Challenge: what's this place?!

[Ian]

Here's a new challenge for you all - it's an idea suggested by David, who helps with a lot of technical work underneath DPNow.

It's a bit like a salon, but there are key differences. I start the process by posting a photo (below) and the challenge is for you to guess where it was taken (country and name of the town or city will suffice). The first person to guess correctly by posting their correct guess of the location will take on the reins and post another picture that represents the challenge again.

There is no point in posting completely cryptic pictures - there need to be some clues in the photo. I would suggest posting photos of interesting places (not your back yard!) maybe from your holidays. I will moderate challenge and reserve the right to ask the poster of the next challenge picture to think again if it's not appropriate. But in the end the idea is to have some fun and share your interesting photos from around the world! Here goes:



If you get stuck, I will provide some clues later

That ones too easy Ian, its Venice

[Ian]

Re: Challenge: what's this place?!

How on earth did you work it out?

I was really expecting to have to provide some clues!

It's clearly Italy, but, but, but! (splutter!).

Anyway, well done Stephen - over to you!

That's a bit too easy. Put the restaurant name and phone number in to Google, takes about 5 seconds!

Re: Challenge: what's this place?!

OK, I clearly underestimated this!

Anyway, Stephen got there first and I'm sure he won't make the same mistake

Come on Stephen, let's see your photo clue!

No Google for me, I used to live in Naples and was a regular visitor to Venice courtesy of NATO, it was a tough life in the Royal Navy!

Stephen is very well travelled and I'm fairly confident that your wish will be answered in full

Re: Challenge: what's this place?!

OK, its all very well being well travelled, but the thing is you tend to take holiday snaps at well known places, which are a dead give away with a challenge like this

Anyway, here is a shot which perhaps to most will not be instantly recognisable. However there is a big clue in the photo, which to some may well make it more obvious.

The shot was taken through glass so there are a few reflections and smudgy areas, but its the view that's important. I'd really like the name of the city and the name of the clue which gives it away

Re: Challenge: what's this place?!

Weeeellllll, I don't know (yet!) but there is what appears to be a baseball stadium?

Re: Challenge: what's this place?!

My guess? Shea Stadium in New York City, and from the angle I'm guessing the shot was taken from the Queens Museum of Art.

The stadium (and the Grand Central Parkway) gave it away. But then again I could be wrong.
