Try again with another continent, this wasn´t the right one!
Good luck!

time to get some decent sleep. Next time I will do some research.

The only places in the world where you'll find those particular trees and parks would be S. Oz, N. America, Kiwistan and Europe. The first two continents are already excluded, which leaves us with the latter two options: NZ and EU. Considering the state of maintanance in which the park is, i would narrow it down to either Christchurch or London.

I'd go with London.

Good reflection! Now you´re in the right continent, but London is a wrong answer. Try to see more than trees and parks in the photo, there´s something more...maybe a bridge....

Good luck and try again!

Milton Keynes ?

This is not the right answer.

Now you´re in the right continent, but in a wrong country, so try again. Another clue: where the photo has been taken, the weather is much nicer than in the UK...

Hmmm..... nicer weather, but the vegetation is definately not mediterranean, which narrows it down to basically the Basque and Galician coast.

Has to be either Bilbao, Santander or La Coruna.

Bilbao would be my favorite pick this time.

You are getting closer and closer, but neither Bilbao, La Coruna nor Santander are the right answer. Try to search somewhere in Spain! And remember the brigde...

Sevilla

Is not Sevilla, try again!

Madrid???

adpoca · Post by **adpoca** » 02 Mar 2006, 23:02

Madrid is a wrong answer, so try again. You are not to far away.

Toledo?

adpoca · Post by **adpoca** » 03 Mar 2006, 20:04

Is not Toledo. Another clue, and with this one I hope you get it. In two weeks in the city where the photo has been taken there will take place one of the most important festivals in Europe! Now it´s very easy!

This is taking too long for the place making the best paella

BTW, I slightly doubt the construction in the picture is the known bridge you mean.

adpoca · Post by **adpoca** » 05 Mar 2006, 16:13

Hi Rayman! I think you have got it. Look the brigde from the other side! You have only now to give the name of the city.

Rayman · Post by **Rayman** » 05 Mar 2006, 17:54

I know that's the bridge you meant, still I doubt on the construction in your original pix.
That's why I won't name any city

The Calatrava is smaller and pending on one side. The front optical effect is that the suspension bars are converging at the top.

In your pix (this is the original btw) the bridge is taller (look at the small people as reference) and standing vertical. Moreover, if you take a good look, the pillars are alternately of 2 different width.

It should not have any obstacles (buildings) in the front or back as placed on the old bed of the Turia river (wonderful garden nowadays).

And that tall building seems to be the Francia Towers, which is on the left of this pix followilg the "river".

That's why I doubt on "that" bridge given as clue.
IMHO those are 2 different constructions......Luckily in the same city

adpoca · Post by **adpoca** » 05 Mar 2006, 22:48

It´s obviously now, you´ve got the city, the answer you think about it´s the right one, a wonderful city. The Calatrava brigde is the one I refered to. I chose this photo because it was not so easy to identify which bridge it was and therefore to make it a bit more difficult, but you are right ! Very good!!

Rayman · Post by **Rayman** » 06 Mar 2006, 00:01

I probably didn't make my point clear.

That bridge doesn't fit in the puzzle. I might be wrong.......
Can someone give an opinion?

adpoca · Post by **adpoca** » 06 Mar 2006, 20:45

Now I understand what you want to say. To make it clear, tomorrow I will take a photo from the same place, where this one has been taken. So we´ll be able to see if the bridge fits in the puzzle.Ok? See you and regards from the city (no one has already said the name

)
