No Mike, not in Europe. This is a US location so I guess this isn't really fair to you guys from across the pond although some may have visited including one Englishman during the action.

Hint, the trees on the far ridge are about 1 mile away. Approximately 12,500 men tried to cross this space while 150 cannons and thousands of rifles fired on them from that ridge. Only a handful made it, 6000 never returned to the starting point.

Gettysburg?

Yes, but what are famous (at least un US history)area we looking at?

Not sure what your looking for.

Cemetery Hill?

Close. Further to the west and slightly south. A famous,(or infamous) event happened here. The name of the event will do.

One event in Gettysburg could have been an address by Abe Lincoln

No Fred, not that, this was battle related. It was the turning point that ended the three day battle and a rare tactical blunder ordered by Lee.

Pickett's charge?

Culp's Hill?

Bingo! We have a winner.

Yes, this is the actual fields that these men were ordered to cross. The first photo was from the starting point. Their objective was the trees on the ridge. The attack was hampered by fences and gullies. Whether their cause was just or not, one cannot doubt the courage it took for those men to make this charge knowing full well they had little chance to make it and a great chance to die violently, as many did.

If I win again I promise to try and find photos more worldly so all have a chance.

Sorry, who got it right?

You did.

OK, xrayman, if you have a picture, go ahead. I don't think Fran really specified what he was going for.

Thanks Carol! Name that bridge!

Don't worry about that Fran. I'm taking part in this in the hope of discovering new places. I've already learnt of Cinque Terre in Italy that I never knew about despite having been very close to it in the past.

Rialto

That makes two of us Mike. I have found this game to be very educational and fun. Oh, and yes, Carol was the winner.

There certainly have been a bunch of really interesting pictures posted! The only problem at this point is that most of us, like me, have basically run out of pictures. Perhaps we need to think about a new series. Something like, here's my favorite place in the world and here's why? Thoughts?

Ellen is correct with Rialto!

So to be fair I see that bridge every day. At work we put up travel cams from all over the world since we are not going anywhere. That bridge is one of them.

So location on this one.

As everyone has said running out of pictures someone will know this one quickly.

I’m open to whatever the game morphs into!

Looks John Lennon related and I'll guess NYC?

Liverpool

Fred is correct with John Lennon and NYC. Anyone get any closer than NYC?

Ellen, you mean like the Dakota where he lived?

No I was wondering if anyone knew where the memorial was?

And it is not in front of the Dakota.

I am getting on a flight so declaring Fred the winner.

Imagine circle is in Central Park in an area they call Strawberry Fields.

Fred you are up!

Ellen, have a nice trip and I don't envy anyone travelling now. As far as this game goes, I really enjoy it and don't know we could have something similar without pictures. I'll keep scrounging along for pics as long as I can, but TomB will be back soon and he probably can post for a long time and just let us guess.
Anyway, here goes one I dredged up.

Pure guess... Cape Cod.

I've got loads more photos now I'm back in the UK with my archive to hand. Most will be hard to identify but I'm happy to keep posting while people are interested.

Mike, not Cape Cod but right country. I'm sure you have lots of photos so when some of us are out, you and Tom can keep this going. It's a fun way to "travel" in these times.

North Carolina?

Adrian, not NC

The place in my first picture is within 45 miles from the bridge in this picture. Hopefully, this will get everyone in the right vicinity.

OK, looks to be the Golden Gate Bridge??

Yes, that's the GG Bridge so now we know the correct coast of the US. Now where is picture 1?

This place is now the site of a hostel by the same name - a name that includes the name of a bird as the first word.

Pigeon Point

Adrian, you got it and that means you are up.

Where in the world?

Looks Mediterranean to me?
