Guess what this is a photo of!

It is against the law in the nation of origin to climb this, and there was a 1962 stamp that showed it.

 

[Barbara L]

Whew! The stamp did it for me. So, the reference to not being called a camel had to do with the fact that the camel is the ship of the desert? Anyway....

The answer is Shiprock Peak (Tsé Bit'Ai) in the Four-Corners area of New Mexico.

You hurt my brain!

[phinz]

You are correct. Shiprock is a volcanic neck, much like Devil's Tower, in New Mexico. It is sacred to the Navajo, hence it is now illegal to climb it. It is an amazing sight to see.

I love the various landforms throughout the southwest, especially in New Mexico.
Okay, what and where is this?

 

[phinz]

Is that Wave Rock in Hyden, Australia?

 

[Barbara L]

Darn your photographic memory or super-human powers, or whatever it is you possess! Yes, of course you got it right! I think Wave Rock is really pretty. I found a prettier picture but it had writing across it.

What is this a picture of?

 

[Barbara L]

It is a giant golf ball on a fancy tee on the planet Zorg.

Hmmm, this one looks interesting. The thing in the background almost looks like a prison, but I'm probably wrong. Something to do with an airport also comes to mind. Ok, I'm off to happily wrack my brains and tax my computer's poor little brain to death now!

Looks like the Trylon and Perisphere at the 1939-1940 World's Fair in New York.

Taking a thumbnail look; could the large object in the center be a dial of some sort (like a sundial) but may have something to with science and astronomy. There are no parking lots or signs. Could the area behind this be some sort of garden. There is something lifeless about this picture.

Is it the insides of some old instrument or device?

 

[Barbara L]

Looks like you got it Buck.

StirBlue, For awhile I thought it looked like a sundial too, but the angle thingy (which turns out to be a building?) was on the outside of it. I thought it looked like some kind of large religious complex for awhile too.

[phinz]

You got it Buck. Your turn.

 

[Buck]

What's this place? Where was it built? When? Why? Ain't I the demanding one? Questions anyone? Aren't all these question marks getting a bit silly? Sorry, It's just the John Cleese in me.
Good luck.

[bethzaring]

is it the Crystal palace, built in 1851 (?) for the Great Exhibition, by Queen Victoria's husband, what was his name, oh..........Prince Albert?? In London

 

[Buck]

Well, that one didn't have much staying power, did it?

You're up, Beth.

 

[bethzaring]

Well, that one didn't have much staying power, did it?

Buck, would I be correct in giving a more precise location of Hyde Park?

For our next question,

What building is this and where is it?

 

[bethzaring]
