Guess the building! ... and travel around the world

[Forky]

Ok, as the old forum goes down slightly, i thought i post it up here and give it a try again.

Hey!

I thought of a game that might kick some when you're bored. I played this game on another forum and it developed quite well.

So the idea is:
- One starts with a picture of a "known" building (castle, church, highrise, stadium, monument, architectual awesomeness and such) or maybe geografical sight (like vulcano, mountains, lakes, waterfalls, ... if they are "known").

- Give a hint for the picture so it's easier to search or guess the building.

- If you think you got the building you post the name of the building and its location (maybe with a link where you found it, like wikipedia)

- The one, who solved the picture is up for the next one.


To post a picture one should upload a picture to picoodle, photobucket, imageshack and such. So you can give the picture different names and it won't be guessed cause the name of the picture is "eiffeltower.jpg"

Anyways, plz have in mind that we are all from different parts of the world, so we might not know your neighbours house or your local stadium. Though a hint can give much info.

Have fun and happy riddling.

Summary: Look at the picture, what is it, where is it, maybe google it with the hint or its appearance. If right guessed, decide for a new one, load it up to picoodle or photobucket, with a different name (you can google the real names from the internet quite fast), and post it with a hint.

And here we start with a building, a 240 metres high windmill... with some office space too =)




PS: If you have any suggestions about this game, say so.
