Where In The World?

I also associate it more with the Carribbean or south or middle American, rather than spanish. But I can't say exactly why, and of course the sunlight can sometimes make the water look any shade of blue in southern Europe too. Maybe it's also the rock. Frankly I don't have a clue (give us another one! )

 

No - it's further west.....

 

I found it with a search for "hindu temple in the US". It was reasonable to guess west coast on this, but it's east coast. Built in the 70's.

 

now if these pictures had trains in them, i might stand a better chance.

 

I don't think it is the train that gives the location away

 

^is that the jacobite steam train in Scotland? Also known as the train used in Harry Potter as the Hogwarts Express

 

well rtv nord.nl is kind of a big fat hint.
although i'm not familiar with that particular color scheme nor logo.
Connexxion/LINT/Syntus 45. couldn't tell you the EXACT location though.
(yes i did have to look it up on railfaneurope.net, i could probably pin it down further from a route map of that line and then google satalite imagery)
(also i'm guessing this is the line that runs closest to where one of the mods, is it orison? or you? lives.
i forget but i remember finding his house, from something he said, i forget what, on google satilite. and i do remember seeing this kind of equipment on the tracks near there.)

 

noop. that was standard gauge and these are narrow gauge. although i haven't seen all the harry potter movies.
one of the preserved lines, most likely somewhere in great britain though, that much is rather obvious, although there are some preserved lines that look similar on the continent too.
i'm pretty sure i've seen both of those locos specifically, just not absolutely sure immediately without checking references exactly where.
my first wild guess would be tallylin, rather then ffestiniog or welsh highland, but i do have to go take a look, because i'm almost postive that's not right either.
for one thing, there are a lot of other preserved lines where this might be.

mountaineer and sgt murphy, on the ffestiniog are of a quite similar type.
but i'm sure its somewhere else that i've seen these. i'll keep looking til i find it.

(for what its worth, i thought the hogwarts train was on the blue bell line. but i'm probably mistaken about that too)
(yup, i was. the jacobite was the fort william line of L.N.E.R.)

now to pin down where those two narrow gauge lovelies actually are...
Vale of Rheidol, that's what i was thinking and still am.
i'm thinking welshpool and llanfair for the red one now. the cab front on the other one is red too. i think that pretty much eliminates rheidol.

 

The dyke gives the country away too.

 

it does that.

 

Spot on! You are obviously a man who knows his narrow gauge railways.

 

well i knew it had to be one of them. i couldn't really be sure, because several of the preserved lines have very similar looking locos. i've always been an entusiast of narrow gauge railways because i've always consider the form factor "just right" for the kind of world i actually think more people, and i know myself, would much more enjoy living in. of course i know most people probably never occur to them to think in such terms.

 

Where I live there are 2 narrow gauge railways quite close by - Vale of Rheidol, and the Welshpool and Llanfair. My uncle used to be an enthusiast and for a hobby worked on the Severn Valley railway locos at one time.

 

Havasupai Falls is close enough. Its beaver falls also on the Supai reservation AZ.

 

never been there. frank lloyd wright's falling water. i have no idea where it actually is, or who he did the commission for. it wasn't HIS house, he designed FOR somebody. at least i think that's the case. some rich bastard obvously. probably the ceo of johnson's wax or something like that.

 

Obviously not Dogville.

 

Very Good, You're right, you get an A

along those same lines who designed this famous house ....................
