Extremely nice photo. That was either a very long lens or a really long walk. Got it in one! It was a wide lens and a long walk! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

war Posted September 14, 2021 Share #20042 Posted September 14, 2021 Seems like everywhere you go you see this scene. I posted two different places (breaking rules?) get the location of either one or both for extra credit. Welcome, dear visitor!

Michael Hiles Posted September 14, 2021 Share #20043 Posted September 14, 2021 The bridge is the Samuel Beckett bridge in Dublin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dublin is correct for the lower photo, so it's your turn. Buenos Aires is the location of the Puente de Mujer bridge in the upper photo. Note: For those interested in bridges, there are actually two bridges in Dublin designed by Santiago Calatrava, The other, further up the Liffey is named for James Joyce. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hiles Posted September 16, 2021 Share #20048 Posted September 16, 2021 Ah, ha. It is a Dutch Church. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted September 16, 2021 Share #20049 Posted September 16, 2021 St. Bravo's church in Haarlem? If so we saw it after the US government shut down in late 1995 due to intransigence on approving a debt ceiling. We were in Washington DC to see the Vermeer exhibit, but the museum was closed. Barbara asked the guard if the exhibit was going anyplace else, and he replied, the Hague, with a wry smile suggesting we were completely out of luck. However, we went in April 1996 to the Hague, Delft, Haarlem, Amsterdam and a few pother places, and the Vermeer exhibit was stunning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hiles Posted September 16, 2021 Share #20050 Posted September 16, 2021 Exactly right. This church at one time was the burying place under the main floor for the good and great of Haarlem. But the rotting bodies created a certain unwelcome smell. Hence the well known phrase "the stinking rich". Vermeer - not to be missed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted September 17, 2021 Share #20051 Posted September 17, 2021 Thank you Michael - This one will be obvious as to country, but can you name where it is, and the nickname for where it is?

war Posted September 17, 2021 Share #20052 Posted September 17, 2021 Stewart, you didn't make this an easy one, every town in Australia has one of these WWI soldier statues with the inverted rifle and every town has a strange nickname! However, this one is in Circular Head, Tasmania and it's nickname is The Nut. Final answer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted September 17, 2021 Share #20053 Posted September 17, 2021 Excellent, Wally. In addition, I don't know if the title still stands, but it has been named "the tidiest town in Tasmania." Your turn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
