Dublin Picture Game

Exit

Thought I'd try this. If it takes off, fine... if it doesn't, it doesn't.

Here's the rules, a poster posts a picture of Dublin, people guess until someone is right. The winner either posts a picture or forfeits and somebody else steps up and posts a picture.

You have to take the picture yourself (basically, don't take from websites). If it's a neighbourhood picture, take a picture that people can reasonably guess at. Not some back alley or some generic house. And make sure the picture takes in quite a bit (i.e. not a close-up of a bench or something) People just have to guess the neighbourhood, but for a city picture the winner has to name the street.

I'll start off with one...

glenn3ie

is it on the road from town to ringsend/irishtown???

irlirishkev

Is it Townsend St? Junction at Lombard Street?
If it is, I win, and I'm going to reserve my go for a later date when I actually have my camera with me!

Sniff, that's Seashell

Kev got it right.

Correct!

irlirishkev

Woohoo!
Well, like I say, I've no camera, and no pics at hand here in work, so someone else can have my turn!

jameshayes

is that the chipper that will deep fry anything ??

Exit

Ok, I'll go again...

Dirk Gently

Talbot street

NIBBS

that's the one - bottom of Talbot St - Amien St end.....don't recognise the Arch though....????

Exit

Yeah, correct. I knew that one was too easy.

The arch would be part of the DART line coming from Connolly. I think there was a building in front of which was why it probably wasn't visible before.

Clown's turn..

Dirk Gently

Go ahead young man. In work so no access to my photos.
I was nearly going to run around to talbot street and have a look for that arch. couldn't place it.

spurious

It's the site of the old 'New Electric' Cinema - later Furniturama.
Lovely bit of stonework in that first picture. They don't make them like that anymore.

Exit

Ok, this one is likely to be tougher. Or at least I think so anyway.

Dirk Gently

Jamestown business park

Exit

Nope. I realise this one is difficult so I'll say that it's in the city centre.

Took me all of 5 seconds to look up RE Flanagan in the phone book. How about no business names allowed in future?

Exit

Yeah, I thought that might be the case after I posted that.

If you're gonna take out photos of businesses, it kinda limits the scope for city centre pictures. How about a "no looking up phonebook/google" rule instead?
