Quiz Time (General Knowledge & Out of Area)

[Yorkie]

Unfortunately - No!  No Bom Success for you this time.  Again the answer is much further South.  ££$

Is this the one in Olhao.....?

[Yorkie]

  Hollins!  It is indeed the boat that I photographed whilst on holiday this month.  The location is actually given on the bow lettering where OL can be seen above the name. This is the registration letters for Olhao where it is registered.   Easy to find really!   

[Yorkie]

On my recent sojourn I came across the two headless gentlemen below.  Does anyone know where they are located and for what reason.   The photograph is not very good and I had to do a bit of (very) amateur retouching!
One for Bri?

[Bri Roberts]

Burtons?

[Yorkie]

It had to be someone!  Well thought out, Bri, but totally incorrect.

A clue, they are displayed in a glass case, which necessitated the retouching to remove the reflections.

[hollins]

Is it that glass case at Liverpool airport with the Beatles suits in?

[Yorkie]

Right again, Hollins!   Actually the suits of John Lennon after who the Airport is named.
 

[hollins]

Where in England will you find this slightly smirking fellow?

[DaveR]

Is that Canterbury Cathedral?

[Yorkie]

I'll come clean and say Bath Abbey!

[hollins]

Yorkie is correct, well done. It is Bath Abbey in the background taken from the Roman Baths which are an amazing sight.
Here are a couple of photos of the baths.

[DaveR]

That looks like a place worth visiting, fascinating.

[Yorkie]

Looks as though it could do with a change of water! 

Definitely worth a visit as do all the old Churches and Cathedrals in the UK.   Some fantastic examples of the Mason's Art can be seen and appreciated.   Many interior as well as the exterior features are also worthy of the attention of a good photographer.

Look out for the distinguishing "marks" of the Mason on individual stones.  Collecting "marks" can be as interesting as collecting train numbers!  Or even more so!
