Here we go again, "Mark 2". Have fun.

Thanx to Nikita for starting the thread, it's been a laugh.

A quick run down of the rules .. post a pic, we have to guess who, what, or where, etc.

When you think you have the answer, post it, together with a link to a relevent site.

Actually Ridds, I went here, (http://www.nationmaster.com/) and came up with this. (http://www.nationmaster.com/graph-B/geo_are_lan&int=10&id=EUR)


:)

[Riddler]

Oooh, that one's Bookmarked fer sure. :)



Is it in Chile BD ?

[Riddler]

.....BD ?

[Billy_Dean]

Mmmm?


Edit: Sorry misread, no Ridds, not in that country.



:)

[Riddler]

Oh good, cuz that should narrow it down to only about 16,000 mountain pictures to sift through. :P


More sir.....I need more......... help. :)

[Billy_Dean]

Well here's another clue,

http://server4.uploadit.org/files/021203-volcano.jpeg

This place also has volcanos.


:)

[bigboab]

Is it in New Zealand?

[Billy_Dean]

And beautiful beaches ..


@ BB: Yes.


:)

[Billy_Dean]

More clues needed? Ask Ang.

Name the mountain, I'm waiting to have a guess. :rolleyes:



:)

[bigboab]

Is Ang a good cook?

[SniperInTheShadows]

Are the volcano's active or dormant plz? :)

I'm googling like crazy but finding nothing really looking like the area in your pic lol :P

Sniper.

[bigboab]

Try my hint sniper. ;)

[SniperInTheShadows]

I believe i've found it!! LOL :D

Ruapehu (http://www.volcanoworld.org/vwdocs/volc_images/img_ruapehu_crater_lake.html)

Hasn't got the picture you originaly posted, but has the little one you posted! :)

Sniper.

[Billy_Dean]

The volcano in the second pic, which last erupted in 1996, is not a clue to the answer, only to the country.

BB correctly guessed that the country was New Zealand. I need the name of the mountain in the first pic, there is not a big choice, and it is the most famous one in the country.


:)

You have the plant, now the variety.

It's well known, produced in small amounts, most is reserved for local sales.

What gets exported is usually cut with columbian or some other variety.

[NotoriousBIC]

Robusta Coffee?

[balamm]

http://members.shaw.ca/wenpigsfly/smileys/no.gif

Named for a coastal area. think big volcano

[NotoriousBIC]

Hawaiian Kona Coffee?

[balamm]

http://members.shaw.ca/wenpigsfly/smileys/yes.gif

You got it.




Grown only in Kona
Kona is the very special coffee grown on the dark volcanic lava rock slopes of Kona, with enviable consistent quality. Kona coffee is a deliciously rich, medium-bodied and slightly acidic coffee with a heady aroma and complex, winey, spicy taste.

Kona,  on the west coast of Hawaii island (also known as The Big Island), has produced coffee continuously since the early 1800's. The Kona name only applies to beans grown in North and South Kona, and coffee that is grown elsewhere in Hawaii cannot be called Kona coffee.

[NotoriousBIC]

You got me on the run there, 'cause Kona coffee is a variety of the arabica species which is, as you know, the most common coffee in the world.
Then it dawned on me you were looking for the variety and not the species.

What is this construction and where is it located?

[Billy_Dean]

[Riddler]

Um....Ang hon, see above. ;)

:P

edit:... and why are husbands never awake when you want them??? :rolleyes:

[Billy_Dean]

Those big pads around the slewing ring lift up with those hydraulic jacks, the whole thing then moves on the crawler tracks you can just see. What a beast.


:)

[Riddler]
