doubice Posted September 2, 2009 Share #2103 Posted September 2, 2009 Stefan, The Wickanninish Inn or, as called by regulars - The Wick. Lovely place. You get an extra piece of chicken on your plate tomorrow. The estate looks very familiar, just can't place it right now...... Will rake my feeble brains....

Olsen Posted September 2, 2009 Share #2104 Posted September 2, 2009 Æhum. Lee Harvey Oswald? Or John Gotti jr.? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubice Posted September 2, 2009 Share #2105 Posted September 2, 2009 Æhum. Lee Harvey Oswald? Or John Gotti jr.? A Lee Harvey Oswald 'estate' ? With a US flag on the balcony? That would be an oxymoron..... I believe this to be connected with the US independence. East Coast around Boston maybe? Best, Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olsen Posted September 4, 2009 Share #2111 Posted September 4, 2009 If it was Oak Hill, the house is about as old as the house I live in here in Oslo (from 1815 - 20). But it is not. Could it be (Ash Lawn) Highlands? I am off to Bergen, Norway today. I have to follow this up on Monday. See ya! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olsen Posted September 8, 2009 Share #2114 Posted September 8, 2009 What you see here is a lighthouse. To give you a clue; what you see is also bunker installations which were once part of Adolf Hitler's Atlantic Wall. So, it is not Florida. Which lighthouse..? Welcome, dear visitor!

Guest suilvenman Posted September 9, 2009 Share #2115 Posted September 9, 2009 Could it be Lisdesnes, Norway? Cheers, Ken. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marquinius Posted September 9, 2009 Share #2116 Posted September 9, 2009 I'll jump in cold feet and all: Brest, France. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olsen Posted September 9, 2009 Share #2117 Posted September 9, 2009 Could it be Lisdesnes, Norway? Cheers, Ken. Ken, It is spelled; Lindesnes.... It is situated on the southern tip of Norway, on a 'nes' pointing out in the North Sea. The Germans had several 88 mm cannons here. British bombers used the lighthouse as a navigational waypoint. Your turn, Ken, - despite your very bad Norwegian spelling... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest suilvenman Posted September 9, 2009 Share #2118 Posted September 9, 2009 Apologies about the spelling, Olsen. Here's the next one. The name of this village, please. Cheers, Ken.
