"Where in North America?" --- Section III

[Mark Sedenquist]

So far... I've never stopped on a bridge. Oh wait -- I can't say that anymore -- I've done it more than I'll admit... and I've stopped in several places with sighs peppered with no stopping signs in order to get a shot for RTA or another news media outlet I was working for.

Photographers are, by their very nature, a little bit nuts.... Just look at some of the photos in this "Where in North America, Is this" collection -- some of them required a serious bit of personal risk to obtain....

I don't plan to stop on the Hoover Dam Bridge for a shot -- and I sure as heck don't recommend climbing around that gorge for a shot -- this is a very dangerous canyon area!

Big tourist attraction.

Before this photo gets lost in the intrigue of the Black Canyon construction project....And Kudos to Eris again for the nice interlude this afternoon/night/morning/etc.....

Not thinking about bayonnets and tear gas I hope.

OK, your "clue": the item that ties this place's past and present together is also a WWII-era slang term for the article manufactured in the last location I posted.

[Mark Sedenquist]

I'm guessing this would be a slang word for mines? I gotta step away from this one (gingerly) My historical knowledge from WWII is limited.

the other things

On second thought, I may have watched too many war movies as a child... not finding any proof of my memory, so let's just pretend that:

"fish" = WWII slang for "torpedo"

[Mark Sedenquist]

OK, now that the clue has been clarified -- I still don't know where this is... But, I'm sure someone will jump in here soon.

This place was used (exterior) in a Star Trek movie; altered slightly with some CGI effects, and relocated about 120 miles north (by car) of where it actually sits.

P.S. I have 'magic brush'ed out some tell-tale details.

Monterey Aquarium. That is the portion of the Cannery they have near the entrance.

Second best aqaurium in the country, IMO. Atlanta just beats it out because of the gigantic Whale Shark tank.

[Mark Sedenquist]

"fish in the water" and a cannery.... Seriously, you are pushing the envelope of clues. Yes, it was a clever set of clues -- arrrrrrrgh.

Good work on Twilight's part!

You'll note the top of the flag pole is gone -- don't want to make this too easy... Soon we'll return to scenic views, I reckon....
