Hello JD,

I think some people are sleeping instead of reading this Thread.

 

Helloooooo sleepy people.

 

Best Regards,

 

Michael

[jdlaing]

I think you’re correct.

Hello Again Jim,

 

It would appear that the still sleeping people are still sleeping.

 

Since I do not have the technological ability to put a photo in this Thread: Do you think you might be able to put another of your nice photos on this Thread to see if together we might be able to wake someone up?

Helooooooooo out there.

 

Best Regards,

 

Michael

One more hint and I will post another pic.

 

A Super Bowl was held here.

Hello Stuart,

 

Could we be in the British Isles?

Best Regards.

Hello,

 

the clue is probably the time ball system on the tower. These were used to give exact time signal to mariners so they could calibrate their chronographs. The famous one is in Greenwich Observatory but the ball there is red so we are most likely elsewhere...

Michael & Arto -

 

You seem to be on a similar track -- It's an observatory, but in a different country.

[stuny]

I guess we need a hint. Not Europe or North America.

[mikemgb]

Sydney Observatory.

[stuny]

You got it Michael. You’re turn

[mikemgb]

You got it Michael. You’re turn

 

Astronomy, observatories and historical time signals are something I have always been fascinated in.

 

I'll find a suitable photo to post.

[mikemgb]

Let's start with a fairly tight crop.

St. Giles, Edinburgh?

[HighlandK]

Well it’s a broach spire and I wonder if we are therefore in Scotland. Edinburgh by any chance?

[jdlaing]

Could It be St. Giles Cathedral, Edinburgh.

That would certainly be my guess, JD
