Thought I would start a new Off Topic thread, just because I can.

From the picture, figure out where in the world I am. start with country, then town, then where in the town...

I got a million of them. Feel free to play along!

so...where am I?

Paris, Left Bank.

Denmark

sign is in english...

england?

Calais

3 french cars in a line ... France

Straight from the website:
Spar Shipping is a shipping line based in Copenhagen. With a total of five ships we offer all kinds of passenger sailing all over Denmark.

I think the phone number is a French number as well. How about Nice?

denmark is correct..

Copenhagen is correct..

We could go on or I will find another picture later...

but, where in copenhagen???
keep playing...

that clue was too easy....

Spar Shipping ApS · Nyhavn 61 · 1051 København K

rich you got it!!

only it was 71 Nyhavn....

now for another....

Jim Bobs Kiddie Carnival Rides. Lexington, Kentucky?

Wrong! No such place.

nope

Looks like a Nike Hercules?

hmmmmm could be.....

They were deployed all over the world but I would guess that one is in San Francisco

Yeah, definitelythe San Francisco Nike Site...

Check this out...

see a few photos down for a nearly identical shot.

Los Alamos

How about this one...

Looks like mulitple launch sites and the trees look like Palm trees...Tel Aviv, Israel

*Edit- dam, you guys are fast

With Tony. They had Nike sites all along the west coast until the '60's and that one looks to be in the bay area.

BTW Tony, as you drive along the San Pedro part of the PV drive, there are a bunch of old 16" gun implacements.

When I was a kid we use to go down there and watch the asians (no dis-respect intended) pluck the snails from the ivy that grew around them.

They would occasionally fire them off for testing, and believe me, it would shake the shit out of our windows. I remember it really well even though I was only 6 or 7 at the time. Scared the out of me...

Yea just north of San Francisco...

Yea tony you got the right idea...

lets play along..

hmmm berlin?

Its almost Italian looking but not quite . . . if only we could see what the store windows say.

It is not Berlin.

Hmmm....fnac....extremely clean...Switzerland?

It is not Switzerland.

Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore.

Amsterdam

It is not amsterdam.

austria

It is not Austria. To help things move along....

I have said "It is not _____" to all the places it is not. Note the exclusion(s)

i.e. think the country shaped like a boot. Question is, where in that country?

how about milano?


and I was going to say madrid too.....

Ding Ding Ding. Milan is correct. Its a tricky one, because its not really the prototypical Italian looking city (like Rome or Florence).

see, this is fun...who is up next??

Ahh, that makes sense

If no one minds . . . give this picture a try.

My guess is in central or south america.

Brazil?

nope . . . it sure looks like it doesn't it. but its not even from the same continent

license plates of brazil

the license plate of this Mercedes looks italien to me

AP stands for Ascoli Piceno - thats a small district at the adriatic coast

so that could be a city somewhere there ...

Gustl

Southern France

Portugal

Here's a fun one....



I'll tell you this much, it's not in the USA

I doubt its France, or Portugal. None of the current license plate designs in those countries are plain white, they all seem to have the EU ring of stars...

Actually. Could be Italy. I don't know if that Merc. could be a 99, (appears to be the last year they issued those plates) but the car in front of it might have the blue bars on either side of the plate.

I'm going to have to go with Gustl....

Yup . . . Gustl's right, the car was in front of the Hotel Eden in Sorrento Italy. The water is almost right across the street.

- so I take the right to post the next photo, o.k.?

I said Netherlands fiurst...

Edit: Its an Anglican church in Ireland. Still figuring this out... I think Dublin
