Where is this?

Oh, that one's easy! I thought I'ld let ya'll finger that one out.

 

You guys are killing me!

I had to come down from orbit just to post this for yuz!

The memorial is.....

 

OK so it appears you have the "google-earth image" right but where is it?????? I wanna know too y'know... Ahhhh so, "Put-in Bay" on South Bass Island, just south of the border of a civilised country?

OK I have nothing to post but the hunt was fun and I learned something, Lets now divert our attention to "Find that out and then you'll be able to play Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego!" (were you aware I come from the future)

 

....a Peace Memorial named after a dead guy who had a hand in the "War of 1812".

Find that out and then you'll be able to play Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego!

The State Motto where this monument is from:

""With God, All Things Are Possible"

But with a high speed connection, that ain't bad either!

 

South Bass Island??????

Hmmmmm.....Bingo! In the Buckeye State, it beee.

You came from the future? Do you know Sarah Conner? I'll tell you a little known secret. Canada was annexed by George Bush as our 52nd state after they elected a conservative.

It's all a Skull's and Bone's/Mason conspiracy.

 

So, there you have it. Bass Island in Ohio. Ok, here's a nudder picture of that harbor that I hinted Carmen SanDiego about. Let's have some name's people! I want names!

 

Ok, forget that I miss-spelled Carmen SanDiego. It's Carmen Sandiego with a small letter 'd'. I don't want it to appear as if I meant some place like San Diego, or somewhere near there. That might sound like I was giving it away.

This just goes to show how badly Google can be at finding things if all one had to go on was 'Second Tallest Monument'. Coupling that with an 'Images' search, one could drill down several pages of pics and still strike out.

However, just typing in 'Peace Monument 1812', with the 'Images' search and there it was, picture, name and all!
After that, it was just a matter of adding the tag 'coordinates' to get the lat and long position of the monument.

Funny thing was, none of those were the tags I used in cracking the challenge. It was fun giving Google a workout, though.

Keep 'em coming!

Regards.

 

I did say it wasn't a lighthouse...


Try "Oliver Hazard Perry"


Very good!!!!






Dd

 

OK then lets try - Peter, John, George, Ian, Michael, Maurice..............well they're names ain't they? ...................................................Just not the right ones!!

 

They're fine and all....just don't say any lame ducks like 'Dublya'. Obama and McCain we've been hearing too much about.

So where in the world is this place? A harbor or marina name or lat and long will do. I guess I have all you nautical geniusizzzess stumped!

Bob

 

Ain't got me stumped bob, I know when I'm beat and ain't even in the contest; but you probably guessed that anyway!!!!!

 

Looks like Truk lagoon on a bomb run

 

No...this looks like a bombed out island. Only had to do it once...but that wasn't enought for this place. God help the islanders.

Rumor has it this will be a tourist attraction in 10,000 years!



I shouldn't laugh , though. This gift from us to them is 100 megatons worse than a white elephant.
