Piece of cake, this bridge is the scene of another game I play, geocaching where you hide and seek out "treasure" with a GPSr. I'll see if Kookie is up for another ride this evening after spending a full day on the bike already.

Usually people ask for a clue. If no one asks I'd give it another day or so.
Even though I have no clue as to where this is, I haven't asked for a clue as someone else may have some ideas but have not yet been able to go and get this.
The days where it was a race to get to a tag as quickly as possible to get it before someone else does seem to have gone.
What's the shortest time a tag has lasted? It was less than an hour if I remember correctly.

Top RH corner of the picture gentlemen.
There is a (what looks like a) streetsign with 3 letters partly visible: "WOO". Most streets starting with those letters are along the lines of Woodman or Woodcote or something similar, there's also Woolleston etc. So that is what I started searching on.
Maybe that might be enough of a clue for someone else to get this one rolling?

For you and I it would be a small excursion, but for some others it would be a small diversion to their normal flight path.

Yep that was nice tough one. There is no way I would have picked that as the location. Possibly like you Paul, I searched high and low for 4 square stores. The nearest one was listed as being in the Waitangirua Shopping Centre which was listed as Desert Gold Street which is miles of the mark. But even if it was listed correctly I would have probably discounted that location based on streetview.
Good tag placement Mr Leber.

just so you know...in a lot of tag games any file pic is verboten,and it may even hint that in our rules.At one time there were so many people playing so the competition for tags was intense,and there was always pressure for new tags as there would be multiple people waiting for the new tag.
So we use file pics to post new tags
WE NEVER USE FILE PICS TO CLAIM A TAG....capitals intentional:yes:
