vertekijker Posted October 16, 2013 Share #12782 Posted October 16, 2013 Hi Martin, maybe Michael isn't aware that he is still on... Cheers ----------- Frans Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albireo_double Posted October 16, 2013 Share #12783 Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) Seems like it. Hello Michael, are you there? We are in Budapest actually, quite in the city centre and I am only waiting to hear what this building is.... And no, it is not a mosque, although it looks like one. It was built in 1912 (by a guy called Kornél Neuschloss-Knüsli) and it has a somewhat surprising use. Want to give it another try? Or perhaps somebody else, if Michael is off-line?

Michael Geschlecht Posted October 17, 2013 Share #12784 Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) Hello Everyone, Thank you for your considerate replys. I just guess close in this & the other Thread "From Above" & I never actually give the answer. I am self taught with computers & haven't figured out how to put a picture on the screen when I win. Many helpful Forum members have tried to help & have offered suggestions along with references to guides within the Forum. All with no sucess. Originally: In the past I used to actually win & then would pass my turn on to someone else. This was too cumbersome & it sometimes took too long to find another person to put another picture on the Thread. I therefore decided to only guess nearby, but not too close, in order to help someone else figure out the location. I only guess from what I know personally with a relatively simple Atlas to help. I don't use Gooogle or the big Wiki in the sky. Could this be East of some parts of Buda? Best Regards, Michael Edited October 17, 2013 by Michael Geschlecht Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albireo_double Posted October 17, 2013 Share #12785 Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) Hello Michael, I will hand this one over to you, in appreciation of the efforts you put in figuring this out and in recognition that it was not a completely straightforward task (and not easy to figure out using Google). The building is the elephant house of the Budapest ZOO, built in 1912 in the then fashionable art nouveau style. There are several other structures in the zoo that were built in this style (including the entrance gate). A good zoo to visit, and one of the three oldest in Europe, I believe. More info here: http://www.onlyinguides.com/uploads/bibliothek_docs/downloads/malev_elephant.pdf Over to you and thanks for your efforts.

vertekijker Posted October 19, 2013 Share #12791 Posted October 19, 2013 Beacon Hill is right Andreas. It is over to you.
