Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted November 30, 2017 The beautiful Baha'i temple in Haifa, Israel at night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,450 Posted November 30, 2017 Drat, I woulda' thought it was a difficult one to ID. You been to Haifa, dakota? Thousands of US military (Navy and Marines - US Sixth Fleet) spent shore leave there recently. From what I heard, they had a terrific time and were hosted by the Israelis like family!

Cal 393 Posted November 30, 2017 This is similar to a game I've played on another site. Over there we have to come up with the likely location the photographer was standing to take the advertising pic. This pic has everyone stumped, including the threads "moderator". So, anyone here happen to have seen this church in your travels? Best we can guess today is somewhere in the southwest US. Cal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cal 393 Posted December 1, 2017 Catskill's? Can't say yea or nay as we don't know, but it does not look like any part of the Catskills that I have been through. Cal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted December 1, 2017 hey I threw a dart at the map best info I can glean is commercial doors on the part of the building on the left - right resembles a church - looks like 2 couples with a baby and a preacher. I cut the image and reloaded it so I could image search the different distinct parts without the cars and still nothing - this is a tough one 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jmas 119 Posted December 1, 2017 Here's a couple better images. I don't know if it's the southwest. It has a chimney, and I think the house in the background does too. Plus the hills in the background are pretty green. If someone could figure out who the guy is in the stained glass, maybe the church is named after him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cal 393 Posted December 1, 2017 Now those are good observations jmas. I noticed the tree got moved between the first and second picture also! Time to expand my search area I think... Keep throwing darts Scott - some of us like those old A Bodies! Cal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice&dice 2,450 Posted December 1, 2017 Newport, Rhode Island? (car is named Newport, is it possible that's also the location?) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted December 1, 2017 I tried cropping the image and re uploading so I could do an image search without the cars and even on just the church part and got nada - - I figured it was somewhere in new york or rhode island being a new yorker and newport pictured and the smooth hills - not jagged like the rockies -that is why I threw out the catskils 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShaneGreen 131 Posted December 1, 2017 That style steeple is used by a lot of Nordic cultures. We had a strong Norwegian and Swedish population where I grew up and though there weren't any churches like that in the area, I remember seeing them in pictures on their walls. The extremely steep roof is common in those regions too, to shed snow loads. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cal 393 Posted December 2, 2017 So @ShaneGreen, tell us where you grew up... you may be onto something here. Cal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShaneGreen 131 Posted December 5, 2017 Northern Illinois. A little farm town called Seneca. There were a lot of tiny communities nearby with Nordic type names like; Stavanger, Norway, Kinsman, etc. I don't recall any of them actually having churches or steeples like that, though. I saw them in pictures, books and such. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cal 393 Posted December 5, 2017 Thanks, I will definitely get out of the southwest rut and search around the upper midwest. Really appreciate it, Cal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
