Where Is This? - Page 51

All my searches keep leading back to this place. It's similar, but not the same.

I've learnt something today, the traditional Russian wooden house usually found in the countryside is called an izba, but I have still not found this one...

glatt · 12-20-2011, 08:43 AM

yeah, I though izba would be the key, but it doesn't help much.

Gustomesowo village, 30 km south of Kostroma.

Without any hintage, this is my answer and I'm sticking to it.

Next! Where is this? (Just throwing another one in...we'll keep guessing on the izba)

This one might be a lot easier.

The picture shouts out theme park and the state of the paintwork indicates that it is abandoned. A search for abandoned theme parks led to China's Wonderland near Beijing - http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2...erland/100207/

I got it. It's Villa Beauséjour in Paris France.

I found it when one of the sites I went to had "isba" as an alternate spelling for "izba" and a Google image search for "isba" turned up a similar picture. then I clicked through a maddening number of web sites in French that all had pictures of this before I found a link that told me where it was.

I want my 45 minutes back.

That was fast. How did you do it?

For the record, it's Mallows Bay in the Potomac River in Maryland.

Google search on "google earth multiple shipwrecks", the first link opened a map at this location.

It's not really my turn, but I'm going to keep it going.
