I think I know this one. Is that the side of the building. ![]() In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face. Diogenes Of Sinope |

Government Building? ![]() |

Government Building? It used to be a government building. While it is still owned by a government, it currently is not what most people would consider a government building. ![]() ![]() BOINC WIKI |

A minor hint: The government for which it was a functioning building has not been in force in the area since 1848. The building is on the short list of places you must see when you visit the town/city. ![]() ![]() BOINC WIKI |

Fort Worth was in Texas the last time I looked at a map. The building is not in Texas as it is West of Texas. ![]() ![]() BOINC WIKI |

Another hint (obtuse of course). During WWII, entire convoys of trucks were delivered to PO box 1663 in the town/city. ![]() ![]() BOINC WIKI |

Another hint (obtuse of course). Very droll, John. PO Box 1663 throws us off scent to Los Alamos. But the url of your picture tells us that it's actually the Palace of the Govenors in Santa Fe. |

Another hint (obtuse of course). Very good, you got it. Post Office Box 1663 was in Santa Fe, but it was the delivery address for Los Alamos. ![]() ![]() BOINC WIKI |

Another hint (obtuse of course). Thanks, John. Everybody, take care if you visited that link for the Palace of the Govenors before I deleted it. Some pages on the site seem to have been hacked with a fake virus warning. |

So, here we go again. And to avoid John's mistake with the url, here's another of my collection of prints, freshly scanned tonight. ![]() This has a one-word answer. The mountain in the background is synonymous with the name of the city it dominates. |

South America someplace? I delayed last time to give America a chance. So this time, no clues until Europe wakes up. Anyway, I'm going to bed now ;-) |

Reprise of the rules. If we are going to have rules, I think they should be followed. Just sayin' ![]() |

Gary, I think all Richard meant by this is that it was to late to answer further questions. John will have his answer on Richard's morning. Pluto will always be a planet to me. ![]() Seti Ambassador Not to late to order an Anni Shirt |

Gary, I think all Richard meant by this is that it was to late to answer further questions. John will have his answer on Richard's morning. Good morning everyone. I guess Gary was actually drawing the attention of a n00b in this thread to the way I answered John's previous challenge, highlighting the rule against XCIF data. (Actually, shouldn't that be EXIF data?) I assumed it meant the GPS geotagging or similar data from a digital camera. I was just having a bit of fun at John's expense (sorry, John) by pointing out his challenge could be solved by use of no more sophisticated technology than the 'quote' button: http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h206/John_McLeod_VII/palace-of-the-governors-santa-fe-nmsfport.jpg And after that, his question deserves an answer: Yes. |
