Ready to play the Trippy Travel Photo Game? It’s easy! Just…

1. Look at the Photo

Study it carefully…notice the details!

tt-photo-3078999

2. Guess what/where!

Try your best to answer these questions:

What is it? Where was I traveling when I saw it?

What was the purpose of this place or thing?

(If you have no idea, it’s OK to make up silly answers. That’s fun, too!)

3. Check back later!

–Post your guesses here in the Comments Section (tweets don’t count–sorry)

–Keep checking and guessing as the guessing gets good…

-See who won…maybe it will be you!

I will admit that I’ve zoomed in a bit to make this round of the game more challenging. I promise I’ll include other shots (that provide the big picture) once the guesses are in–or if people are stumped.

The prize?

A mention of your name and a link to your site from within this post (which is good for Google/SEO, etc.)

The winners

A tie between Bob Crunch of Bluegreen Communities, with Martha Bergin of Gateway Community College
Location in Phoenix, AZ (@lapinageista on Twitter) as runner-up. When their guesses included forts, sand, etc, they were extremely warm and practically there! I must say that I’m impressed, too, since this was the most difficult round of this game so far (I promise it will be easier next time!) simple-smile-9814315

The answer–Torah Reading Room: Masada, Israel

Masada, which means “fortress” in Hebrew, is located on a cliff overlooking the Dead Sea. It is the site where the Great Jewish Rebellion against Rome took place in 74 CE. According to some sources, as many as 1000 Jewish defenders decided to burn the fortress and end their own lives versus being taken alive. The photo (above) is of the shadows on the sandy floor of the “Torah reading room”. The larger photo below shows the room from a wider perspective.

Can’t get enough?

Here are all of the Trippy Travel photos, guesses and winners–all on one page.

Hi, I'm Lisa...traveler, writer, teacher and chickybus driver. Off-the-beaten-path travel is an exciting way to see the world and to live in the moment—and that's what chickybus was about for many years. The blog was a bus, a vehicle that took readers/riders on various travel journeys...
