Picture Game: Where is this picture of your bike and a landmark taken?

[Conquiztador]

Was sitting here inside while the water is pissing down outside. And was thinking bout the places I been with my bike.

That was when I came up with this idea of a competition:

Post a pic of a NZ landmark, and have your bike/a bike, in the pic. The first one who get it right will get a green bling and the right to post the next one.

So the simple rules:
- Need to be in NZ.
- There has to be a bike/your bike in the pic.
- You need to be able to keep an eye on the replies after you have posted so there is no big holdup.
- The first one to get it right gets a green bling from you, and the right to post his/her own one. But they have the right to pass and someone else will then be able to post a pic.

NOTE: If you embed a pick to the posting from your private album, then only your frinds can se it (just learnt that!)

Simple enuf?

So to show the way I start:

Should I be able to see a picture in the first post?

Yep, there is a pic. Check your puter settings.

[Jantar]

No pic on my screen either.

Edit. I used a Mods privelege to look at your post a bit closer. You have attempted to embed a pic from your own album, so only your friends will be able to view it.

[Conquiztador]

No pic on my screen either.

Clearly ZukiLover did see it. And I can too. It is embedded in the posting not as an attachement.

Does this mean that you guys do not see embedded pics?

I will add it as an attachement also just to make it easier.

That depends on where you have embedded it from. In this case very few would be able to see it.

A stab in the dark: Looks like somewhere up north. So how bout bridge in gorge just South East of Paeroa?

Yup this is 'Armchair tagorama' for bad weather/ for those with little time to spare/ for those laid up after accident or illness etc. I think it's a pretty cool idea myself, plenty of room for all Tago variations I reckon :yes:

Well see... no it is not Tag-O-Rama.

Here why not:

- There is no need to jump on a bike and find a "Tag" (Therefore the Tag part falls off)
- The only "O" here would be when you see the scenery and go: "OOOOHHHH!!!"
- Not sure exactley what "Rama" means, but not able to find anything that could be classified as Rama here. (Might be something Indian??)
- You can grab a pic from 20 years ago (We old cunts have heaps of them...) and use that pic here.
- The pic can be from anywhere in NZ (and I am sure some will include pics from overseas too. Might already be one or two??) so it is not specific to a group from a specific city/location.
- You could even photoshop your bike on to a nice backdrop of a bunch of whales at Kaikoura and be fine here!

And as mentioned: This can be done from the sofa on a rainy night, and even while drunk!

I like the idea. But you would expect that. It was mine... ;)

Yeah...it was just what I thought was a fairly short ride with some scenery I figured every Jafa should recognise.But did you get to the other side to see where you had been?

There is this guy who keeps riding his bikes up to the dams and taking photos - it's very suspicious,so we have denied access....

It is the home Marae of the Super Maori Fullas (Think "White Ribbon" and "It's Not OK" campaigns). I respect them highly and went visiting them a few days ago on my tour. I always wanted to have a pic of me in front of that same Marae. And it is in Herekino.
