3 years.... 3 years !!!! It's been almost 3 years since the last post in this place. It was time to either let it die or revive the game. I chose the latter.

Here is # 43 ! For Dennis Eckersley, even though he never played there.... Go! Name this place !

Reminder: You guess what the picture shows and where it is located. Winners win absolutely nothing.

Until Neil finds a place to share with us, we will play with this. It could be much easier from some....

NameThisPlace#041

2007-11-05T10:17:00.000-08:00

An easy one for a change. We are going on vacation for the rest of the week. Guess where! ;))

NameThisPlace#040

2007-09-05T13:34:00.000-07:00

Hello boys & girls,
Once again, it's been way too long. Please, at least try this time.... Sebastien Le Schelkr provided us with this unusual location.

NameThisPlace#039

2007-06-05T09:48:00.000-07:00

What a lazy bum! 2 months.... Here's #039. Good luck !

NameThisPlace#038

2007-04-02T14:35:00.000-07:00

I gave so much time to everybody to find 037, but no one did. I guess NTP is getting too difficult for some. ahahah!

Here is the new one. The satellite images are not bad, but Google didn't do a very good job at putting them together. To your satellite, ready, go !!

NameThisPlace#037

2007-02-12T10:50:00.000-08:00

Let's see if you can find this one. Not very far from #036, but still... not that close.

NameThisPlace#036

2007-02-08T12:19:00.000-08:00

Yes, I guess you could call these crop circles, but that's not quite what they are... Any idea?

NameThisPlace#035

2007-01-16T16:48:00.000-08:00

Nobody has found #034 yet and I am starting to doubt anyone ever will.... In the meantime, here is #035. The picture is much clearer, so it should be easier. NB: Yes, I have been there, but no, this is NOT where we spent our last vacation. If you know where we went in January 2007, go back to #034. Good luck!

NameThisPlace#034

2007-01-10T11:31:00.000-08:00

After a long stretch without new images, NTP is back! Merry Christmas ; Happy New Year, yadiyadiyada... I just got back from vacation and the people who know where we went have a big hint on where this beach is situated. Any idea?

NameThisPlace#033

2006-11-27T14:08:00.000-08:00

What is this in the middle? And more importantly, where is it?

NameThisPlace#032

2006-11-21T14:35:00.000-08:00

NameThisPlace just woke up from a very, very long nap. This month-long dream brought a idea to my mind. And here is it below.

NameThisPlace#031

2006-11-01T11:31:00.000-08:00

It's probably a good thing that the quality of this picture is poor. However, it won't last very long.... I just thought I'd throw it out there.

NameThisPlace#030

2006-10-31T12:07:00.000-08:00

La 'pitite soeur d'arno" sent us a picture. Yayy! This city has many jewels worth being shared on NTP. We'll make sure to look for more soon.

NameThisPlace#029

2006-10-25T09:34:00.000-07:00

And now, for something completely different.

NameThisPlace#028

2006-10-19T09:42:00.000-07:00

This country is legendary for being populated by a bunch of crazy people who like to jump off buildings. This particular building is well-known for being used for bungy-jumping and tandem base-jumping.

NameThisPlace#027

2006-10-06T13:05:00.000-07:00

It's been one week since the last picture. It was clearly time to do something about it. So, here is our new picture. Just as for the crying man in Iceland, this oyster-shaped lake was found without the help of the forums or any kind of Google Earth feature. One small hint though, so you don't spend your weekend on it: We are still in Africa. Good luck.

NameThisPlace#026

2006-09-29T11:29:00.000-07:00

Here's another high definition picture showing a bunch of guys who need a cold beer. We are staying on the same continent. Good luck.

NameThisPlace#025

2006-09-28T14:26:00.000-07:00

Monsieur Pilon sent us a new picture and it looks like we're finally going to a continent we haven't been before. Technically, this is not a GE picture as it was taken from a plane and not from a satellite, but we will accept it anyway, as a one-off. We need the country this picture was taken in, and if applicable, the name of the national park.

NameThisPlace#024

2006-09-22T14:44:00.000-07:00

When I bumped into this, I first saw 2 strangely human-looking figures. I don't know if you see them too, but I see two screaming (or crying) monsters straight out of a Munch painting or a Druillet graphic novel. No wonder now that this country has produced some of the darkest and scariest legends on the planet... Where are we? What is the name of this location?

NameThisPlace#023

2006-09-17T22:53:00.000-07:00

This building would be recognized in a heart beat if shown from the ground, but what about from the sky ?

NameThisPlace#022

2006-09-16T02:55:00.000-07:00

Things are going crazy! Pictures are lasting for less than a day now. I think we're going to have to step it up a notch in the future. Here's a new picture sent by Pilon. It looks familiar, but no, it's not the Place Centrale in Martigny!

