Picture Fun Quest!

[SYates]

The rules are simple:

A Camino photo is posted.
The one who knows/posts where the photo was taken, post the next photo (or issues a wild card).
And so on.

If people have problems to solve the picture puzzle, hints may be given regarding Camino/time of year/etc.

Wanna play? I start! Where were these kids having a lot of fun on a Saturday evening? SY

 

[Michael Caleigh]

If it is the Frances then I will have to pass.

 

[Smallest_Sparrow]

I think there is writing on the roof...
this is clearly not in the US, as none of the children are wearing helmets
if no one guesses right in 24 hours will we get a clue?

 

[SYates]

Sorry, yes, it is on the Francés ;-) Oops - gave a hint away ;-) SY

 

[SYates]

No writing on walls or roofs ;-)
Not in the US (I skip emphatically the potential security/helmet/suing debate).
You got a cue (see post above far earlier, just to get the kid, oops ball, rolling but for further postings, yes, 24h seems like a good cut-off/clue point).

Is it Ventas de Naron on the CF?

 

[SYates]

Is it Ventas de Naron on the CF?

Correct Camino - wrong location - Sorry ;-) BC SY

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

The building style looks as if it would be at home in O'Ceibrero but I can't match things up with this satellite photo:

somehow this feels like cheating...I wish I'd thought of it.
full disclosure...I did try reverse image google search

Use whatever tool is available to you - it is all fun and not a serious thread at all. BC SY

 

[Smallest_Sparrow]

hmmm, where did she post the albergues she used on the Frances....
be right back, got to spend a few minutes on Google Earth

 

[Smallest_Sparrow]

cruz de ferro?

 

[SYates]

Have fun! Additional clue - it was taken in a place/town that is a classical Brierley stage ;-) SY

 

[SYates]

cruz de ferro?

ABSOLUTELY NOT! SY

 

[SYates]

OK - Just to keep the momentum going:

The photo was taken on the Camino Frances.
The photo was taken in a town that is a typical 'Brierley Stage' and
Added bonus tip - The photo was taken very close to a location that featured in the movie "The Way".

BC SY

 

[Michael Caleigh]

Hornillos del Camino?

 

[SYates]

Hornillos del Camino?

Too far, much closer to the beginning of the CF. BC SY

 

[Michael Caleigh]

San Juan de Ortega?

 

[SYates]

San Juan de Ortega?

Nops, still closer to the beginning of the CF ;-) BC SY

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

somehow this feels like cheating...I wish I'd thought of it.

I tried a better cheat first but it didn't pan out. Maybe it will work with one of the other photos.

 

[SYates]

Looking at your forum profile info you have certainly passed through that city (next hint - city - a town that has a cathedral ;-) BC SY

 

[Michael Caleigh]

Santo Domino de la Calzada????....I am lost now

 

[SYates]

Santo Domino de la Calzada????....I am lost now

You are getting all closer ;-) Big town, has a cathedral, close to the beginning of the CF, featured, pretty anonymously, in the movie The Way ... BC SY

 

[Smallest_Sparrow]

Pamplona? (OK guys, the trick is to bracket it and work inward

 

[Pingüigrino]

I Think its near El Caballo Blanco Pamplona.

 

[Smallest_Sparrow]

anonymously? where did Tom get arrested? argghh, OK, I have to go....someone guess this!

[SYates]

Pamplona? (OK guys, the trick is to bracket it and work inward

Pamplona is RIGHT! but @Pingüigrino found the exact location ;-)

I Think its near El Caballo Blanco Pamplona.

It is indeed the view you have from the Mirador/Meson Caballo Blanco towards the town walls of Pamplona. The place where Joost and Tom had the pintxos/tapas discussion in the movie The Way. You are next to post a Picture Quest photo @Pingüigrino !

 

[Pingüigrino]

Sorry, but I don´t know how to post any pic.
But you will be rewarded with a big hurray if know were my avatar´s pic have been taken. Dificuolt but...


OK it is the Camino de Baztan near Amaiur

 

[SYates]

Sorry, but I don´t know how to post any pic.

dang....maybe pick something visible outdoors on the Frances....
that's too difficult

 

[Smallest_Sparrow]

ABSOLUTELY NOT! SY

in my defense...
OK, somebody post a picture of a cow skull... @Michael Caleigh and I will be ready

 

[Smallest_Sparrow]

OK, we can do this...he's only listed 8 or 9 different Caminos, and, well, most of them are not common, but think....

 

[Pingüigrino]

OK. here it comes. A easier one.

It was taken outside de Church of........
The trick is to recognice this image of the crucifixion whithout cross...

Tosantos?

 

[Pingüigrino]

Tosantos?

Yep. The first one is the chapel of Tosantos´s albergue.

