This photo is of the SkyWheel ride at Niagara Falls, which takes riders 175 feet above the Falls. A bit surreal, isn’t it? Looks a little bit like a space station on another planet. Or part of a toy, up close or photographed in miniature…
We had a winner (named below) rather quickly this time around (versus the last game, which was super challenging). He followed these steps in order to win…
1. Look at the photo/Study the details
2. Guess what/where!
What is it? Where was I traveling when I saw it? And if you end up guessing both rather quickly, you’ll need to be even more specific re: what it is you’re looking at.
3. Use the clue/s.
Clue 1: This is not off the beaten path. In fact, many tourists see this every year–thousands and thousands, I’m sure.
Clue 2: It is not part of a space station on another planet.
4. Check back later!
–Post your guesses here in the Comments Section (tweets and FB comments don’t count–sorry)
–Keep checking and guessing as the guessing gets good…
–See who won…maybe it will be you!
The prize?
A mention of your name and a link to your site from within this post.
And the winner is…
Jeruen Dery of Memoirs of a Traveling Linguist: Year 8.
I’m not surprised that he won. He’s a regular on this site and plays this game a lot. He’s also a super bright guy who can guess not just the easy photos, but also the trickier ones!
The answer: The SkyWheel at Niagara Falls
I had the opportunity to ride the SkyWheel recently when I visited the Falls, then Toronto. It was fun being up in the gondola, watching the sun set. Here’s another photo from farther away.
