Forum Game - Where's That Landmark?

OmCheeto

Umm... These kids are not playing......

If anyone has a landmark, new, midlin', or old,

then please post it.

It's time for this one, to go home.

edward

Greetings ladies and gentlemen. I have had this one since last year.

edward

I think the first picture should give away what it is.

And with this one should help determine where it is.

fuzzyfelt

I think, in some other colonies, it means to be entangled in something, rather than free to do silly things.

Is that the Minaret of Jam, Western Afganistan, Edward?
If so, have another turn.

edward

It is definitely the Minaret of Jam.

UNESCO wants to stabilize it but they haven't figured out how to get large equipment into the remote area.

I don't have another landmark ready so I will pass the turn on to whomever does.

OmCheeto

Did we ever figure out where this was?

Borek

Greg took this picture through the window

OK, he had to walk a little bit over 2 miles to take this picture.

OmCheeto

Walk? What's that?

ps. If Greg guesses the landmark correctly, after all these years, does he get to post the next landmark?

Borek

Oops, sorry, it is an European thing. You move your legs in turns (left, right, left, right) to transfer the body from one place to another.

We have walking here, but it is quite local. There is no "walking to the store" or anything like that. Duke loves it when we wander in the woods. There are no landmarks in the wood, though, and precious few near this town.

Enough I guess about the Allan-Bradley clock tower. Meanwhile, maybe another (intended) tough one.

The original CAD drawing from this bridge comes from the site of the architect and it has been modified and tested to be reverse image search proof:

The Langebrug (Long Bridge) or Verfroller (Paint Roller Bridge), Haarlem.

Andre

That's correct, good find. I entered it in wiki this morning; The paint bucket, or "bridge guard house" has been installed there only last week, while the Bridge is 17 years old.

OmCheeto

Ha! Even if you'd displayed an actual photo of that thing, I would have never guessed it was a drawbridge mechanism.


Paint Roller Bridge is a very good name for that thing.

edward

And even with Om's picture I couldn't tell precisely what the draw bridge lifted.

Looking at the last landmark's modifications which were vouched for, the result of those modifications looks much like those that were shown to be unsound.
I wonder if Greg got to see his landmark return.
