etibeti Posted August 11, 2010 Share #4961 Posted August 11, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) I would say that this is New York State and the river is the Hudson. The architecture seems to me to be uniquely American. That´s absolutely right so far! Can you also name the house? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 Hi etibeti, Take a look here "Do you know the world ?" -- Competition --. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Michael Hiles Posted August 11, 2010 Share #4962 Posted August 11, 2010 That´s absolutely right so far! Can you also name the house? A little research suggests Mills Mansion... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hiles Posted August 12, 2010 Share #4964 Posted August 12, 2010 Yes Michael, 100 Points! Over to you! Well, I`m more surprised than anyone. I`ll post something elusive tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olsen Posted August 12, 2010 Share #4965 Posted August 12, 2010 I have to laugh! The Mills Mansion by the Hudson River! Ha, ha! It looked so damned European. The only thing that struck me as 'American' was these info placards for the tourists. I should have known. As a Beafeater at the Tower of London once said to a large crowd of Americans: 'Ah, you poor Americans - you don't have a history of your own! Do you know what this gate once was called?' Pointing at the Treators Gate, facing the River Thames: '- Watergate!' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted August 12, 2010 Share #4966 Posted August 12, 2010 (edited) I could pretend to know it and recuse myself, but I don't know it. Before reading "river" I thought a north shore of Long Island estate, in the area of the Vanderbilt's. Edited August 12, 2010 by stuny Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hiles Posted August 12, 2010 Share #4968 Posted August 12, 2010 OK folks, this place has strong literary connections. Not a prize-winning picture, but it is not ambiguous. Bonus points for the specific name. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

vertekijker Posted August 12, 2010 Share #4969 Posted August 12, 2010 Scotland or Ireland maybe? ----------- Frans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hiles Posted August 12, 2010 Share #4970 Posted August 12, 2010 Very astute Frans. Ireland it is. In fact, the Republic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted August 13, 2010 Share #4971 Posted August 13, 2010 I suspect Joyce might be involved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gearoido Posted August 13, 2010 Share #4973 Posted August 13, 2010 Would it be "The Forty Foot" Sandycove, Ireland Is mise le meas (since this is about Ireland) GaryO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hiles Posted August 13, 2010 Share #4974 Posted August 13, 2010 Would it be "The Forty Foot" Sandycove, Ireland Is mise le meas (since this is about Ireland) GaryO It would be and is! I'm impressed. This is on the south end of Dublin Bay. James Joyce very briefly lived just behind the picture in a Martello tower, and this place figures early on in Ullyses. It also shows up in At Swim-Two-Birds by Flann O'Brien (fine writer, who wrote a captivating column in the Irish Times under the pseudonym of Myles na gCopaleen. The columns are published and are terrific reading). So GaryO, you're up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearoido Posted August 13, 2010 Share #4975 Posted August 13, 2010 Thank you MIchael. We have friends in Dalkey that we visit whenever we go to Dublin. I think I have actually seen the sight from the DART on the way to Dun Dun Laoghaire. The picture is an example of Global Warming. Welcome, dear visitor!

gearoido Posted August 13, 2010 Share #4978 Posted August 13, 2010 Stuart, It is not a passage at all, but you do have the correct part of the world (in a large sense anyway). GaryO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
