Advertisement Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 Hi buranca, Take a look here "Do you know the world ?" -- Competition --. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
esquire53 Posted May 12, 2011 Share #7462 Posted May 12, 2011 I should have checked the Google map myself ... I didn't know it is called EASTEX Freeway, I knew it as Hwy 59 South, but it's EASTEX, according to Google. I 'll trust it, so over to you buranca Cheers Uwe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buranca Posted May 13, 2011 Share #7463 Posted May 13, 2011 (edited) Oh boy... my first time posting a challenge here! Frankly, a lot of what I shoot is rural and not heavily populated. Following is a zoom of a location that should be a bit more heavily traffic'd than my usual subjects. With that said, I will open with a clue to help. A place where one might research extending their agricultural futures? V-Lux 1 (420mm) f5@1/200 Welcome, dear visitor!

stuny Posted May 13, 2011 Share #7464 Posted May 13, 2011 I've never seen this but based on your hint, perhaps Clemson's aggie school building? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buranca Posted May 13, 2011 Share #7465 Posted May 13, 2011 Definitely on the right track! School and discipline is correct: Clemson and agriculture. But... this building was built ~2.5 hours from the main campus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearoido Posted May 14, 2011 Share #7466 Posted May 14, 2011 Just a shot, but - The Belle W. Baruch Institute of Coastal Ecology and Forest Science GaryO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buranca Posted May 14, 2011 Share #7467 Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) And a very good shot, Gary -but a bit too far east. You know what they say: It's all about "my location" "my location" "my location" Interesting architecture at Baruch though -and my building does share a page with Baruch on a Clemson website. Opposite my entrance is one of the supposedly largest outdoor malls in the world. My "duney" building is located on a pond that may or may not have alligators in it.

buranca Posted May 14, 2011 Share #7469 Posted May 14, 2011 Still too east... More of a "my" or "capital" location... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
esquire53 Posted May 14, 2011 Share #7470 Posted May 14, 2011 I guess after all your "my locations", it's Columbus SC .. no clue what building Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buranca Posted May 14, 2011 Share #7471 Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) ColumbIa SC... the state capital. Now you have the city, the university, and the discipline. Add some "research" and you will have it! Edited May 14, 2011 by buranca Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearoido Posted May 14, 2011 Share #7472 Posted May 14, 2011 Jeff, Is the mystery location the Sandhill Research Center? GaryO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wattsy Posted May 15, 2011 Share #7475 Posted May 15, 2011 Scotland? (Just to try and narrow the possibilities.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearoido Posted May 16, 2011 Share #7476 Posted May 16, 2011 Ian, It is not in Scotland. To help - the picture was taken on the shores of the Great Salish Sea. GaryO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
smgorsch Posted May 16, 2011 Share #7477 Posted May 16, 2011 Okay, not much to go by here. Is one of the islands Lummi? stefan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearoido Posted May 16, 2011 Share #7478 Posted May 16, 2011 Stefan, Lummi Island is not in the picture. We are South of Lummi. If you translated the phrase "Goose Neck" to Salish you would have the name of the place. GaryO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearoido Posted May 16, 2011 Share #7479 Posted May 16, 2011 The Washington State Ferry Boats in the background are a good clue to the location. GaryO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
