Re: Forum Game - Where's That Landmark?

That's a real good catch, Borek. I had trouble finding an image of it even after you gave its name.

You got it, Borek! You can put your own one forward or cede to Greg's one.

Re: Forum Game - Where's That Landmark?

This one (intentionally) very easy. At least for some PFers (and I don't mean just myself and Marzena).

You got it. I thought my NH neighbor might have picked up on that. I had to find a tight crop of the dome - a shot of it on top of that giant Colt armory would have been a dead give-away.

Re: Forum Game - Where's That Landmark?

Wel... I have won similar contest last year and I am running this year's edition right now (Warsaw quiz). So to some extent I am pro Difference is that the contest I am talking about was about Warsaw and many of the pictures were never earlier published on the web (we are talking about pictures of old Warsaw, not contemporary).

So, where is that?



(And - in case you are in doubt - that's not Warsaw ).

Edit: forgot to mention that, this picture was not taken by me, but by Geo (girl I know from other forum).

Bowling Ball Beach, California (or another place that looks just like it).

Re: Forum Game - Where's That Landmark?

So is that it Borek? If it's not, I have to say that a bunch of normal-looking rocks on a beach might be too obscure... Though I might just be confused because I'm from New England and there are smooth round glacial boulders all over the place here.

Re: Forum Game - Where's That Landmark?

No, thats not California. And the place is known as the touristic attraction and scientific reserve just because of these boulders, so it is not just another bunch of glacial stones (although I agree that they may look like).

Hint: they are as far from Warsaw as possible.

Re: Forum Game - Where's That Landmark?

There are some very round boulders in Fiji, and some are hollow, like geodes. Is that where this shot came from?

Okay then, with that hint, are they the Moeraki Boulders of New Zealand?
