Hans:No kidding. The ravine, and concrete grass border, are the only way to get this one. I'm not one to like being spoon-fed, but this one will have to be grabbed by a local. I don't see any other clues other than the color of the benches, and possibly the concrete pad that they're on. How about the same view, standing back 10'-20' ?

Because I remember the timing of the posts, I have a pretty good idea what neighborhood it's in but that's all. I was going to search via google street view, but a clue would help.

You know what? Let's just call this last one an example of a rotten tag. For those interested, this strange set of benches was donated by the Rolando Women's Club and it overlooks Clay Park (92115), where the Boo Boulevard Carnival is held each year. I guess it's not that notable and I only remember it since I lived across from that park when I was an undergraduate at SDSU during which I saw it almost daily.

Let's give this another go...

So much for color correcting on the Iphone.

Next tag in the mornin', as to keep this ball a rollin'

Dude - I was hoping that I could point out to the catcher that he left that leaf out!

Hans:So much for color correcting on the Iphone.

What kind of post processing were you trying to do? PS Express (by Photoshop) wprks quite well.

If you're just trying to apply standard color effect filters, Instagram and Hipstamatic work well.

Nice custom crankset!

PS! Did you really Photoshop the street sign?!?
:face-monkey:

Not that you'd be looking for cheap clues, would you?
...Thanks! I'll be drilling the granny gear today. The guys at VeloCult explained why it an be desirable to have a steel one, so I'm keeping it.

No one's gotten Hans' tag yet? What're you guys waiting for me to fully recuperate from being sick or what? ;)

I could say that I am being considerate. I could also say that I have been out of the loop for a while. But in reality, I am not that sure exactly where this is - I would have to go look for it as I am not that familiar with the profile of the skyline, and haven't really had the time to go look.

Hans - you could have taken a group photo!

Yes sir! Back in the game...

Here's the catch:

Heritage Park in Old Town San Diego


Next tag

Thanks for that clarification, Sigurd. I had some time over the past couple of weeks and really wanted to participate but I had absolutely no clue where many of the tags were.

Back to our regular programming...the last tag was at the Mariott Hotel Marquis in downtown. The next time you visit bring a quarter and look for Koi fish food dispenser and feed the fishies.

This Monday the whole country remembers a great man. This PROMENADE was named after him. What great homage it is to remember that man by taking a bike ride here. If you get the two buildings to the left and a portion of the building to the right then you've got it. BONUS: Since I won't be going downtown until Tuesday it would be nice to have photos of the plaques of quotes from this man, if you can find it along the way.

Just to keep the game moving - here's the catch...:

Last tag was at the Childrens Park but I rarely see kids and families there because it has become a safe haven for the homies. In some cities this would be considered a wading area but this area had signs of "No wading allowed."

Next tag
Kung Hei Fat Choi, Kiong Hee Huat Tsai, Kong Xi Fa Tsai means "Congratulations and wishing you prosperity" in the year of the Dragon

Rode by that very place less than an hour before Mark posted it. Looks like afternoon sun, though, so Mark must've been there yesterday afternoon to take the picture - he probably went there straight after having caught the tag at the fountains.

markphilips: In some cities this would be considered a wading area but this area had signs of "No wading allowed."

One more thing I've wondered - why to they shut off the fountains at night? This area would look beautiful with the water all lit up, and nicely tie together the Convention Center, Gaslamp and Ballpark after dark.

Shapps:Out riding and checked too see if the new tag was up and I was a block away from it.

I like looking at that bike. You should have kept it big.

Perhaps those fountains are on a timer. The big fountain near the Science Center runs late in the night except for the last Friday of each month. Go figure.

In Portland, there are several open public places that are wading areas and interactive fountains for small and big kids alike.

It was a fenderrific day!

I took a few photos for the next tag last Saturday but nothing turned out nice except for this one and I had my Brompton with me inside the store. So if forum members would accept this photo as the next tag then they won't have to wait until Tuesday afternoon....So while Nick was deciding on what yummy SCOOP he wanted to savor and which CANDY to spend the spare change he had left...I took a photo of a colorful bling fixie parked near the store. How is that for an eye-candy?

Yeah that bike is hard to miss...

I'm thinking Mark new what I was planning when he saw the route I posted for the taco ride. He did a good job not saying a thing about it to me, or anyone else, ahead of time.
I decided not to do a group shot for the next spot, as to possibly pull more "BSers" into the game. Tomorrow morning I'll post.

It was synchronicity. I didn't see the route and only found out last night. It worked out really well. Several forum members live nearby. I was hoping The Schwinn Lawyer would pick it up with his daughter.

Nice. You took the picture from inside SCOOP.
