Where is this? What is this? Who is this? etc. (Pic Quiz: World)

Livadia Palace

Yalta

Wartime conference between the ‘Big Three’ Allied war leaders

(That’s Churchill, Franklin D, and Stalin to you)

Wrong country, but the time frame isn’t too far off.

What do you mean wrong country? You didnt ask for the country.

So am I correct or not? Presumably not

I’m telling you you’re in the wrong country. :grin:

I got a little over excited there

Glad I could post something a little pornographic. :wink:

By the way Crimea was in Russia during that time period If I am not mistaken, so we can say its not in Russia?

Correct.

The White Palace Khartum, Egypt. Gordon’s death location.

No, not in Egypt. But I can see the architectural resemblance.

The Mount Washington Hotel, Bretton Woods, New Hampshire?

This was the site of the 1944 Bretton Woods Agreement, which according to Wikipedia, established the “Bretton Woods system of monetary management [which] established the rules for commercial and financial relations” among various countries, including the U. S., Canada, Western European countries, Australia, and Japan.

Thanks! I took a page out of your book and tried a regular word search.

青出於藍勝於藍 :grin:

I don’t quite get that one (and Google Translate wasn’t much help), but I hope it’s a compliment. :slight_smile:

Just for the record, here’s the initial word search that led to an image of that hotel:

I’m not saying that that sort of thing will work every time.

Sometimes it’s just that easy. I was considering cropping out the roof…probably should have.

Your hint about the time frame helped.

I was doing similar but I missed the red roof

Nice work

This may end very quickly.

What specific thing is this a drawing of? Please give the usual name for it.

Note 1: You don’t have to state the specific version of the thing. I myself don’t know the specific version that this drawing represents, and I’m too lazy to look it up. The name should probably be two words, but one word–the first word–would be all right with me, if it’s the right word.

Note 2: You’ve probably noticed that I did some funky stuff to the picture. That’s because, if I were to post it in its original form, it would have very good “Google-ability.” Even in its current funky form, it has at least one serious weakness (and perhaps others to which I may be blind).