 

[Smallest_Sparrow]

Puente de Reina?

fine. stomping off to go find a really hard picture just in case I ever guess one of these...

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

Say, does anyone know where this picture was taken from?

 

[Saint Mike II]

Rick I think this is the same location as SY's opening shot. Where you come up the stairs into Pamplona from the North-East. Cheers

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

Yes. And some apologies are in order. While it didn't take too long to find a matching Google Street View picture it did take too long to do all the stuff needed before sending it. Then when I did send it I missed seeing all the rest of the posts that were sent in the meantime. I was hoping that it would have appeared close after @SYates told us where her picture was from.

 

[Kiwi-family]

Gotta disagree - as soon as I saw the picture I knew exactly where it was and thought I might get to have a turn;-) Too slow rather than too hard for me.

suuuuure......
I used to tell my high school football coach that when I missed a block. No empathy from him either.

 

[Kiwi-family]

Mark Lee - so sorry! Feel your pain. Maybe you should take a hike to Tosantos and you'll be all ready to play;-)
Or here, try this one.....it's outside AND on the Frances (first day of our first camino)

The only thing I`ll say about this pic is ..."I love chocolate"

@Pingüigrino knows. He gets to post another pic I think.

Ha! I got it. Going only from memory (and forget the chocolate) I had it right even before I looked at your link, @Rick of Rick and Peg.

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

Never mind my previous post. I'm going to cut in line and post a pic of my own.
Clues:
Visible while walking the Camino Frances (but you may have to look to the right and back).
In a place with a sizable population.
Near a popular spot to sightsee.
Visible with Google Street View.
The text says: Nobody pass here without salulting Mary and saying with love "Do not leave me my mother."

Villacazar de Sirga comes to my mind ... Buen Camino, SY

I just love that photo Rachael - wish there was some way of posting it as a "sticky" for all threads about taking children on the Camino. And particularly for those (like me) whose initial reaction was that it would all be too difficult.

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

Villacazar de Sirga comes to my mind

Much too small of a place but it does have an interesting church. BTW, that was the location of a recently posted picture with a title like "Peg is sick. What should I do?"

I recognized it right away! Easy!!

 

[Smallest_Sparrow]

it looks like there's still snow on the roof, and graffiti of course in the background...
so it would be the first part of your walk, maybe somewhere in the Navarra?

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

Nice thinking but it just looks like snow so you can't tell if it is early or late in our camino. Lots of graffiti around. The population of the place is greater than 2,000.

still looks like snow...probably because I want to play also...
I may start a game for all caminos not the frances

 

[Smallest_Sparrow]

while we wait for someone to guess the current difficult one(s)--still don't know @Pingüigrino's second picture, nor Rick's first--i'm putting up an easy one
even though it is not on the VdlP, I will translate the Latin "traveler look at the hour, and continue on your way"

Boadilla del Camino?

No idea about @Smallest_Sparrow 's image.

@Pingüigrino 's image looks like Puente la Reina - Iglesia del Crucifio? But somebody else already meantioned Puente la Reina.

@Kiwi-family 's image is taken in Astorga, strong hint in their post ;-)

OK, putting on my hat as an 'over-organizing' German this thread would work a wee bit better if we would take it like the Camino - One step/picture at a time. Buen Camino, SY

Do I get to post a picture for my Astorga answer??

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

i'm putting up an easy one

As easy as mine. I found a webpage with it. I didn't bother to check if the location was mentioned as it would be mentioned on other pages anyway. Here is a link to the image, not the webpage. I did not cheat by using an image match either.
https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jysuKQ0j...Gmk/bR7VV6Ysrsc/s1600/2013-10-10+10.42.21.jpg

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

Boadilla del Camino?

No. 2004 population was 166. You need a place with at least 2,000.

 

[trecile]

I'll go ahead. Here's mine. This was such a cool sight to see at sunrise, on the CF

 

[SYates]

Do I get to post a picture for my Astorga answer??

Ok, as the thread starter, a bossy German female and just because I feel like it - I make a completely random decision that will, most likely, not please anyone ;-)

@trecile You have the task to post the next 'quest picture' for us to solve (where/what?) !

Let's try, for simpleness, to stick to these rules? Ok? Pretty please? SY

The rules are simple:

A Camino photo is posted.
The one who knows/posts where the photo was taken, post the next photo (or issues a wild card).
And so on.

If people have problems to solve the picture puzzle, hints may be given regarding Camino/time of year/etc.

I would say we need to solve Pinguigrino's then that person gets to solve

 

[Smallest_Sparrow]

I would say we need to solve Pinguigrino's then that person gets to solve

ok or treciles....I don't care, I just didn't like all these pictures people were ignoring...and I'd still like to know where they were

 

[SYates]

Again, being bossy, @trecile's pic is now the only one up for solving. SY

PS I really like being bossy ... ok ... go ahead, just guess the others also ...

