Expat, what city are you in?

1986......................

 

[Renee Attili]

Well I guess those are your hints Jeekinz. Let see 1986........
Does it have anything to do with the end of Aparthied?
The Rebirth of Freedom?

It's the monument for Chernobyl.

Expat, what city are you in?

Astana, Kazakhstana---coldest capital in the world!! I'm getting up in the mornings when y'all are having supper at night.

J----I'm still confused---is it a monument at a gravesite or is it on a grave?

Yo, expat. All you have to do is to Google "Chernobyl monument" and click on "images." Ta, da! It's there.

Thanks Jeekinz!!! Obviously was not going to help my odds in guessing what it was. Congrats jeninga!!!

I'm amazed at this monument... It makes sense now.

I did but that's not the monument that was shown---some sort of interconnecting rings were behind the people in the picture. I guess I should have continued to look at all the sites.

Yay, go me

Ok, next pic.

 

[expatgirl]

well, it looks part kangaroo and part mouse---how about kangaroo mouse?

 

[expatgirl]

how about a bandicoot? I looked up kangaroo mouse and don't really think it's that..........

 

[expatgirl]

I looked up bandicoot---how about a rabbit-eared bandicoot? I can't get my computer to download the site's pictures so I'm taking a wild guess here just based on the name. Cute little critter, by the way.

I don't know what is happening--I saw my posting of "rabbit-eared" bandicoot on DC and it's disappeared. I finally downloaded some pictures and it shows "bilby" as another name for the same animal. Hope that this makes it.

Boy, Jeninga, you remind me of my daughter. We had "sugar gliders" in our house for 3 years so when I looked up "kangaroo mouse or rat" and realized it wasn't that, a lightbulb went off and I thought---maybe, this is a marsupial and not a rodent instead and you know the rest. We also had a prairie dog as a resident thanks to her.

 

[expatgirl]

Will post a picture soon by tomorrow. Thanks for your patience.
