All New "Where in the World" Game

Some of you may remember many moons ago, a game we used to have called "Where in the World". The premise was easy: someone uploads a photo of somewhere/something around the world from their travels which isn't easily identifiable straight away and everyone else tries to guess where it is. Whoever answers correctly then uploads a photo of their own and so on. There are a lot more new users on VF now so there's plenty of new blood with all-new photos too!

So I'll start with the first photo. Where is this?

Click post a reply, then "upload attachment" - then I think it pretty obvious after that ...

Crispin - unless I'm being a very dense Bear I'm not seeing the 'upload attachment' option ...

I'm on my phone at the moment, but have you hovered over all the little icons over the top of the reply box. It is there I've used it before. If not would IMG tags work [IMG)URL of photo then[/IMG) but all with ] brackets.

Tonty - for advanced reply options like attachments, you need to hit the 'Post a reply' (blue) button rather than use the Quick reply box.

I'm thinking the New York City Public Library - it looks familiar.

That was my thought also, but the lack of any tall buildings in the background made me doubt myself, especially as it has been 3 years since we last went to NYC so my memory isn't that hot.

Well it is somewhere in the US or Malaysia judging by the flag...given the inscriptions on the building it must be the US. Seems to be an art museum. Will have a think.
