Clay worker statues. Wheal Martyn Museum ?.

Correct --- probably too easy -- but he sure scares the heck out of unsuspecting passersby when he reaches out to shake hands.

Living statues? Has anyone walked through Trafalgar Square recently? I do so once a month for a nautical reunion and the first time I saw them about 3, maybe 4, years ago I thought they were quite good but now when walking from one side towards Pall Mall there must be about ten of them and they are now just more tourist tat. I suppose the response is 'got to earn a living somehow' and if people want to put money in the box then that is their choice. Not mine though.

I saw some "living statues" in San Sebastian, and one of them was portraying the Statue of Liberty. She looked very authentic with very green make - up. All was going well until a young boy crept up behind her and pinched her bum.

There is often one in the city centre of York, very well done......once a lady dressed in ballet gear and standing on one foot,difficult...I have problems standing on two.

Cueball44,

Yes correct - The Clay workers. Sorry to hear they had been vandalized.

More about the theft/damage of the statues here:

https://www.wheal-martyn.com/2017/04...geted-thieves/

There is a slight connection between these statues and 'living statues' - In both cases real clothing treated to remain rigid has been used.

Yes that's very sad.

Two more:

1. Where is it and why has it dual use.

2. Where is it and who's house is it.

Also still no answer to photo 1. in post 142.

Neville

Can't do anything with the old one...but have been there on both the new ones:-
The Hunter is at the entrance to RAF Valley on Anglesey.
The House is Sandringham and HM The Queen wasn't in residence when the picture was taken.

I was thinking the upper reaches of Milford Haven but it doesn't look right

Erimus,

Correct - Valley also know as commercial airport - Anglesey Airport.

Yes HM not at home to entertain us that day!

Davidjm - Sorry that's not it.

Neville

I will try and make them harder!

1. What flag or who's flag is the one with the Union Jack in the corner.

2. Where is this.

Neville

#142. Did you capture the first image using Google Maps ?

#163
No 1 - Flags of US States.
The one with the Union flag in the canton is Hawaii. (North Sandwich Islands). - 8 stripes for eight islands.


No 2 Looks something like Charlestown in Cornwall - but not 100% certain.

It's name and location?

There is a load of choice and they tend to be different each year...
Probably either Alaska or Chile - I would opt for Alaska, but don't know which glacier.

Cueball,

No not Google - one of my own photos.

Malcolm,

Yes both correct.

I am not taxing you all enough.

Tom,

Your Glacier - Argentina?

Neville

Glacier Bay Alaska......was there on my 70th eons ago.

Well no one has come up with and answer for my No1 in post 142. Clue - IKB.

Two new ones.

Where are they please.

The third one is just for amusement.

Neville

First one. River Avon from the Clifton Suspension Bridge ?

I thought I had ansered this but just to be sure -- Alaska - Glacier Bay the Marjorie Glacier.

Missed the Alaska one for some reason...have an almost identical picture taken from Diamond Princess 5 years ago.

Cueball44,

No sorry not that bridge.
