Dirk Van der Herten Posted June 14, 2010 Share #4521 Posted June 14, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Good heavens, your house is well-defended, Neal! OK, I'll plead guilty, I've never been in Fort Foote and I just googled. I found that many Civil War forts have almost identical guns, but the foundation plates in your photo betrayed the location. So here is a photo of our next location. We are looking for the name of a shrine (bottom right of the photo). Welcome, dear visitor!

vertekijker Posted June 14, 2010 Share #4522 Posted June 14, 2010 Hakone Shrine and Lake Ashi, Dirk? -------------- Frans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Van der Herten Posted June 14, 2010 Share #4523 Posted June 14, 2010 That's it, Frans! Over to you. Beste groeten, Dirk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoehsl Posted June 14, 2010 Share #4524 Posted June 14, 2010 It's lake Ashi with Mount Fuji in the background. The red shrine is called a torii, which is an entrance to a holy place also known as a Shinto. Picture was taken probably from Hakone Town.

Guest suilvenman Posted June 15, 2010 Share #4529 Posted June 15, 2010 My wife and I travelled quite a few times on those trams, Frans. One of my favourite cities because there are districts that are still almost original. Ken. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are a gentleman, passing the opportunity on to someone else. -------------------- Frans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubice Posted June 15, 2010 Share #4533 Posted June 15, 2010 Thanks, Frans. Yes, Ken has the habit of submitting veiled replies where only those who posted the photo know that he knows..... Beside photography, model trains are also among my hobbies and streetcars have been an area of interest for a long time. Lisbon's trams are famous...... I should have known better and should have followed Ken's example - now, I'll have to dig deep; I am slowly running out of digital material to post. Will need a little time.....

Guest suilvenman Posted June 16, 2010 Share #4534 Posted June 16, 2010 Frans, Jan, I think we must share the same taste for beautiful cities! Cheers, Ken. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubice Posted June 16, 2010 Share #4535 Posted June 16, 2010 To guess what city this is will be simple. What I need to know though is, what building is in the foreground and more importantly, what is interesting about it? Good luck, Jan Welcome, dear visitor!

doubice Posted June 16, 2010 Share #4539 Posted June 16, 2010 That dome has a very evocative shape, Jan. Ken. It certainly does, Ken. Best, Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertekijker Posted June 16, 2010 Share #4540 Posted June 16, 2010 (edited) At first glance, it looks very similar to the Hiroshima Industrial Promotion Hall, the ruin of which has become a symbol of the A-bomb explosion. The dome looks very much like it. Is that what you are after? The architect of that building was Czech in fact - Jan Letzel. P.S. I just read the above comments and noticed that Ken has this one nailed as well, but remains reluctant as usual to call it. --------------------- Frans Edited June 16, 2010 by vertekijker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
