Stillwater Posted September 7 Author Share Posted September 7 While we are waiting for @ikbeniks next photo for our little game, I can give you one to fill the time. As I see, landmark or cityscape products either have iconic views (therefore easy to recognize), or very difficult "everyday" situations. These could be easy...: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boetie Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 OK. I think I've got it, your dollar clue made me think Singapore? Have been through Changi many times but never stayed in Singapore.

Or better yet small coastal village. I grew up in what had been the latter. By the time I came along, growing up in the 1950s, the village of East Rockaway had become a suburban community, a bedroom community for New York City. But still with fewer than 3500 people it had much of the ambiance of the coastal fishing and resort village it had been before WW2. But since the end of the War the county I lived in had become the "fastest growing county in the US." With the new Levittown leading the way, the rural and small town nature of the region was changing forever. But a couple of visionary men decided to preserve some of it before it was all lost. From this vision grew Old Bethpage Village Restoration, a living history museum which preserves a bit of pre Civil War agricultural Long Island. I've happily worked there for most of the last 35 years. Ken 2 hours ago, Nick Cooper said: Hello, not wishing to spoil the fun, the internet will tell you straight away with a picture search. Oi!

Aaaah, I feared it: Tooo easy 😞 As I said, pictures are either iconic (like the Civic Theatre) or totally unknown. Now it is, again, up to @paulk to make it more difficult!

Stillwater Posted September 13 Author Share Posted September 13 One comment: We were standing in front of the (closed) Civic Theatre. As we began to feel sad, because we will probably not return again, a guide cam from the inside. He told us that there would be a private event, but if we were quiet he could guide us through the (famous) foyer. Where he gave us loads of nice stories and information. Great! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civic_Theatre_(Auckland) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
