundurn, Sask

No, no it's not.

I am looking for the town, and the mile-marker with the sign behind it should help.

Hell, you guys and your Toronto photos was way harder than this.

Prince Albert, Sask

That's Duck Lake and that's "Bev and I" in the photo... I knew I'd seen it before.

Game on, Charlie.

Let's keep this thread in the prairies for a bit, just for the sake of national unity, eh?

And by that I don't mean those damned pretty mountains. I mean the PRAIRIES.

i was going to say Herbert Sask...

then... just do it! :thumbsup:


(i've got a really good one from the prairies.... waiting for my turn)

OK... just kidding... here's the real one:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3.../untitleda.jpg

That first one is my uncle's farm... good year for hay this year. Too wet to cut, but a bumper crop nonetheless.

The second one... Shit, I have to get out more.

I was going to say the corner of King & jarvis - or Sherbourne... ish.


But looking at those light standards, I don't think that this is in Toronto.

This is not in Toronto. This is in one of the three prarie provinces as requested by the grumpy bigben...

Why I otta....

Is it downtown Calgary?

Nope. Not a big city. Come on Little House on the Prairie... you should be able to get this one. :lol:

That isn't City Hall in Moose Jaw, is it?

I knew you'd get it pa! I knew!

Game on Big Ben!

Are you shitting me?

Did I guess right?!?

Holy shit.

/ben wanders off, dazed, to find another Canadian pic

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...025_edited.jpg

And as I laugh menacingly, I must command all of you:

Name the bridge.

If it is too hard, I will start giving clues.

It looks like that one (cpr? CN?) rail bridge in Saskatoon... I can't see the neat metal staircase you climb up to go across the walkway though.

CNR bridge over the South Saskatchewan river.

edit...didn't see skier had aready posted an answer.

actually, I don't have any more pictures on my computer :o

splck if it's the right answer you're more than welcome to post the next picture

Skier, it was the CP train bridge.

Game on, splck... :thumbsup:

If I could join in on the game, I got a picture to post :P

:D gotta know the location of the previous picture first. If you got it you can post yer picture

where was I?
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/splck/guess5.jpg

Lennard Island (On the west coast of Vancouver Island near Tofino)?

nope, not on the west side of the island.

Active Pass Lighthouse, on the Northern Tip of Mayne Island in the Strait of Georgia

yup...game on fresnelly

Sweet. I found it thanks to this site: http://www.fogwhistle.ca/bclights/index.php

This one isn't quite in the Prairies, but getting there:

(That's my forehead at the bottom)

Pooh in White River, Ontario

You got it! Game on...

oh ... nice shot. I've got one, as soon as it's my turn again.. can't wait.

Lethbridge, Alberta?

yeah you got it, it's REALLY impressive in person

i wonder how many drunk (or not so drunk) people have tried to walk across that bridge..

Yeah, the thing really is massive when I first saw it. I feel bad for the railroad conductor that has to ride over that thing ;)

I've thought about it quite a few times, I wasn't drunk or stoned in any of those time

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...eamicanada.jpg

Just outside of town, near Radium Hot Springs? I totaly recoginze the stone roadside barrier and the pass through the rock, and I think it is on the north side, coming into town from the kootney pass. It could be south of the hot springs, right before invermere though.

looks like an old railway cut, but with the railway gone now.

Bingo, the ball's in your court now

no time to post a picture. feel free to post anyone, keep this thread alive.

ok then, I'll post one myself now that I'm back. I'm embarrased that I have virtually no local digital images, so I'm stuck with non-albertan pictures to post.

http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e2...615resized.jpg

is that in Wood Islands, PEI?

yep. I was faced with the choice of grabbing a bite to eat and potentially missing the ferry. I took a picture and ate from the cafe on the boat.

next
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/splck/guess6.jpg

wow. you should have had some chowder and mussels from the Crabby Shack. without a doubt, the tastiest, and cheapest food we had while on the Island. Cora's was a close second (and there's a Cora's in Toronto too now)

When I saw your pic, I just had to show mine... my kids faces have been cropped in accordance to the Forum rules, but they are fans of Sponge Bob and so this place was a natural!

The back door of Douglas Library ? (Kingston)... a shot in the dark.

Wrong Province.

UBC in British Columbia

You're right Kirk! A friend showed me pictures of that building. I think that's the library.

http://www.chem.ubc.ca/faculty/dake/...cs/library.gif

yep.

Escellent...

Here's my submission....
