That leaves Ammundsen Scott, or however you spell that crazy Norwegian's name.

infinite monkey 10-31-2011 02:47 PM

Nope, and nope. :)

It's at the southern Pole of Cold.

infinite monkey 10-31-2011 02:48 PM

Think Cold War.

:lol:

HungLikeJesus 10-31-2011 02:51 PM

Now I recognize it.

That's my house.

Got it!

The coldest place on earth. Acclimatory (is that a word or did I just make it up?) side effects include weight loss. I'm going tomorrow.

HungLikeJesus 10-31-2011 02:57 PM

That's because everything is served with a side of ice.

Gravdigr 10-31-2011 03:02 PM

Goddamn, a squirrel just ran across my window sill. Scared the hell outta me!!

Jeez, that was full-body jolt, too.

OK. Where's this?

Lamplighter 10-31-2011 06:00 PM

quick guess:
woman's costume, cobble street, architecture, fountain in square

Alsace Lorraine area ?

GunMaster357 11-01-2011 03:17 AM

Nope

Trilby 11-01-2011 06:42 AM

Sound of Music-land?

GunMaster357 11-01-2011 07:43 AM

No

Chantilly?

(My head initially said Scotland, but then I realized that was nowhere near gloomy enough.)

I know I should wait for the previous one to be finished, but I have to leave the house soon and I want to throw it in before I go. Where is this?

wolf 11-01-2011 11:25 AM

Clod, that's either Castrovalva or Portmeirion.

I soooooo want to see that place!

Clodfobble 11-01-2011 11:36 AM

:)

I knew wolf would be the one to get it. I thought it might take a little longer, though. Portmeirion for the win!

GunMaster357 11-01-2011 11:37 AM

It is not Chantilly either.

Big fan of The Prisoner, I actually recognized it faster than I did the Dallas School Book Depository.

And I have the Portmerion Tarot deck ... The Hanged Man and The Hierophant are both in the image you posted ...

Sorry but no, it's not Spain.

glatt 11-01-2011 02:19 PM

It looks like France. Loire valley?

GunMaster357 11-01-2011 03:22 PM

Not the Loire

...

You know it is, and I know it is, but women don't like when we refer to their clothes as their "costume."

infinite monkey 11-02-2011 11:30 AM

Yabbut...WHERE?

That picture is of the same place that this picture is of.

Narrows it right down. ;)

Lamplighter 11-02-2011 11:43 AM

Now we get to guess where Quarantine is... earlier posts point to UK.

Spexxvet 11-02-2011 11:49 AM

Isn't it the town from Disney's Beauty and the Beast?

GunMaster357 11-02-2011 02:00 PM

OK. Winner is Quarantine. The picture shows the main square in the city of Locronan, Finistère, France. About 15 miles from home. A most beautiful village.

Here's the Google Maps link: Locronan.

Zoom in and activate Street View.

glatt 11-02-2011 02:02 PM

Cool!

infinite monkey 11-02-2011 02:03 PM

It is pretty.

We just needed some hints.

Mine was the very spot where the Edmund Fitzgerald sank. As far as you know.

GunMaster357 11-02-2011 02:07 PM

Oh, by the way. Quarantine is situated in my hard disk.

Gitche Gumee?

infinite monkey 11-02-2011 02:17 PM

Yes, Hiawatha.

Actually it's just random water. Can't even tell you where I got it now. But I did hope to find a picture of where the EF sank without the EF there to give it away. It would've looked...well, pretty much like I posted.

Just my weird sense of humor. Carry on!

In general, where is this?

glatt 11-02-2011 03:46 PM

BigV 11-02-2011 03:49 PM

Dear glatt.

You need to call the tech support dept to get a new keyboard, cause the one you have now has a stuck F5 key.

I'm currently reading the Ken Jennings book on geography. He talks about a lot of stuff, and some of it is really skimmable, but every once in a while, he throws out an interesting tidbit. Last night I read that the border between Finland and Russia is a really stark contrast in places because in Finland, real estate is presumably at a premium, so they use up more of it with farmland, while right next door in Russia, they just let the trees grow because they have all the room they need.

I thought I'd use that as a "where is it?" but it would be too hard and get tedious.

Gravdigr 11-04-2011 03:05 PM

Every time I hear or see Ken Jennings' name I think of this:

To bump this thread up again... the place + 2 hints
/

GunMaster357 11-05-2011 12:16 PM

That's the Maryhill Museum of Art in Maryhill, WA.

Way too easy.

Lamplighter 11-05-2011 02:06 PM

Yes, it was easy. But for those who are not aware,
it's history and it's collection of Rodin sculptures
might be of interest. (Some are quite erotic ! :facepalm:)
