Whaddaya mean? I AM playing. I just haven't got a clue where this picture is. It's probably in grnbrgs back yard.

Me neither - I was hoping you’d put me out of my misery! I checked a couple of theories but they didn’t pan out. Grnbrg’s updated coordinates narrowed it down to most of Winnipeg

Heh heh. Well, one person claims to know where it is... :grin:

Maybe that will help.... It'll give you something to do for the weekend, anyway.

One of my co-workers thought this represented a prophesy:

“When the phone rings you'll drink the funny stuff, but peeing during lightening increases your chances of being killed".

I know exactly where it is, I just haven't got a digital camera! Who wants to be given a hint?

It's not difficult! You're geocachers and you haven't even discovered this area yet? Hah, I'm just teasing...

If I can get my hands on a camera, or if someone wants to come with me to take the picture for me, I'll show you where it is!

grnbrg · Senior Member

Well, I thought this was better known than it is...

N49.889 _ _°, W97.128 _ _°

That pretty much gives it way...

Very clever photo Mr. Brg!

I walked right by it twice. The information desk helped; I'd only described two elements from the picture and he new what I was talking about!

Pfff. Is that the best you can do?

The hard part will be deciding where to stand to get the angle right, as that's a pretty tight zoom.

TurdleEggs · Senior Member

Go get it! I figure there're two correct answers.

MHz · Veteran Member

I know where this is as well but just never seem to get down there any more. if I'm in the area and have my camera, I'll see if I can snag a pic. MHz

Although now that I get back and can compare pix, it might be 10m or so south... :)

Well the signal bounce was SIGNIFICANT, so I had to try to clean it up in Google. But Here is the best I can do:

I took this picture from the brick wall, but in looking at your picture on a larger screen, it seems you may have been standing on the sidewalk. You are SUCH a pedestrian!

Off you go people. Here is the next picture!

Ooooooo, tough talk from a guy who can't figure out which nearly identical corner to stand under.

But we'll call it 'close enough'.

Did I capture a ufo in my bridge pic? Does anyone have the ability to clear up that image?

/photoshop is fun

Can you share the co-ordinate with the rest of us?

TurdleEggs · Senior Member

Somewhere over Winnipeg?

grnbrg · Senior Member

Probably needed to be farther down on the bank, but....

49° 55.089', 97° 7.591'

Next one....

49° 5 _ . _ _ _', 97° 1 _ . _ _ _'

I figured a little foreground might help.... If you don't recognise it immediately, it'll help in tracking down the location...

Wagonmaker · Veteran Member

Bah! I was just there yesterday for another cache! Aside from the fact that I have no camera, that is extremely frustrating!

Anyone who wants a hint, I'm down.

Lizardo · Senior Member

Had to use my lousy camera again for this photo. Evidently that UFO is in all of my pictures.

Am I close this time?

Well, I had 47° 54.217', 97° 11.574', but better than last time...

I was going to ask, will night pictures suffice?

Lizardo · Senior Member

Night pics are fine. As long as you can make out what is in the picture.

Out taking pics at night, are we? I'm keeping my curtains closed.

I'll have the next pic up soon.

So sorry for the wait. I have had 2 camera crashes. I am not as happy with this one as the others, but I think it will at least pose a bit of a challenge.
