Another great one Andre. I spent too much time looking in asia.

edward

I think I will try posting another one.

edward

This is going to be obvious to someone. But it is topical.

EDIT: I need to change the pic I posted the one that the picture grich recognizes. BRB

Andre

yes it is, good solve Edward.

edward

I can't really show the exact landmark, just pictures from the area.

edward

There are hundreds of columns here. Some are round.

edward

And other columns are square.

edward

The columns are carved with images of warriors.

edward

It appears that the area is the landmark. There are a number of structures all with the same common local name.

Andre

Ah we know that last one:

El caracol in Chichen Itza, while the leaning god of the rain is known as Chac mool

Andre

Well, although there are more Chac mool's, but not of the the unique Mayan observatory, no doubt topical for the Mayan calendar.

So maybe we continue and a bit more simple maybe this time, surely all those hundreds of daily views of this thread, there must be somebody out there, who can solve this?

edward

The first four pictures were of a landmark within the landmark of Chichen Itza. It was the Mayan Temple of the Warriors.

Looks familiar.



This is an awful picture, Marzena never looked that way.

Andre

Jolie, il doit avoir été de belles vacances.

Borek

Yep.

I lost my job half a year earlier and I had troubles starting on my own, financially it was rather gloomy moment, but we had some money saved for a renovation of our kitchen (that was before we moved where we live now) - so we did the only illogical thing, we bought a trip to Paris and castles over Loire. I don't remember details now, but we have seen Chenonceaux, Chambord (it is Chambord, isn't it?), Anger, Blois and more. Unfortunately I had two rolls of film only, and when we get back to Warsaw we have learned our compact camera (Kodak KB or something close) died just before the trip - I guess it must have been hit or something, there was no a single sharp picture

Next year I bought EOS500N.

Andre

Thanks for sharing, yes it is Chambord, so you solved it
