No, not in a Church.

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

Close.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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"

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!

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):

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.

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.
