doubice Posted June 7, 2010 Share #4482 Posted June 7, 2010 Astoria, Oregon? Port Alberni, "Low Tide" You're both at the right ocean, but wrong location..... Try harder! Best, Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubice Posted June 7, 2010 Share #4484 Posted June 7, 2010 Finn Slough on the Fraser River, British Columbia, Jan? Cheers, Ken. Now - how did you get that, Ken? Yes, Finn Slough it is. Almost in my 'backyard' - Vancouver's suburb of Richmond. Surprisingly, this area is just a 10-minute drive from Vancouver! Over to you. Best, Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest suilvenman Posted June 7, 2010 Share #4485 Posted June 7, 2010 (edited) Finn Slough appears to be a fascinating place, Jan - not only visually but historically too (I read a short summary of its background by David Dorrington). Right, here's the next one. From which landmark would this photo have been taken? Cheers, Ken. (Ooops, in my rush, I forgot to straighten that horizon.) Welcome, dear visitor!

Guest suilvenman Posted June 9, 2010 Share #4489 Posted June 9, 2010 That's it, Jan. Well done. In the distance you can see the traditional mining areas around Lens which include Courrières where 1100 miners died in a disaster in 1906. The Vimy Ridge Memorial commemorates over 11,000 Canadians who were to die less than ten years later. Over to you, Jan. Ken. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubice Posted June 9, 2010 Share #4490 Posted June 9, 2010 Thanks, Ken. Yes, this indeed is a special place for Canadians. I am slowly running out of suitable digital material and may have to start scanning photos from my pre-digital era.... For the next challenge, I will need to know where we are and the name of this oddity. Good luck, Jan Welcome, dear visitor!

doubice Posted June 10, 2010 Share #4495 Posted June 10, 2010 Bingo! At least it was sunny when you visited. This was my second visit to Carcross, this time while on an Alaska cruise. First time was about 20 years ago, when I spent a week hiking from Skagway across the Chilkoot Pass into the Yukon Territory. Lot more comfortable this time...... Over to you, Peter.

psquared Posted June 10, 2010 Share #4496 Posted June 10, 2010 I took the picture on my Alaskan cruise as well. A few minutes of sun then overcast again. Here's the next one. What is the name of the church and in what city is it located? Welcome, dear visitor!
