Rare Kristelle Posted March 1 #13452 Share Posted March 1 But if you post a photo that you have taken yourself, people can't google image it, can they? All the photos I have posted have been my own photos. Anyway I really like this game even though my guesses are sometimes way off the mark. The photos can be beautiful or ugly - nothing wrong with the photo posted. But, yes, please give hints or answers that help us if people have tried but not got there. And let's keep game going in fun spirit it was intended. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qbay46 Posted March 1 #13454 Share Posted March 1 so here is the clue for the bloke that wants to know where it is and can't work it out for him self Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Kristelle Posted March 1 #13455 Share Posted March 1 I don't think there is any rule for or against doing so - I just meant if the photos are people's own ones, I dont see how Google image would help anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the photos I have posted have been my own photos. You can google image anything and often you will find a similar photo to the one you have taken. I use it for finding where I took a photo if I have forgotten (older images without GPS) or I also get a lot of postcards and some of those don't have where the pic is taken so I google image those and usually I find out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the photos I have posted have been my own photos. You can still use a search engine on computers (and perhaps some devices) to find similar images of a personal photo, it may not be exact but it may give a big clue. I don't always have access to all the photos I have taken personally, so I may not have posted a photo taken personally but I have usually been there and taken similar photos.

If you had responded to Yaya-in-Oz's post immediately after responding to to Mic's five guesses it would have been fair enough but the gap between those posts meant your response to Mic's post's was meaningless and unhelpful. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have moved on with this subject, it is not the first time it has come up from the person who stared it, how about you moving on and just let the the next poster get on with there next pic and let the game continue.

I could of course post a picture of some barn or train and post "it's somewhere in this great country of mine" it's really not much of a clue. Just like grouping 5 questions together and saying "it's in one of those". I seem to recall the last time I posted such a post out of frustration the game faded away for some time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackduck59 Posted March 1 #13468 Share Posted March 1 @Kristelle in the spirit of narrowing it down in the world. Are you in North America? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare lyndarra Posted March 1 #13469 Share Posted March 1 My first thought was possibly New Zealand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruiser3775 Posted March 2 #13473 Share Posted March 2 I am alternatively intrigued and annoyed by this exercise. Can I suggest a couple of rules? 1. Photos must be taken by the entrant 2. Photos must be interesting/scenic, not boring photos of rubbish bins, sheds and rail lines etc 3. One location guess per post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare lyndarra Posted March 2 #13474 Share Posted March 2 1. Is a given, after all the thread is "Where was I". 2. Yes. Scenic or interesting. 3. That's a given as you can only be in one place at a time. Although, I have occasionally posted additional pics in the near vicinity as hints.
