Where am I in.... Canada? - Page 22 - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Charlatan · 02-19-2006, 05:30 AM

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.

james t kirk · 02-19-2006, 10:15 AM

Is it the Quebec Legislature?

Or, more accurately, the Quebec National Assembly?

Charlatan · 02-19-2006, 10:16 AM

No. It isn't in Quebec or Ontario.

BigBen · 02-20-2006, 12:01 PM

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)...

Charlatan · 02-20-2006, 12:19 PM

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.

BigBen · 02-20-2006, 12:35 PM

Charlatan · 02-20-2006, 12:36 PM

That's Dundurn, Sask

BigBen · 02-20-2006, 12:49 PM

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.

Charlatan · 02-20-2006, 01:29 PM

Prince Albert, Sask

Charlatan · 02-20-2006, 01:35 PM

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

BigBen · 02-20-2006, 02:03 PM

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.

Leto · 02-20-2006, 08:15 PM

i was going to say Herbert Sask...

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

Charlatan · 02-21-2006, 06:07 AM

Charlatan · 02-21-2006, 06:08 AM

OK... just kidding... here's the real one:

BigBen · 02-21-2006, 07:05 AM

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.

Leto · 02-21-2006, 10:12 AM

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.

Charlatan · 02-21-2006, 10:17 AM

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

BigBen · 02-21-2006, 11:28 AM

Why I otta....

Is it downtown Calgary?

Charlatan · 02-21-2006, 11:30 AM

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

BigBen · 02-21-2006, 11:48 AM

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

Charlatan · 02-21-2006, 12:34 PM

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

Game on Big Ben!

Holy shit.

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

BigBen · 02-21-2006, 02:04 PM

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

Name the bridge.

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

skier · 02-21-2006, 02:39 PM

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.

splck · 02-21-2006, 05:40 PM

CNR bridge over the South Saskatchewan river.

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

skier · 02-21-2006, 07:11 PM

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

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

BigBen · 02-21-2006, 07:29 PM

Skier, it was the CP train bridge.

Game on, splck...

settie · 02-21-2006, 10:12 PM

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

splck · 02-22-2006, 07:04 AM

fresnelly · 02-22-2006, 09:48 AM

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

splck · 02-22-2006, 10:30 AM

nope, not on the west side of the island.

fresnelly · 02-22-2006, 12:15 PM

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

splck · 02-22-2006, 02:12 PM

yup...game on fresnelly

fresnelly · 02-22-2006, 08:04 PM

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)

splck · 02-22-2006, 08:06 PM

Pooh in White River, Ontario

fresnelly · 02-22-2006, 08:19 PM

You got it! Game on...

splck · 02-22-2006, 08:44 PM

Leto · 02-23-2006, 08:19 AM

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