@Smallest_Sparrow
Tineo, Asturias.

 

[wayfarer]

San Anton

 

[trecile]

San Anton

You've got it wayfarer, it's the ruins of the Convent of San Anton, approximately 5km from Castrojeriz

 

[Smallest_Sparrow]

@Smallest_Sparrow
Tineo, Asturias.

right, but we are guessing Trecile's picture...sorry for the confusion.
@Rick of Rick and Peg...see, I told you mine was easy...I just wanted more people playing

 

[Smallest_Sparrow]

so to recap for those lost,
Wayfarer has the ball, having correctly named Trecile's photo

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

I'll go ahead. Here's mine.

Looks good during the day too.

 

[Canuck]

right, but we are guessing Trecile's picture...sorry for the confusion.
@Rick of Rick and Peg...see, I told you mine was easy...I just wanted more people playing

No problem. I prefered yours since Trecile's was too easy.

 

[SYates]

You've got it wayfarer, it's the ruins of the Convent of San Anton, approximately 5km from Castrojeriz

@wayfarer got it right, as confirmed by @trecile so @wayfarer posts the next picture quest picture - hopefully, SY

PS Feeling like watching a room full of super-excited puppies (their default stage of being) filled with yarn balls and me being the big mother cat sitting on top of the book shelf hissing. Lol SY

 

[SYates]

so to recap for those lost,
Wayfarer has the ball, having correctly named Trecile's photo

Thank you! SY

 

[Smallest_Sparrow]

So...while we wait for Wayfarer to find a good one...I'm off to go figure out a good one in case I win...

 

[SYates]

Yes, good idea, prepare some images to post for when it is your turn ;-) BC SY

 

[wayfarer]

This should be an easy one.

 

[Smallest_Sparrow]

Foncebadon!

 

[wayfarer]

Good on you. That was quick.

 

[SYates]

Your turn @Smallest_Sparrow ;-) SY

 

[Smallest_Sparrow]

one easy one deserves another...but come on guys, no image search

 

[Smallest_Sparrow]

clue: he stands on the ruins of a church that was abandoned after a falling out between local nobles and common men over seating...and ended up with the town excommunicated for a while

 

[Smallest_Sparrow]

Good on you. That was quick.

one of the best meals I've had...

 

[Pingüigrino]

Well, I´ll be a good boy. Since nobodys can identify the pic I posted, I think it´s my fault. But I tough it was easy.
The answer is : The church of Santiago Apostol in Carrion de los Condes. It is the moment of ending the procession of Cristo del Amparo. I thougth it was easy because this image is not crucified on a cross, but a "Y".
http://www.quedaisinforma2.com/?p=584

 

[SYates]

... I thougth it was easy because this image is not crucified on a cross, but a "Y". ...

And that is what confused us! The most/best known Y-shaped crucifix (for most of us) is the one in Puente la Reina ;-) Thanks for solving that mystery and expanding our iconographic horizons! SY

 

[Smallest_Sparrow]

I think it´s my fault

no, not your fault. It was a pretty picture, and we all learned from it!

@SYates, I must leave my computer for a while... if anyone who walked the Norte shows up to announce the location of this beautiful work by the brilliant Llimona, their answer is easily checked with google and I concede my turn in absentia.

 

[SYates]

PM me the correct answer and I take care of it in su absentia ;-) SY

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

one easy one deserves another...but come on guys, no image search

https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cementerio_de_Comillas
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_%C3%81ngel_Exterminador_%28Llimona%29
No image search done.

Now get back to mine. If you are clever it is easy.

 

[Pingüigrino]

Ok Rick . I dont want to say the place it is, but this town was a Templar place.

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

Ok Rick . I dont want to say the place it is, but this town was a Templar place.

Get another picture ready @Pingüigrino; you've got it. Let's have some others work on this. What is taking you so long @Smallest_Sparrow?

 

[Smallest_Sparrow]

hey for some of us this is still during business hours. yes, @Rick of Rick and Peg is correct, the Angel of Death in the beautiful town of Comillas. What templar town? I only know Ponferrada...

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

What templar town? I only know Ponferrada

But where in Ponferrada?

 

[Smallest_Sparrow]

Obviously @Pingüigrino knows, so the turn is his....I didn't go in the Castle crowds)...I don't remember it at the Roman spring, nor the old hospital, nor the turn off to the Invierno, or even that poor neglected Xth (?) century church at the top of the hill with the vineyards below...so I give up and wait for someone with a better eye

 

[Rick of Rick and Peg]

Obviously @Pingüigrino knows, so the turn is his

After @Pingüigrino posts his picture I'll tell everyone the location of my picture.
