Ok. Here it is. The second Geopic thread. Geopic Thread part deux.


Candaceandwill! I'm a-callin' you out! Post a pic of your favorite stumper of a landmark.


Remember to include partial coordinates.  For those checking this thread first, the "rules" can be found in the first post of the original thread.


Good luck!

I know where it is, I just don't have to time to get "out there"...

(Disclaimer: The Geopic may very well be "in here" and not "out there". The term was used at the author's discretion and no clue as to whereabouts should be derived from the wording.)

I know exactly where this one is.  Sadly, I haven't had time to run and get it.  If it's still around tomorrow, I think I'll be driving past.


Although the muggle count may be rather high...

Interestly enough, the muggle count in the vicinity will be quite low today only!

I am here to put candaceandwill out of their misery.  Sorry it took so long.



The coords I got were 49 52.690 097 13.272.


I snapped this at 3:15 in the afternoon.  I was certain I was going to be trampled at any second by the escaping schoolkids.  Luckily I was able to make my escape before the bell went!

Here is the next pic.  It is a self portrait.



 


49 5_._ _ _


097 1_._ _ _


 


That's all you get for coordinates.  My hints will be related to where to find this mural via the web.  Unless that proves fruitless.  I love a good experiment.


 


Hint: If you are looking on the "Murals" website, it is not on the primary landscape of the mural.  It is around the back.  But it is viewable on the site.

I have nothing derogatory (is that spelled right?) to say to the Lizard...this time!  This is simply a post so I can get notified when there are new posts here!


And GO GET IT GINNY!  DON'T LET THE 211 GINNY'S GET THERE FIRST!

Methinks Lizardo has an inflated sense of his actual attractiveness. The posted lizard is much better looking than him so it couldn't possibly be a self-portrait.

I love the sign on the building


"Parking is for @@@ @@@@@@@ Customers only.  All others will be stripped and sold for parts ... and their cars too!"


But what if I *want* to be stripped and sold for parts?

My turn! Here's my pic:

OK, I doesn't matter to me if this picture is taken day or night, but I need to see the turn signal ... and there's a trick to it

Coords: N49 5_.___  W097 0_.___


I've heard that this traffic signal is the only one in existence

Actually, I think there is a u-turn signal like that in Rochester, NY as well.  When I first saw that photo, I thought "oh, I know where that is", but then remembered it was the wrong city!

There is only one in Winnipeg for sure and I believe in North America. Now just to find the time to go and take the picture.....

The corner of Mcphillips and Kingsbury N49.57.034  W097.08.997 This was tougher than I thought. It seems that the turning light blinks for 3 seconds to make the u-turn. That means it is on for 1 1/2 secs and off for 1 1/2 secs. I took eight pics before I got one with the light on.

Tricky isn't it?  I took many photos AND a video recording.  Only 1 was decent enough to post.


Good job! OK, your turn!
