Yeah, I think half of the elementary school playgrounds I've ever been on has had that stencil painted on it. So I'm hoping it is a famous specific one and the dizzy comment is a hint that I don't get.

Or an athletic field of some sort.

It is certainly a guess.

Probably a good one.

Oh, the hint about "à la carte" is what made me do a google search for the D'oyly Carte Opera Company. What with the Dukes, baronets, princesses and Mandarins all running about.

Yes. Yes it is a hint. Dizzy like a blonde. Of course, if you're not a blonde, you could always try a wig. But what's famous and specific is just out of the picture. If you could pull back the focus, you'd see it.

I'm guessing it was in Vertigo.

Aha, Mission Dolores in San Francisco. Thanks IMDB.

Alex · 03-03-2008, 03:08 PM

Ok, never would have gone there. Dizzy is not a word I associate with blonde.

Ghoulish Delight · 03-03-2008, 03:10 PM

No, but Dizzy is a word associated with Vertigo. And Vertigo is associated with a blonde.

This one's to see if MBC is following this thread:

It's amazing how many cool places I think of are absolutely uninteresting/unrecognizable from the sky.

Ghoulish Delight · 03-03-2008, 04:36 PM

This is a bit of a cheat as it's an uninteresting part of something that would be very recognizable if I had zoomed out just a bit.
