Greenrider Tresa · Aug 18 2010, 04:09 PM

P'ter · Aug 18 2010, 05:16 PM

Southern Europe?

semantre · Aug 18 2010, 05:31 PM

Asia?

jube · Aug 18 2010, 05:34 PM

Of Greek / Roman mythology?

Greenrider Tresa · Aug 18 2010, 07:28 PM

P'ter, semantre, and jube: No.

***Hans*** · Aug 19 2010, 02:53 AM

South America?

P'ter · Aug 19 2010, 04:43 AM

Sure looks like Heracles killing Kerebus/Ladon to me.

North Africa?

semantre · Aug 19 2010, 10:09 AM

Northern Europe?

Greenrider Tresa · Aug 19 2010, 03:57 PM

Again, no to all. And I suppose the statue could be modeled on the Greek style, but it's not. I double checked.

jube · Aug 19 2010, 05:49 PM

Well if we're going by continent, that leaves only Australia or Southern Africa?....hmmm....

Renaissance period?

P'ter · Aug 19 2010, 05:52 PM

Or some island somewhere?

Better yet: Scandinavia?

Greenrider Tresa · Aug 19 2010, 07:20 PM

No to all. And depending where you look, there are more than two parts of Europe, so don't be so quick!

mawra · Aug 19 2010, 09:13 PM

Is it from the Norse Gods?

Greenrider Tresa · Aug 19 2010, 10:05 PM

No, Mawa.

***Hans*** · Aug 20 2010, 02:22 AM

Eastern Europe?

P'ter · Aug 20 2010, 04:28 AM

Mittel Europe?

Greenrider Tresa · Aug 20 2010, 03:14 PM

Hans: No P'ter: Ja.
By the way, my German vocabularly just reached 22. I think....haven't tried to count the words in a bit.

semantre · Aug 20 2010, 06:09 PM

Hmmm... is it in a Slavic country?

Greenrider Tresa · Aug 20 2010, 08:17 PM

semantre, no again.

P'ter · Aug 21 2010, 01:50 AM

Your count's higher than my count then.

Let's start this more or less alphabetically ... Austria?

Greenrider Tresa · Aug 21 2010, 01:44 PM

Got it mostly from reading. And considering some childhood favorites included Number the Stars, Sillver Days, and From Anna, alll of which were set around WWII...

Not Austria

P'ter · Aug 22 2010, 05:16 AM

France?

vyon · Aug 22 2010, 06:54 AM

Hungary?

Greenrider Tresa · Aug 22 2010, 02:05 PM

P'ter no, Vyon, yes

semantre · Aug 22 2010, 06:21 PM

Budapest?

Greenrider Tresa · Aug 22 2010, 07:50 PM

semantre, yes.
One correct PM received.

jube · Aug 22 2010, 11:29 PM

Liberty statue?

Guess what, I remember looking for the statue of ANON in a former Witw feature. That was the first one that came up

Greenrider Tresa · Aug 23 2010, 01:10 AM

Lol, now that's an interesting coincidence, jube. And yes.
