Post by tubeguru »

OK, here we go again with round seven. Where was I when I pressed the shutter button on my camera?

Those chimneys behind that pole look bizarrely wrong in terms of perspective.

Well, that's the whole quiz ruined then. Photo quiz round 12 is cancelled until I learn to use the lens correction filter on Photoshop properly.

Would it surprise you to learn that I was taking the piss? :)

After seeing those bizarre chimney pots, Neil, nothing would surprise me! Anyway, I've made my excellent guess already and I'm confident about this one.

Are we all looking at the same picture? I can't see any chimnies at all... and it would explain why I keep getting these wrong - I see different pictures to everybody else :)

It's the same picture! They're at the top of the photo, to the right of the post in the middle of the picture.

Ah, I think I see... they look more like drainpipes to me than chimneys...

I am a country bumpkin though :) We have PROPER chimneys here ;)

OK, this one was interesting because I have two different answers from all five entries, and I was therefore worried that I may have taken a picture of something that can be found at two adjacent stations.

However, on my way home from work last night I checked both stations and am satisfied that the blue panels with the black bricks round them are only to be found at Northwood Hills station, which is where I took this picture.. The only other answer I've had is Northwood, but whilst that station also has big blue panels, they don't have black bricks round them so far as I can tell.

So before the arguing starts, here's who got it right:

Garion
jbom

And the people who went one stop too far:

Starkey
GoingUnderground
Mitchell&BrownLook

To be fair though it was close.
