Rare notamermaid Posted October 12, 2020 Author #77 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Love all your excitement people 🙂. I have a request: could we stick to guessing one photo, please? The idea is to keep this in one line/thread so the winner can hand over to the next person. Happy to leave the two added photos standing there as guessed of course. That would be lovely of you. Now waiting to hear the announcement from dogs4fun whether this is Dresden or not. notamermaid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The l is a Roman "one" and the word Rang denotes the seating in German language cinema, theatre or opera house. Exactly - Rang I denotes 1st balcony seating. I knew you would know this world class opera venue. 🙂 8 hours ago, franski said: Semper Opera House in Dresden... (Couldn't quote and post my answer...) Fran You've got it. I attended The Magic Flute at the Semperoper - absolutely phenomenal! Love Dresden! You're up, Fran. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you wait your turn please? The price of the game is to post your photo. Waiting for Franski to return. notamermaid P.S.: I cannot keep this up with the rules. If I cannot keep this up as a threaded game and things go all over the place I will open it up to everyone and quit the original idea.

QueenofEverything Posted October 12, 2020 #87 Share Posted October 12, 2020 If everyone would please read the game rules on the first post. That way we can play our fun game without it becoming chaos. Remember - When all else fails, read the instructions! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You took a very nice photo! Is it the Niederwald (commemorating German unification)? Rhine I am certain that notamermaid knows this one so have to get my guess in quickly!

dogs4fun Posted October 12, 2020 #93 Share Posted October 12, 2020 1 hour ago, notamermaid said: Yep, it is the chaos that I am a bit worried about... notamermaid I have an idea, how about posting the rules each time a person correctly identifies the photo and then posts their new photo? The rules could simply be posted above the new photo (with a simple copy/paste). Those that do not follow the rules can simply be ignored - no guessing the whereabouts of their unsolicited photo. Rules (borrowed from notamermaid): RULES: Name what is in the photo. First guess the river. After that name the town/city/place. The person one who first guesses correctly gets to post the next photo! Please, DO NOT POST any PHOTOS unless it is your turn. What do you think?

Furthermore, I would like to see if I can identify the "really difficult" stumper that you have ready for us (love a challenge). So, after we hear from Fran, it is all yours, notamermaid! We will await your photo. Edited October 12, 2020 by dogs4fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare franski Posted October 13, 2020 #95 Share Posted October 13, 2020 It is the Niederwald... Taken one beautiful September morning - after taking the cable car up through the vineyard. We then stopped and had coffee overlooking the river. A wonderful memory.... I see that dogs4fun has deferred to notamermaid... so - Tag! You're it!!

Rare notamermaid Posted October 13, 2020 Author #96 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Thanks, @franski. I remember seeing the Niederwalddenkmal on a family outing as a child. The statue looked huge then - it still does. And the view is truly great from up there. @dogs4fun, thanks for the help with the suggestion how to keep this idea running. And thanks for deferring. Photo coming up later in the (my time zone) afternoon. notamermaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please, DO NOT POST any PHOTOS unless it is your turn. ****************** Love this idea, and posting it just to make a comment while we wait for notamermaid. Love this game, as I have only been on one cruise, so am getting to see the sights of other rivers. Everyone has some great shots, and it's great to hear the history behind them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare notamermaid Posted October 13, 2020 Author #100 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Hello Daisi! Thank you, seems people like to stick to my original idea. Here goes, please name what is in my chosen photo. Remember when you have guessed correctly, you can choose a photo that is not necessarily from a river cruise, it could be a land trip, but it must be on a river or close to a river that we can sail on. Off you go, please name the river and the correct name of the landmark (English or German): notamermaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
