NAME THAT COUNTRY! – A game (2)
Congratulations to DustUp224, for winning the inaugural Name That Country challenge here on FriendBurst.
The answer to the first challenge: THE MALDIVES… an island-chain nation just southwest of the tip of India. Dusty had a bit of an advantage in that he had actually been to The Maldives.
Now, here we are on Part TWO!
Can you name what country is pictured in these photos?
Much our like our first country, this one has some spectacular coastlines (rule out Mongolia for this week)…
On these coastlines, they do some interesting things… Like this… I’m not sure how this would work without long exposure photography or LSD.
And although I am not intimately familiar with their history, they must have been worried about people hittin them on the coast because they built things like this..
I suppose the coastline is also a good place to worship...
Speaking of history, people have lived in this land for thousands of years…
So they’ve been around for a while, but at the same time, it’s a relatively new country.
They like their monuments…
Heck, even their subways stations are beautiful!
I can’t recall ever meeting anyone from this place, but they seem friendly enough!
And it looks like they enjoy a good tune!
Look at the size of that ukulele!
So, there we are folks!
Can you…
NAME THAT COUNTRY!
Greece…..? :groovy:
I think it’s Ukraine.
ugh atoll
Turkey and no not the bird…..
I am tired. I am guessing its Montenegro
I know about that little castle that’s on the rock, but for the life of me I can’t remember where it is. Now I’m all upset.
Azerbaijan?
I am guessing Turkey.
It’s the Ukraine. That little castle in the picture is in Yalta – technically that’s in Crimea. Remember the Big Four Conference in 1945? This is not a place I am really that interested in going – too close to Kiev and Chernobyl.
That is Ukraine.
In Kiev are those subway stations.
The first castle is in Yalta, the name of the castle is “The Swallows’s Nest- Yalta” The city is located on the site of an ancient Greek colony, said to have been founded by Greek sailors.
The other one is from Foros Crimea.
And the coastlines are at the Black Sea. They are our neighbors.
Definitely Disneyland.
I’m disqualified from entering this contest because I’m stupid.
Damn, someone else has guessed it before I woke up.
It’s the United States of Kat! Katifurria!!
of course this is Yalta, from greek word Γιάλτα
before it was russian, now it’s ukranian territory
in Krimea. National ukranian costumes,
orthodox christian church
and famous conference in 1945. Great blog post.
Chekhov with Leo Tolstoy at Yalta, 1900
I will sit in the audience for this one- the costumes looked Ukranian- how do I know- I just know some things 😉
I like these posts……..
:entertained:
I was going to guess Croatia. But those onion spires had me worried; I don’t think they make it out quite that far west.
