otto.f Posted December 23, 2012 Share #11101 Posted December 23, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) In that case I suggest that the guy who came up with Soufflenheim takes the turn, because this was most close as well as geographically as qua pottery, and this is Philipp. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted December 23, 2012 Posted December 23, 2012 Hi otto.f, Take a look here "Do you know the world ?" -- Competition --. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Guest suilvenman Posted December 23, 2012 Share #11102 Posted December 23, 2012 Well, I am speechless!Indeed, it is taken from Google, but, to the best of my knowledge, these air photos have been taken by Leica lenses provided, unless I am mistaken, by Leica Geosystems, therefore respecting this thread rules. In the spirit of the game, I think the original idea is that the photograph entered should have been taken by the poster him/herself using Leica equipment. That's what I've always understood anyway. If the Google one was to be deemed acceptable simply because Leica lenses were used, then why not enter a landscape of India by Cartier-Bresson or a South American one by Salgado?

geaibleu Posted December 23, 2012 Share #11103 Posted December 23, 2012 Sheer nonsense. The thread is about knowing the world, not about knowing the photographer! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted December 23, 2012 Share #11104 Posted December 23, 2012 Ken is right. The implicit understanding was up to now that you post a picture you have taken yourself. Please have a look at the pictures in the preceding 554 pages. The forum's rules are applicable here as well as in any other sub forum: pictures posted in the forum are required to be made with gear made by Leica. Also, you must only post pictures when you are the owner of the appropriate rights. Leica Geosystems is quite another company as the one which produces photographic cameras and lenses, BTW. The thread is a game, i.e. it exists for amusement only. No one gains or loses by posting a puzzle. In this particular instance I do not wish to pose the next puzzle. Since geaibleu explicitly states that he has no suitable picture to post, I yield to anyone who wants to supply the next puzzle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geaibleu Posted December 23, 2012 Share #11105 Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) Ok. Then, here is the same picture that I have taken myself with Leica equipment, in the same way that I could photograph a painting by Rembrandt, or play a Mozart sonata. In other words, it is my version of a known object. Objections this time?

pop Posted December 23, 2012 Share #11106 Posted December 23, 2012 Ok. Then, here is the same picture that I have taken myself with Leica equipment, in the same way that I could photograph a painting by Rembrandt, or play a Mozart sonata.In other words, it is my version of a known object. Objections this time? I have removed your picture again, for the same reasons as before. If the data in your personal profile are anywhere near correct, you have presumably taken the picture in Ontario, Canada, off your screen. Now please stop disturbing this game.

Guest suilvenman Posted December 23, 2012 Share #11107 Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Sheer nonsense.The thread is about knowing the world, not about knowing the photographer! I think that 'knowing the photographer' is an important aspect of this thread and particularly his/her experience of the location that they show when they enter a photograph. Sometimes the poster adds supplementary background information about the location which is made more interesting precisely because it is from a personal perspective. As Philipp says, it's a game that's really meant to be shared and enjoyed. Ken. Edited December 23, 2012 by suilvenman 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted December 23, 2012 Share #11108 Posted December 23, 2012 Seeing that it might be difficult for anyone to resume the game: I accept Otto's suggestion and therefore submit the next puzzle: What is this, and where?

vertekijker Posted December 24, 2012 Share #11109 Posted December 24, 2012 Hi Philipp, Haven't played this game for a long time. I was a regular for years. The change in lay-out made it harder for me to find this thread on my computer. Bad excuse, I know. But I want to commit more again, especially after the last discussion I just saw. It is wonderful how long this game has been around. I started playing it from fairly early on. It has always worked well with the rules we had in place. Let's keep it like that. Ok, now for my guess.I really don't know where this is, but put my detective cap on. I seem to recognize the word 'Bulgaria' or 'Bulgarie' on the wall, and in front of that the word 'de', but not so sure about that. Is this an embassy building from Bulgaria in a French-speaking country? Paris maybe? Cheers, Frans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted December 24, 2012 Share #11110 Posted December 24, 2012 (edited) Hi Frans - nice meeting you here again. I'm afraid, it's not an embassy building and it's not in France. EDIT: There is indeed a connection to Bulgaria and the text is in French, both of which I hadn't realized before, even if it's visible in one of the pictures of this site. Good sleuthing, Frans.

pop Posted December 24, 2012 Share #11112 Posted December 24, 2012 Here's a somewhat different perspective of the same object, which might be more familiar. It offers a couple of other cues, as well.

a.j.z Posted December 24, 2012 Share #11113 Posted December 24, 2012 (edited) I do not recognise the guy. Originally I thought it might be Lenin but it appears to be too new and this guy only has a mustache. The bricks hint at England? Alternatively: somewhere in the north of Europe?

pop Posted December 24, 2012 Share #11114 Posted December 24, 2012 North of Europe is correct while England is not. There are quite a few more bricks at that place. I'm not quite sure that the guy would recognize himself, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thighslapper Posted December 24, 2012 Share #11116 Posted December 24, 2012 just a hunch..... anything to do with world economics ? looks a bit like maynard keynes .... this is the sort of thing they put on the side of big european institutions but I cannot locate it....

pop Posted December 24, 2012 Share #11118 Posted December 24, 2012 Some more bricks of the same building complex (even of the same wall). The memorial is just a few meters to the left of the tourist.

If you can't identify the memorial, the building complex will do. Warning: the reference to bricks and walls is deliberately misleading.

Now I'm standing roughly were the other tourist was in the last shot, with the memorial to my left. The whitish spots are raindrops on my front lens. Welcome, dear visitor!
