spylaw4 Posted January 13, 2011 Share #6701 Posted January 13, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Coming in for the kill...... Colonial bell tower of the Santo Domingo church in La Serena. Best, Jan Well done Jan! Full marks. Over to you. Sorry phoehsl! La Serena (well at least the older part) is an attractive and historic town at the mouth of the Elqui Valley. It's about an hour's flight north of Santiago and well worth a visit. Photo was taken on Christmas Day 2006 Digilux 2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Hi spylaw4, Take a look here "Do you know the world ?" -- Competition --. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
doubice Posted January 14, 2011 Share #6702 Posted January 14, 2011 Thanks, Brian. For the next riddle I would like to know where is this hall located. Not just the country ( ) - name of the exact location. Should not be that difficult..... Good luck, Jan Welcome, dear visitor!

Michael Geschlecht Posted January 14, 2011 Share #6703 Posted January 14, 2011 Hello Jan, The oak the furniture on the left is made of looks like a type of oak which grows in Germany. Best Regards, Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubice Posted January 14, 2011 Share #6704 Posted January 14, 2011 Hello Jan, The oak the furniture on the left is made of looks like a type of oak which grows in Germany. Best Regards, Michael That is very well possible, Michael. Unfortunately, I am not an expert on types of oak trees and definitely would not be able to tell from a photograph of a piece of furniture where the wood it was made of came from.....

LeicaBraz Posted January 14, 2011 Share #6705 Posted January 14, 2011 The wood of the benches on the other side doesn't look German to me. So after a careful evaluation I would venture this hall is in Spain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearoido Posted January 14, 2011 Share #6706 Posted January 14, 2011 It has been years, but I am reminded of the Santa Barbara County Courthouse. Is that correct? GaryO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olsen Posted January 14, 2011 Share #6707 Posted January 14, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) That fireplace down the hall seems to be stolen from the Hearst Castle. - I would guess that this is a convent somewhere in Italy or France. Monte Casino? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanCderidder Posted January 14, 2011 Share #6708 Posted January 14, 2011 Hello Jan, The oak the furniture on the left is made of looks like a type of oak which grows in Germany. Best Regards, Michael ???? how could you possibly see that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubice Posted January 14, 2011 Share #6709 Posted January 14, 2011 ???? how could you possibly see that? My point exactly... Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubice Posted January 14, 2011 Share #6710 Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) OK, here we go: LeicaBraz - no matter what country of origin the wood may be , we are not in Spain. Gary - we are not in Santa Barbara either. Olsen - the fireplace may have been 'hot' at times but definitely was not stolen... . Not Monte Casino - hence not Italy. Too early for hints methinks.....

doubice Posted January 14, 2011 Share #6716 Posted January 14, 2011 Still not Italy , not Greece, not Perú. And since Vatican is not Italy, it is not Vatican either.... I am sure that many of you have visited this place! There was a subtle (and ever so subtle) hint in my previous response......... Best, Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubice Posted January 15, 2011 Share #6720 Posted January 15, 2011 It is France but not a war museum. It did however, become useful during both World Wars.... Hint, hint..... Good luck, Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