NameThisPlace#021

2006-09-15T12:28:00.000-07:00

From the cold mountains of Switzerland, we go to a significantly warmer climate. Where is this?

NameThisPlace#020

2006-09-14T08:55:00.000-07:00

It is now the turn of mrit to send us a picture. Thank you! Our friends from Valais are gently asked not to participate to this one, for two reasons: It might be too easy for some and it would not help our international visitors to learn a bit more about our beloved home country.

We're looking for the exact location AND the name of the glacier. Good luck!

NameThisPlace#019

2006-09-13T17:23:00.000-07:00

Now that we have started with crop circles, David found a very original one. It might not last too long, but we'll see. Good luck!

NameThisPlace#018

2006-09-12T16:13:00.000-07:00

Mister Pilon sent us a new picture. He's really making my life much easier. Thank you! This time, we have an image with an obvious educational purpose. It's incredible what you can do with a dictionary and a combine harvester.

NameThisPlace#017

2006-09-08T22:59:00.000-07:00

Ground Zero was recognized in a few seconds. Congratulations to Mr. David !

Now for the new contest and for the first time ever, we have 2 pictures on one post. The first one shows one "little" detail that can be seen in the second one ; if you can find it... ;) Oh, and just for information, the broken links to the "Learn the..." on the right have been corrected.

NameThisPlace#016

2006-09-08T13:28:00.000-07:00

One for the weekend. It shouldn't be too hard. As a bonus, a link to some Friendly visitors.

NameThisPlace#015

2006-09-06T22:02:00.000-07:00

Mister David finally decided to send us a picture. And what a choice !
I wish everybody a lot of luck.

NameThisPlace#014

2006-09-05T20:24:00.000-07:00

We're back and alive! Please, tune in to the Valgraphies SA website for our Burning Man tales. Coming soon.

In the meantime, Pilon has sent me a new NTP picture. This is what we're here for, right? A very evocative and unfortunate picture. Unless it's in India, of course. Please, do not hesitate to send me pictures too. valgraphies(at)yahoo(dot)com

NameThisPlace#013

2006-08-28T14:07:00.000-07:00

Apart from Mr. Fox, no one seems to have guessed/found where #012 was. I will leave it there for now.

Monsieur Pilon has sent us a new picture for #013 and this one will be challenging. David, you said that you wanted difficult pictures. Te voila servi. I think I know where and most importantly what it is, but only because pilon used the name of the place to name the picture file he sent me. Of course, I promptly changed it to our NTP standard. AHAHAH!!

Please note that NameThisPlace will be closed until September 5th, due to BurningMan craziness. We expect to have it running again on September 6th, if we make it back alive....

NameThisPlace#012

2006-08-24T10:18:00.000-07:00

Where is this ? Too easy ?

NameThisPlace#011

2006-08-23T09:59:00.000-07:00

Eleve Pilon sent us this picture for our number 011. Very interesting choice. Good luck!

NameThisPlace#010

2006-08-22T12:33:00.000-07:00

While we wait for Marius to send us his image, here is #010 for you to work on. One hint: the satellite image was taken in June 2002 and I am not sure why it's red all over the sides, but the last recorded eruption was in 1707.

NameThisPlace#009

2006-08-18T10:57:00.000-07:00

Eventhough we received a very helpful hint from eleve Pilon, nobody has found where #008 is situated yet. I will leave it as is for now.

It has been enough time now and I am ready to show #009. The heart-shaped reservoir and the dog-shaped neighborhood are somewhere in France, but where exactly ? The winner of this one wins the right to pick/choose the next image.

NameThisPlace#008

2006-08-15T09:45:00.000-07:00

Where is this baseball stadium ? Anybody ?

NameThisPlace#007

2006-08-14T23:09:00.000-07:00

This one won't last a minute...

NameThisPlace#006

2006-08-11T10:00:00.000-07:00

Ok, here we go. Number 006. This one should be a little bit more challenging. It might require a bit more research than usual, but please don't spend your weekend on it. :)

NameThisPlace#005

2006-08-10T14:38:00.000-07:00

Yes, it is on Earth and No, it is not a spaceship from the Vogon galaxy.

NameThisPlace#004

2006-08-09T16:27:00.000-07:00

Here is number 4. A little bit more difficult maybe. Globetrotters or architecture amateurs should recognize this building right away.

NameThisPlace#003

2006-08-08T15:12:00.000-07:00

Here is the third picture. This one should be much easier for my fellow compatriots.

NameThisPlace#002

2006-08-05T15:11:00.000-07:00

Due the overwhelming response to the first image posted below, I have no choice, but to post the second one right away. A little hint for you all: This building is situated in the USA, but what is it and where is it exactly?

NameThisPlace#001

2006-08-01T17:08:00.000-07:00

I chose a fairly easy one for the first... Please, post your answers as comments.
