Where is this?

[Guillermo]

bntii,
Last news from that tower in the info you posted are from 2004 and it is said to be endangered because of the quick dissapearing of the West sandy point. If you go to Google Earth (images there from the West point are from 2008) , you'll see there's no such a tower there anymore.

All,
If you allow me to post about a place where I have not been, but that I discovered when searching for bntii's last teaser, I will ask you...where is this?


Cheers.

Wow, thats a portrait of you Guillermo in the second picture! You´re quite famous there!

I just really started to play this game here so catching up on the 'rules'.


These I have found:
-must have been there.
-must have a boat or ship?? In picture? I don't see this followed?
-one teaser at a time.
-post big pictures.
-give hints after some guesses made.
-correct answer provides next teaser.
-win and must pass on next but may guess.

Straight forward enough.
Have I missed the most important ones?

Have fun---

you missed that.

Must have been there is not always followed.
Boat or ship related I would say.
When you have won one turn, you cannot win the immediate next. Otherwise only you and me would play this game!

Yeah this fun business keeps sneaking in all over this forum...

I'm not sure what you mean by that!


Hopewell Rocks


"Approximately 300 million years ago, the nearby Caledonia Mountains deposited sand and gravel along the ocean’s floor. This eventually created sandstone layers and over the centuries as the water froze and then melted, fractures were created in the rock. Time and erosion caused by the water and the wind continued to sculpt the Fundy shoreline into dramatic rock formations. The best place to view them is near Hopewell Cape, in New Brunswick."

Guillermo- While looking into that one I found some interesting articles from the min 1800's about that west end of Sable island falling into the sea. The island has lost some 45% of its length over the last 100 years or so..

yes well knew Richard would know Lubeck, Pamir, tragedy really, 1958 sank hurricane with all sail set,
weird to stand by the boats in Lubeck, was there 4 days

Guillermo, did you mention Sable Island?

He did Ragnar.

Bntii

the reason for our last addition to the rules is to avoid a ping pong effect. So YOU have NOT been allowed to give the right answer in this case! Guillermo noticed a while ago, that just two of us were playing, and he was right to argue. It gets boring of course, if just two play a game.

Regards
Richard

Thanks apex- I did not understand that.
I thought the rule was may guess but not win right to next teaser if correct.
Understood now.
Thanks

So, then who makes the next? Hoyte maybe? Mark??

Not me, of course!

bntii,
Hopewell rocks are in the Bay of Fundy, which is said to have the highest tides in the world. I didn't know that. I thought it was the Bay of Mount Saint Michel in France.

Raggi,
No, I did NOT mention Sable Island (but almost) because I was supposed not to be allowed to win that teaser

Cheers.

[Guillermo]

BTW,
The rule of "have been there" seems to me somewhat limiting nowadays, after having played around hundreds of posts. In my case, I'm running out of interesting places.
I suggest to lift up that limitation. What do you think?

Cheers.

Fully concur!

But boat or ship related, or at least interesting coastlines, I think we should keep!??
Any other opinion?

Richard

[bntii]

Concur.
Must be imbued with salt air/seafaring and hopefully a bit of history..- agree.
