Category — Photo Tuesday

I’ll have the answer to Shannon’s photo from last week for you very soon. I just need to confirm the location.

Can you guess where this week’s photos was taken?

• It is in Florida, but where in Florida?
• A very famous author owns a home here
• It has “Key” in its name

We had a lot of guesses last week & Shari gave a great challenging photo.  Charity was the first to guess Emerald Bay.  Congrats Charity!  Drop Shari and email & she’ll get your 8×10 print to you.  Hopefully you all will find this week’s photo just as challenging.

I took this photo back in 1992.  My daughter, Victoria, was about seven months old.  In fact she cut her first tooth while visiting here.  So here are the clues:

1. It’s an island
2. A famous author was born here
3. They have snow in the winter

Good luck & have fun!  Who knows, there might be a give away this week too.

Well, I guess I got everyone two weeks ago, this house is on Pine Island, Florida. It’s a cool little place that’s very old Florida. I have a wedding at the Tarpon Lodge on Pine Island in three weeks, can’t wait!

Matt was correct with last week’s photo - it was Vero Beach. I love that church.

Here are this week’s clues:

1. As I already said, it snows a lot here.

2. It’s in California.

3. It’s on a bay that’s named after a gemstone.

This photo was taken by Sean Haughey, of Shari Bare Photography.

We haven’t had any winners for last weeks photo & honestly I don’t even know where it’s located.  Shari is still on vacation in Napa so I haven’t been able to get the scoop from her.  I’ll let you know as soon as I do.  Now onto this weeks photo:

1. Ivan Lendl, the former tennis pro, has a home here
2. A major archeological discovery was made here almost 100 years ago
3. An aircraft manufacturer calls this town home

Last week’s photo was in Luxemburg in a castle ruin outside of the city.

Here are this week’s hints:

• It’s in a southern state
• She’s the “doll lady”
• It’s on an island

Well Matt was the only one to guess correct last week but we love hearing from others, so keep submitting your comments below. 

Here are the clues to this week’s photo:

1. A descendent of Charlemagne established a city near here.
2. Sandstone cliffs provide beautiful views of the valleys.
3. You can enjoy a wonderful local glass of Pinot Gris or Pinot Blanc.

Shannon really stumped everyone last week. The location was San Giacomo di Rialto. Good one!

I’ll try to make this week’s a little easier.

• It’s in the USA
• It’s a well-known building
• It’s built to last

Well our loyal trivia fan, Matt, guessed it correct last week.  It was Aran Islands off the coast of Ireland.  Good job Matt!

Here is this week’s picture.  Good luck!  The clues are below:

1. This building was originally erected in the 5th century
2. It experienced a fire in the 15th century
3. The bells rang during the middle ages to signal a fire and tell the laborers to stop work

Matt Minton is once again the winner of last week’s travel photo. He correctly identified last week’s photo as Oakland Cemetery in Atlanta, Georgia. We’re going to have to get this guy a prize!

Here are this week’s clues:

• They are a group of Islands

• A visit to part of one of the islands can be scary for people with a fear of heights

• You might want to wear a sweater

Shari did a great job stumping everyone with last weeks photo.  It was Monaco!  I have to admit I thought it was the California coastline so even I was surprised by the location.

Here is this weeks travel photo.  Can you guess where in the world this was taken?  I’ve given you three clues under the picture.  If you think you know, leave your guess in the comments below.

1. Confederate Commander John B. Hood had headquarters here
2. Confederate and Union soldiers fought a major battle here
3. Seven operatives of Andrews Raiders were hung here
