Forum Game - Where's That Landmark?

Borek

During a year there are moments when you can take a picture of the locomotive any time of a day, there are moments when you can't take pictures at all.

That is, unless you have a tripod or a strong flash.

Gad

Bah! I thought it's an easy one, I wasted half an hour trying to dig it.

Borek

In a way it is an easy one.

Have you noticed it has a red nose?

Borek

To be honest I have no idea why some prefer sled over a train. I could understand if the sled was used to get to the train, that's about logical distance to cover by this kind of transport.

Great one Borek Did you go that far north on last summers vacation?

edward

No mistaking old number 1147 so here goes.

About a square mile of land art.

edward

Anyone who wants to stay nearby can spend the night in this very quaint log cabin. ( Reservation required)



There is a bit of a hint on the roof of the cabin.

Borek

Exactly.


Not only there, up to the very end of the continent

The FIELD of land art has some interesting works. This one isn't exactly my favorite.

Andre

Well half an hour is not a lot in this game. But what you could have done, was noting the colors of the modern train in the back. Assuming that the location is not in the south, based on the vegetation, you could have tried googling train+ country in the vicinity of Poland. Okay Germany would have been a bit distracting but it misses the grey roof and the diagonal red panel. And sooner or later without the Rudolf the red nose reindeer hint (nice) you would have tried Finland, to find the same patterns. Then steam loc Finland shows that this type of loc was overly abundant and it's easy to get the type, by this google, it's the TK-3, and we see also the series # on the pic, hence we google tk3 1147 to find it as first hit.

Just try to use all information available.

Nice one, Edward.

Andre

Ah so it's the Lightning field in Quemado

Right and I think it sets a record for being the most boring landmark so far.

Andre

Not at all, actually most amazing. How to get to think what these poles are for. I was thinking some amateur VLF radio receiver or maybe an amateur radio telescope site.

Back for a new one in a bit. Dinner time.

Andre

Sorry for the delay.

Doesn't look like much, but I hope you'll or even when it's solved. Obviously hints could be required and the first one is, that it's near a red cave.

Andre

You will also find this building there:

Andre

Of course I had to remove the name of the place on that shop and on that railway station.
