Guess the place - geography game

[Pygathrix]

All correct. Over to someone else.

 

[Stefka]

Annoyingly Stefka has got three correct after only five minutes.

I am sorry...

 

[Stefka]

Ok, three pictures from me again...

2. A bridge over the Danube in Budapest?

That is correct!

 

[Pygathrix]

1 Azure Window, Malta

 

[Stefka]

1 Azure Window, Malta

Correct!

Now.. the last picture will decide... I admit that it might me not as known as the others, but... it´s very "googleble"... Extra points for this one

 

[Pygathrix]

it´s very "googleble"...

It's not, you know

 

[Stefka]

It's not, you know

OK, I will provide hints, questions and answers style. Ask away!

 

[PAT]

Where is it?

But on a more serious note; Is it in the UK?

 

[Stefka]

Where is it?

But on a more serious note; Is it in the UK?

Nope, but very close

 

[nanoboy]

Nope, but very close

Some kind of waterwheel in Ireland?

 

[Stefka]

Some kind of waterwheel in Ireland?

Ireland - correct. Waterwheel?? Not even close

When *it* was build, *it* was the largest one in the world. (Remained the largest one for about 70 years..)

P.S. I admit, it´s not that well known, unless you´re interested in this kind of *thing*. I kinda put it here to promote it, cause the place is beautiful

 

[Pygathrix]

Is it a cannon?

 

[Stefka]

Is it a cannon?

nope..sorry..

 

[Stefka]

OK, more hints needed I guess... think "science" ...
two more pictures:

 

[montagne14]

It's a telescope in Birr Demesne

 

[Stefka]

Hurray!

For everyone, that didn´t know about this place, I absolutely recommend a visit. It´s kinda in the middle of nowhere, but if you´re travelling around Ireland, you should definitively stop here. Not only for the telescope, the gardens are incredible as well.

Result of this round:
1. Azure Window, Gozo, Malta - Pygathrix
2. Chain Bridge, Budapest, Hungary - nanoboy
3. Rosse six foot telescope, nicknamed Leviathan of Parsonstown, Birr Castle, Ireland - montagne14

montagne14, you guessed the hardest one, so you can have a turn now.

Ask away if you need some hints
