Guess what this is a photo of!

[phinz]

I'm looking for what it is, where it is *and* its claim to fame.

I have no idea what or where it is (and don't have the time right now to look, darn it!), but it looks like a miniature. It could just be the way it was photographed that makes it look that way.

Now that you mention it Barbara, it does look like a miniature. The thing above the second opening from the left looks like a bolt.

Matmata, Tunisia?
Scenery for some Star Wars and Indiana Jones Movies?

 

[phinz]

You have Tunisia. You have the correct movie. It's not a miniature, and it has a specific name for the location.

Hotel Sid Sidriess, Matmata

 

[phinz]

Close enough. It's Hotel Sidi Driss, Tunisia. Star Wars, Episode IV, A New Hope. It was the home of Lars and Beru Skywalker. You can still stay there to this day.

Your turn Cara.

okay... I think this should be an easy one..

what and where?

 

[phinz]

That's the Rasin Building in Prague, CZ, I believe. It's also called Fred and Ginger.

If I'm right, you'll have to post another one, Cara. I'm headed to Disneyworld in 45 minutes, and I won't be back until next Saturday night.

thanks, phinz.. of course you are right ;o)
but after considering it I think we had it before...

I'll look for something new... hope you enjoy your stay!

 

[cara]

okay.... here it is...

what is it and what were they build for?

 

[Buck]

Statues guarding the road to the Valley of the Kings and Queens at Luxor on the west bank of the Nile in
Egypt.

 

[cara]

hmm.. it seems this one was too easy, too

 

[Buck]

Okay, campers, what is this creature?

 

[Barbara L]

Would that adorable little guy be a tarsier?

[Buck]

Here's lookin' at you, kid! You got it. You're next.

 

[Barbara L]

Thanks! I have a certain thing in mind but can't find a picture yet. I'll post one as soon as I find it.

[Barbara L]

Only found one bad picture of the thing I wanted, so I will go with this instead. I hope the picture shows up ok. Where is this place, what is it called, and what is its claim to fame?

 

[Barbara L]

None of the pictures are showing up anymore--just links. Is it just me, or is everyone only seeing links for the last few pictures?
