Seventeen Bows Bridge? I googled that.

But the bridge itself, although not easy recognizable because B&W is always a bit more difficult, I must have vaguely remembered from our visit of China in 2014.

I'll post something tonight

Exactly right.

 

If you walk to the left from the main buildings along the lake front you get to the bridge in about 500 metres. I had seen pictures before we visited - but seeing the real thing was very special.

Hello Michael,

 

When was that bridge built, or/& when was it upgraded to its current form?

Best Regards,

 

Michael

Connecting the eastern shore of Kunming Lake and Nanhu Island in the west, the Seventeen-Arch Bridge was built during the reign of Emperor Qianlong (1711.-1799).It has a length of 150 meters and a width of 8 meters. I don't believe it has been modified since.

 

The Summer Palace is absolutely a must see in Beijing.

Sorry for the delay, here's something I found. I want to have the name of the complex where this statue is lying.

Hello Otto,

 

Could we be somewhere in California, or not that far away from there?

Best Regards,

I haven't got a globe here, but it could nearly be at the opposite of the earth . But at least culturally

Hello Otto,

 

I think that the opposite end of the World from California might be somewhere in the Indian Ocean off the Coast of Africa.

 

Your photo looks too dry to be there.

 

I would guess that Japan might be closer?
 

Best Regards,

 

Michael

Yeah thought so, but now you're heading in the right direction at least

Wat Chedi Luang, Chiang Mai?

[otto.f]

Spot on! I thought that I had made it a little more difficult by zooming in on one detail of the whole temple complex, but still..

Actually I was forgotten the name, so thanks!

Your turn!

[anickpick]

What is the name of the place?

Looks vulcanic, Hawaii or that region?

[anickpick]

Hawaii is correct.

It is a historical place on one of the lesser known islands.

Clue: Hansen

The statue of Father Damian in the graveyard of St. Joseph's church, Kamalo, Molokai.

[anickpick]

All right, I'd say it's close enough:   

 

Statue of Father Damian

Molokai

St. Joseph's church, Kamalo     It is on the other side of the Island:

 

Kalaupapa is located on the Kalaupapa Peninsula at the base of some of the highest sea cliffs in the world; they rise 2,000 feet (610 m) above the Pacific Ocean. In the 1870s a community to support the leper colony was established here; the legislature required people with severe cases to be quarantined on this island in the hope of preventing contagious transmission of the disease. The area has been preserved as the Kalaupapa Leprosy Settlement and National Historical Park, which takes in the entire County.

 

 

Now your turn!
