There's a new series of images at the top of the pages on this site ... how many can you place, or tell me what they are and why you think they may be relevant.   All are pictures I took, the majority in the last few months.

P.S. If you click on an image ... you'll get a larger copy in a new window

Hmm.  By checking all of these images, I reckon there are 60 Shocked - and I have positively identified about 20 of them, with 7 more which I'd have a rather more tenuous stab at. Roll Eyes

For example, this is 43034 'TravelWatch SouthWest' - but I don't know where?

Is there any way for non admins to actually SEE these pictures without having to stay on coffeeshop 24/7 - some of us do have a life (joke) !

Note - I'm sure I won't get anyof them right since I don't live or travel (often) down that way but at least give me a chance of seeing how wrong I can be!

No "special concessions" to admins or moderators - no, there was no way that anyone could see them all at the same time.   They come up randomly.  I wasn't feeling very bright yesterday afternoon, so I undertook a somewhat mindess but fun couple of hours going though the memory card on my camera and taking the opportunity to provide a really wide range (60) pictures for the top of the site so we don't keep seeing the same old thing for a month or two.

There's a proportion that's off the TransWilts - I often connect to all sorts of places. So there are one or two that might be recognisable to you.  Wink   ... and if you want to see them all, I have just added a page at

http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/sixty

Where you can see them all, and I will come back and keep a tally of identified pictures too.

There are indeed 60 ... and, yes, that is "TravelWatch SouthWest" (how on earth did you work that out?  Cheesy ).   Your other posts of Chippenham and Temple Meads are correct, and with the link I've just added in to http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/sixty you'll be able to see them all more easily (and in some cases, in something of a sequence) so that will let you confirm your thoughts on the other 27 ...
