    Following something that I put on another thread, I thought I would start this game.

    All you have to do is guess in which country/part of a country/town/building etc the picture is taken - depending on the type of picture.

    I suggest that we try to get the answer by guessing and the person who posts the picture starts off by saying yes or no and gradually gives clues if people aren't getting it.

    Although it would be good not to have too many on the go at one time we should also number each picture in case there is more than one. Then each answer can state which number they are referring to. :thumbsup:

    I think that we shouldn't have more than three at one time.

    I was also thinking Peru or Bolivia. In particular the mountain range whose name I can not remember for some reason, but the range I was thinking of is where you might find Machu Pichu and hoquequiao.

    But we could both be wrong:)

    EDIT: Remembered (with the help of google) the name of the mountain range I was trying to think of. The Andes of course.

    I don't mind how many guesses are made :thumbsup: as long as they are clear enough (but I reserve the right to be obscure in my answers, e.g. if you say, 'Is it Australia or New Zealand?' I might answer 'Yes and No, but not necessarily in that order!' :loll:) - but everyone's ideas on rules for this game would be appreciated :dbgrtmb:

    No. 1 - wrong
    No. 2 - Is the Guildhall :yess:
    That declaration is on the wall outside the room where the Freedom Of The City is awarded.

    No. 3

    Where are these gardens? Photos taken at different times of the year in the same gardens. Answers for this question will only be yes or no! I'll post another picture (more panoramic) if it seems too difficult.
