barracuda Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 These all look like the Pacific Northwest. I'm going to guess Seattle for #1. I'll have to think about the rest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bachanon Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 there may be very few who could guess the locations. it will be fun to see if anyone recognizes the more obscure locations. if necessary, i will add clues that can be researched.

bachanon Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 It would be fun if they were Houston locations...that is a good idea for a future contest. i just happened to be on vacation this past week and thought about thehaif.com when i came across an architecture book i'm excited about. the contest was inspired by my vacation and the book i found.

bachanon Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 RGR must have been on an alaskan inside passage cruise before. Congrats RGR!! PM your shipping address. I will be sending a book about Frank Gehry's Experience Music Project in Seattle WA. I loved it and hope you will too. Anyone with pointers on how to make a contest more difficult, let me know.
