Guess This Photo - April 2018

[Eleanor]

I've been doing a google image search for a hilltop statue of Christ and eventually have come up with San Sebastian in Spain. I think the building at the bottom right is the City Hall.

 

[JustTravel]

Correct, Eleanor. We took a day trip to San Sebastian back in May 2004 when we were staying in St-Jean-de-Luz for a few days. Don't really know much about San Sebastian.

Back to you.

 

[Eleanor]

Not the traditional view, but should still be recognisable....

 

[Ann]

Chenonceau?

 

[Eleanor]

Well done Ann - over to you next.

 

[Ann]

Okay, here's the next -- sorry for the delay, we're enjoying blue skies and temps in the low 70s in Venice:

 

[Eleanor]

No-one is coming in here, so I've been doing a google image search and think it must be the Randonne Tower in Nyons. It looks such a beautiful and delicate structure.

 

[chachalaca]

ooh! I think you're right Eleanor!

 

[Ann]

Yes, Eleanor is right -- the market in Nyons is terrific.

Eleanor asked if I'd like to post the next one, so here goes! Switching things up a bit...

 

[Tim W]

Not a clue where it is. Pure guess on my part - something designed by Frank Lloyd Wright?
Looks like desert - So US South West?

 

[Colo]

Tim I think you are correct on both of your guesses

 

[Eleanor]

Knowing nothing about Frank Lloyd Wright and following on from both Tim and Colo, I've been doing a google search and have come up with Taliesin West which Wiki describes as "the winter home and school in the desert from 1937 until his death in 1959 at the age of 91. Today it is the main campus of the School of Architecture at Taliesin and houses the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation."

I was intrigued by the name Taliesin which was a C6th Welsh bard and also the name of a locomotive on the narrow gauge railway Ffestiniog Railway in North Wales.

 

[chachalaca]

That’s correct! It is, indeed, Taliesin West in Arizona. Over to you!

 

[Eleanor]

Would either Tim W or Colo like to start a new picture thread for May rather than me? I'd never have got that far if Tim hadn't identified the architect and area and this was confirmed by Colo.

I was about to join guessing and you guys closing the thread
