Anileve Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 (edited) OK, this is in Iran. Where is this, what is it called? Persepolis. Iran is quite beautiful. I found these two pictures which are simply mesmerizing. http://www.clubiran.com/IMAGES/shiraz_hafezie.jpg http://www.bamjam.net/Iran/images/Shiraz02.jpg Edward is that mountain Kilimanjaro? If it is, the photo is too vague to guess. I would choose one with a giraffe. Nakharar, I still don’t know what that fairy tale castle is, but I can see myself renting one of the apartments in those charming buildings which look Danish, like something out of Hans Christian Andersen’s stories.

ED Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 yes Develushka jan it is, damn looks very much like Ararat dosent it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armat Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 This one even I can't figure out sure nice slopes to ski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakharar Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Lol, Armat I'm there next winter. I like a nice, challenging curve. Anileve, but then there are no palm trees in Denmark. Those two places are nearly adjacent to each other though they look worlds apart. I posted the pictures on purpose and it really paid off. No replies in a week. Not even close except one person who was on the right track, but then trailed off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormig Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 This one is boring. Let me just say that it is the excavated portion of a stadium under one of the nicest squares in Rome. I haven't been down there, actually - just peered through a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azat Posted August 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 (edited) A fairy-tale castle. Another easy one. I got it. This is a castle in Europe. Okay so we are back to Spain, Portugal, Canary Islands, Morocco or Monaco for this castle. Edited August 5, 2004 by Azat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anileve Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Dammit Nakharar, the castle is somewhere in Salzburg. And here is one especially for you, take that! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v153/anileve/bigboy.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormig Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Alright, me too. The unidentified photo I had posted was from Christ Church, Oxford - the Great Hall. It is supposed to be Hogwart's Hall (I'll pay better attention next time I watch any episode) in Harry Potter movies. There. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormig Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 (edited) This is the square in Rome under which the stadium is: http://s94772541.onlinehome.us/cont17.gif http://s94772541.onlinehome.us/cont18.jpg Edited August 6, 2004 by Stormig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakharar Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Isn't that the Piazza Navona? I'm not sure if it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormig Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Yup. Only now to name the stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakharar Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Now that's easy. Circus Domitianus or Circus Agonalis. Take your pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormig Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Now that's easy. Circus Domitianus or Circus Agonalis. Take your pick. Hm? Not just Domitianus? I remember as though the sign said Domitianus. :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormig Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 There are those among us who have been in very interesting places yet won't let on. <_< So I am posting this one on their behalf : http://s94772541.onlinehome.us/cont19.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nakharar Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 I can give you the answers if you want. Don't blame them, Stormig if they are geographically challenged. The first one looks like the Petronas towers. You can't mistake the minarets in the second picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormig Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Kajourakho Nope. Try again. (I've had to look up Khajuraho.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellthecat Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Nope. Try again. (I've had to look up Khajuraho.) Probably somewhere in Cambodia, or maybe Vietnam. Indian pagodas tend to be much lower and squater, Burmese ones more slender and pointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellthecat Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Probably somewhere in Cambodia, or maybe Vietnam. Indian pagodas tend to be much lower and squater, Burmese ones more slender and pointed. And given the crowd Stormy now likes to mix with Vietnam and Cambodia are much more likely than Burma or India (since the person she knows who went there was probably not going there primarily for the monuments). For similar reasons it is not likely to be an out of the way or unusual place, but somewhere the single male tourists go to make their visit to the country appear "respectable" - i.e. t's probably Angkor Wat.

That's right, and it was Boghos who visited this place years ago, you turd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellthecat Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 (edited) Please, language Stormig - even if you disagree with the reasoning that did take me to the correct answer without actually visually recognising the place. --- Small edit. --Sip Edited August 6, 2004 by Seapahn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
