I was just thinking while posting some shots of the https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/post-your-photos/33591-uss-constitution.html there seemed to be more than a few folks that have been there as well. Thats could make an interesting game/challenge/just for fun thread.

Someone posts a picture of a place they have been or have pictures of forwhatever reason. Then anyone else that has pictures of that posts thier view. I have not worked out he details of how long it will last or how it would end or move on but I am sure someone could help with details.

What do you guys think.

Here is something to start. The capital building in Boston.

Maybe set a limit 5-10 posts the last person gets to change it or start a new thread with I was There as the title and the place? Thoughs

HMMM ... I guess my suggested game was not so interesting, or maybe just not the right picture or rules. I have thought about it and will just start a new post that will be titled "I was there too, Fenway Park" The thread can stay open forever and if you happen to be at Fenway Park you can post your picture to the thread. Anyone can start a "I was there too (insert your place)". It could be fun if you plan to visit a place you can see if it has been by other folks or if you always wondered what was there you could just check out the pictures. Or I am crazy and this is a flop

Either way I am oka with it. The more I think of it not really a game but a informative view of others I guess.

Hey Vieve

Your idea is a sound one, unfortunately it's too narrow and doesn't include the majority of the viewers on this site. Think about expanding it to something along the lines of "City's with statues", "Waterfalls", or "Exotic cars". This way any of us will be able to play.

Just some food for thought....

Now that is a good idea and should lend to more diversity.

I like Coffee's idea. And to start it off, how about just "capitals" can be state, country, province, "semi autonomous region" what ever.

To that end here is a shot of the US Capitol bldg in Washington.

So let's see other capital's (or the same one's for that matter).

Okay, sounds good and maybe will give this game some life!!! I tried to change the name of the thread to reflect what it is looking for. Let's see if it sticks now.

daacon · 08-09-2008, 09:00 AM

Now you are talking ! Capital of Alberta - Edmonton, The provincial legislative building

maxwell1295 · 08-09-2008, 09:06 AM
