"Where in North America is this?" Section V

[Mark Sedenquist]

This is the Fifth section of a popular mind puzzle first brought to the membership by member Quebec Gen.

General Rules of the "Where in North America is this?" Game
1) Anyone can play -- just follow along and test your mettle about places found in North America.
2) You'll need to be a registered member of this Forum if you want to contribute your own photographs and/or participate in the discussion for each place.
3) You will need to have the ownership or usage rights to any photo that you post on this forum, as per the terms & conditions of Federal copyright law. If you post a photo that you do not own the rights to, Forum Management reserves the right to remove it. As a matter of practical use, we would expect that you would be posting only those photos that you or a close family member have taken.
4) Every photo of a mystery place needs to be unique in some way -- And there should be "visual clues" in the photo to enable us to solve where the mystery location is...

This is not an perfect example of the kind of photo that works for this game, but I bet some of you'll know it anyway (as I am working on the navigation for the rest of the game...)

Where is this?

[Mark Sedenquist]

This shot is beautiful but it's also a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....d example of the kind of images that we like to include here.... And it's within 1/2 hour of the famous Las Vegas Strip.

With that clue, it must be the Sheep Range in the DNWR north of LV.

[Mark Sedenquist]

Yep, this is right south west of the visitor center and those are the Sheep Range in the background.

Where would you be standing if you took a photo like this one:

[glc]

I think I would be standing on Fremont St in Las Vegas.

Two for two, no grass is growing under your feet this week!

This one has 2-3 visual clues.... Can you identify them?

Where is this? For extra credit (GLC -- do you feel lucky?) what is the street where this would be seen from?

[Midwest Michael]

I assume that's the Vegas Monorail.

I can't quite tell what the partially hidden sign says or is, so I'll guess that this particular segment is somewhere along Paradise...

[Mark Sedenquist]

Michael,

Excellent work!

OK, the three visual clues:
1) The crown-like sign is the top of the Las Vegas Hilton Sign
2) That is a car from the Las Vegas Monorail
3) The building in the background is the top of the Las Vegas Convention Center

So this was taken on the corner of Paradise and Convention Center Blvd...
