Christchurch

Am I going mad or didn't the same pic get posted up some months ago?

I'm certain I've seen the same pic. Oh God the gypsy was right, this IS how it ends.....

No you are not going mad..... I've seen it somewhere if not on here..to do with Queen Victoria IIRC

Probably not many other clock-worthy Diamond Jubilees in 1897.

Probably not

I'm going to have to search back through this thread as I'm bugged to hell about this. I'm even certain that the answer turned out to be Christchurch. I think.

I'm not going to be able to sleep 'cos of this. Curse my sporadic memory.

[Kenty]

Amateurish has it, yes Christchurch. Victoria memorial and still standing, unlike most of Christchurch!
I have not posted it before or i don't remember doing it! Anyway it lasted a little while!

The original "rules"...

The game:
Pick a photo you have taken on your travels to see if anybody can guess where it is. The further off the beaten track the better.

Rules:
- Must be your photo, not nicked off the net.
- The location must be in some way identifiable in the shot (think holiday forum rather than photography forum biggrin)
- Whoever gets it right gets to post one of theirs (or open it up if they want to).
- Wait until the current photo is guessed before adding one.
- When yours is identified, update your post with the answer.
- When guessing, please don't just chuck the photo into an image search tool. There's no fun in that.

Some of us take a narrower view on those original rules - I googed that after my initial guess as I knew I wasn't going to be able to get it (Continental black hole in my knowledge!)and found it in a few seconds, but left it alone. I like the process of deduction that comes with people asking OP questions to narrow it down and find the location, irrespective of who ultimately gets it, but ultimately it's the participant's call within those otiginal rules.

[v15ben]

I'll start the bidding on the new one with, "is somewhere in the Lake District?"

[silentbrown]

That can't be UK, as sheep would have killed all the trees

Still Europe. I think but maybe somewhere odd like Slovenia?

Well, that went quicker than expected! Any guesses at to location in Slovenia?

Same here.......... Never been to NZ but I knew 100% I had seen the clocktower (or similar) pic somewhere before and recalled a link to Queen Vic... so the curiosity got the better of me and I goggled it but there was no way I would have posted the answer.......can't see the point if honest.

Triglav? Random guess, as it's the only lumpy bit I know of there.

[Bonefish Blues]

Isn't Slovenia largely comprised of lumps (or is my experience of it influenced by salivating over too many beautiful mountain trout streams?)

[AstonZagato]

The only time I might use Google is where I know the place (from the picture rather than the clues) but can't quite recall the name, so I just use it to jog my memory: e.g. "That place outside Tetbury. Tree collection." [quick google] "Westonbirt Arboretum". But not if I have no idea (on the clock tower one, I've never been to NZ so not going to google it).

Acceptable?

That's kind of how I do it.
