Where am I

[codesplice]

Hehehe...


Here's mine, how about that?

I'm a bit late, and it's been a long while since I last studied Quenya / Tengwar, but I'm gonna take a stab at it.

Veronica?

Edited because I missed the underbar in the first character, vala. I might be a *slight* Tolkien nerd.

 

[Dngrsone]

As I said, Dngrswife...

 

[Dngrsone]

Remember these guys?

 

[huh]

I'd say...


you're in a tree

ps
tattoo guy wouldn't tattoo around my ring finger
( which I wanted instead of wedding ring) because he said it would smudge over time...
that was forever ago though..

pss dngrsone's wife's tat looks nice

 

[Dngrsone]

You should see the new one:

She got her ring touched up, too. I now have a matching ring tattoo, but don't have any pics yet... they are only on the top of the finger, since the Palm side would wear out...

 

[codesplice]

Daniel?

 

[Dngrsone]

Yes?

 

[codesplice]

Those matching Tengwar tats are kind of awesome. Very cool, sir.

 

[Dngrsone]

I thought so. So did a couple who came into the tattoo parlor today... the guy said he was a bit sad that he didn't think of that (as his girl was looking up her name in Tengwar)

[Dngrsone]

Okay, where am I?

 

[dontpanicbobby]

A theme park?

 

[Clementine_3]

Not Pennsylvania.

edit: No, I changed my mind. You are at the RR Museum in PA.

 

[Dngrsone]

Actually, just leaving said museum. However, the engine currently resides at Horseshoe Curve National Monument.

Okay, where am I?

You're in Pennsylvania, or is that too obvious?

 

[Dngrsone]

Sometimes it is. I this case, I am (or was) in Central PA; Altoona, otherwise known as Railroad USA.

I have a couple pictures showing the top and bottom of the curve at the same time, but I need to get to my laptop to see which (if any) are clear enough to post.

You're not in Australia, are you? I remember there used to be a guide on AF from there. I wonder how he's doing?

NVM: You're in Pismo Beach, CA. That's where that tattoo parlor is.

Return to post #1, sorry if it got answered, and I just failed to see it.

Where it's Dngrs hanging out right now?

Did you make it as far South as Santa Barbara / North Goleta?
The Monarch butterfly "hangout" When they are on the North end of their migration?
If it is, you only caught a tiny fraction of them in the photo.

Pismo beach. Season is just starting now.

Last year (or was it two years ago?), when that picture was taken, the population was quite low.

There is another spot where they hang out over in Santa Cruz...

 

[Dngrsone]

Okay, here's a tree growing through a petrified tree.

Where am I now?

 

[no one]

Okay, where am I?

I going to guess, the third stone from the sun.

 

[dontpanicbobby]

A theme park?

 

[Rico ANDROID]

NAPA VALLEY

 

[Dngrsone]

A theme park?

haha, it's a park, and there is a theme, namely purified trees. :thumbs:


As Rico said, I was in Napa Valley, namely Calistoga, which not only has these wonderful petrified trees, but also the second "Old Faithful" geyser in the US (there is a third so-named out in New Zealand).

The locals kind of dismiss it, perhaps out of familiarity our the fact that it doesn't shot nearly as high as it's namesake in Yellowstone, but it does erupt much more often than that other one.

These two things are very much related: the heat powering the geyser is the residual from that which powered the caldera that exploded some 3.4 million years, causing the trees in the aforementioned forest to be knocked down and buried in ash. All that is left of this caldera is the Napa valley itself and Mount St. Helena.

All this volcanic materiel is also the reason why said valley has such a strong presence in the wine-making world.

 

[Rico ANDROID]

@Dngrsone , I have always wanted to go to this park. Relatives visited it and I remember this pic in their collection! Way cool!

 

[Dngrsone]

Okay, the place I am now has another Monarch Butterfly sanctuary, as well as live deer wandering around the golf course (I saw two five-pointers), which happens to surround this lighthouse.

Where am I today?
