Yes. The place is huge!
That little building in picture two is a full-scale replica of a church in Austria built to commemorate the site where "Silent Night" was written.
The town of Frankemuth bills itself as a little slice of Bavaria in the US; spouse forced me to stop at Bronner's but since we had a boat to catch we didn't spend any time in Frankenmuth.
They have entire kiosks in that store devoted to particular ornament types: a pet kiosk, a sports kiosk, a food kiosk, a hobby kiosk...
Where is this?

Kind of looks like the undercut shelves in Walnut Canyon near Flagstaff.
It's not Walnut Canyon, but it does have ruins and petroglyphs.Quote:

It doesn't look like a Federally-approved sign, so I would think it is either a Nations park or a state park. And I am thinking Arizona. But beyond that....
What a beautiful arch. Perhaps Arches National Park in Utah.
I didn't see the arch you shot, but here's a nice shot of petroglphys in Arches!

That looks an awful lot like Sipapu Bridge.
My first thought was Natural Bridges NM based on the buff sandstones and what little of the background topography can be seen. I'll second CalOldBlue on Sipapu Bridge within that NM.Quote:

But it's possible that Kestrel was standing on that knob-like mesa and therefore captured this relatively undershot image. So... maybe I'm agreement too. In any case, great view!
Mark
Yes, it is Sipapu bridge in Natural Bridges. The first shot was taken halfway down the trial.Quote:

Unfortunately that was in my celluloid and silver days, makes it harder to pore through my archives.
That's some nice ancient graffiti.Quote:

(I suspect some hints will be needed).
Three Rivers Petroglyph site west of Ruidoso NM. http://www.ruidomain.com/ruidoso/photogal/3rpetro.htm
Identify the mountains on the horizon.

You certainly got that one quick.Quote:

Probably the Olympic Mountains in Washington.
Shot from the vicinity of Pike Place Market in Seattle.
Where is this?

Looks a little bit like the Henry Mountains in the background.
San Rafael Swell of eastern Utah?Quote:

Oh, yes, that could be a better match.....

Yes, it's Capitol Reef National Park in Utah.Quote:

Nope; but you ARE in the right state.
But it has the wrong back yard.... That style of architecture is relatively common in Washington -- so somebody's likely to know it!
Mark
It's Lime Kiln lighthouse on the west side of San Juan Island. One white flash every 5 seconds.
Nautical charts are even more fun than road maps.
Where is this?

And what movie was filmed at this location?
I dunno but I'm really digging its wacky architecture.Quote:

AZBuck
Went there, bought the tshirt.
I agree with "Sleeper"; but the IMDB shows that film being shot at "Sculptured House", in Golden Colorado.
Yes?
I agree with "Sleeper" (while having not a clue as to 'Clockwork Orange').
A more precise location of the house, though, is Evergreen, CO.
Foy
puts it at:
39 degrees, 42 minutes, 3 seconds North
105 degrees, 16 minutes, 37.6 seconds West
Overlooking I70 about halfway between Golden and Evergreen, on the Evergreen side of I70.
What is this? http://donandlindacasey.com/images/MysteryObject.jpg
And what town did I find it in? http://www.roadtripamerica.com/blog/...ery-marker.jpg
Evergreen, Colorado is correct. The photo was taken from Genesse Mountain Park, owned by the city of Denver. The house is also easily visible from I70 just east of the Genesse exit.Quote:

The "L" sign is a Lincoln Highway marker, but I don't know the location of this one, or what the up arrow is for.
6th and Aultman, facing east. (Isn't Google Maps Street View amazing?!). The arrow on the concrete post is. I believe, nothing more than a directional arrow indicating that the Lincoln highway proceeds straight ahead.
AZBuck
done and done
Here's a detail of the street scene (picture 2), with an arrow pointing to the marker (picture 1):
http://donandlindacasey.com/images/ElyDetail.jpg
in front of the White Pine Chamber of Commerce (Ely is the county seat).
As for the Lincoln Highway; here's some info: http://www.lincolnhighwayassoc.org/info/
And, of course, the resident Lincoln Highway expert is Brian Butko and his book is -- GREETINGS FROM THE LINCOLN HIGHWAY can be found here.
and RTA has featured at least one mural from the Lincoln Highway....
What is it, and where is it? (Portions of photo smudged to hide the answer).
