That one looks a lot like Stiletto, Blake.

I've noticed that many lake photos posted on this thread come from cc.com making me feel the poster may not have taken the photo and the guesses seeming very sage-like are coming from knowledge learned on that site, rather than from experience. I don't know if this has anything to do with anything, but for me it's not any fun. Just so you know.

I don't think it has anything to do with anything. Just because the pictures were posted on another website doesn't really mean anything. Actually, following your comment I went over to cc.com to see if I could easily find the answer to the last one and I couldn't. I guessed Stiletto because I've been there and it looks like that. Far as the other speculation, I do know that Blake has a friend with a plane and gets out to take aerials of the area around Stehekin from time to time. Matter of fact, he might have flown over you that weekend you were at ?Scatter? summer before last. I was also in the neighborhood at another lake and Blake flew over me. He also spent several summers working at the Stehekin Bakery and had hiked extensively in the area. I guess I'm not feeling the same discomfort.....

They are all my pictures, I think all of them I posted recently have been taken from the earth. I do have some images from flying with my friends. Since nwhikers doesn't host images, i uploaded them to my cc.com gallery and then linked them to play the game. I didn't have any other way to get them online. I tried not to give any clues as to their location in how i named or described them at the cc.com gallery. ML, it is not Stiletto.

Nope. Only a relative few come from cc. Mostly Blake's. Looks like he's already posted them over there first is all. Who's guesses seem sage-like and are from knowledge gained from that site. I haven't seen any. Please share. If it's not fun, then don't do it. smile.gif

Blake - I have to recuse myself on this one. Even though I've been there, other pics on cc jogged my memory, thus disqualifying me from a clean game. ___________________________________________________________ Here's a "Just for Fun", "Aw come-on, let's be friends", Quarkette friendly entry.

Doesn't look like any I built with my alien friends, but that thing in the background kind of looks like one.

How fair of you, I do suppose if you recognized the location of some of my pics, it would be a clue as to the ID of others. Did I have you stumped at all?

Pyramid Lake. A rather disappointing payoff in the heat of the summer.

If it's a clean shot of a lake I've been to, as in this case, it usually comes to me pretty quick. I just happened to look at the shots with the camera slightly turned first and then "it was like, "oh, yeah"". Your telpirt reppu shot was a good one - had me thinking for a couple days.
