Everyone correctly identified at least one, but Mike was the only one who nailed them both.<BR/><BR/>One set of clues was, as Mike said, the general landscape, but there were others: which ones could be taken out without altering the narrative and the general image quality (since the impostors were taken with a better camera in 2006.)<BR/><BR/>Yes, ronnie, they're from Ireland. "Pastorale #2" was taken from a dirt road off a back road off the back road from Portumna to Gort in far southern County Galway, and "Upstream view" is the River Boyne, County Meath, taken from the suspension bridge across it from the Newgrange visitors' centre to the megalithic tombs.<BR/><BR/>Ireland qualifies as a State, by the way, because that's how the Irish refer to their nation: "the State," not "the country." That's probably a holdover from "Free State."<BR/><BR/>Thanks for playing!Sherwood Harringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09575868746160608731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7519804707579466907.post-8007884335307326782007-06-24T05:49:00.000-07:002007-06-24T05:49:00.000-07:00Well, just to be different, I'll take Pastoral #2 ...Well, just to be different, I'll take Pastoral #2 and Upstream view," mostly because they don't have foothills in the background.
