Copy my photo - Picture Game Thread

THE BASICS:

The aim of the Motorcycle Tag-O-Rama Game is to reproduce a similar photo of an object or place that can be found in many different locations around the world. Much like a scavenger hunt, examples include specific street signs, a railway crossing with train, yourself at a toll booth with reciept, pizza restraunt, stone or iron bridge etc.... Get creative


RULES:

1. Read the TAG on the most recent photo that was last posted.

1. Find a SIMILAR TAG and reproduce the photo (as best as possible) using that TAG. Take the tag to a new location, get the photo and post it here.

2. Upon posting your new photo with your chosen tag, the tagger is responsible for specifying what it is in the photo that must be reproduced. Be specific, but not so specific that no one else will be able to play because we couldn't find another scooter on barn roof.

* Try to place the tags in interesting locations, objects or places that could probably be found in at least the majority of the planet.

3. Tag must be: Common where anyone can find and duplicate it.

4. The first person to post a found tag gets to place the next tag. If you get a tag, but somebody else posts their picture first, you lose.

5. One tag at a time within thread. File photos are NOT permitted. You gotta ride to play this game.

6. The holder of the tag determines if the tag has been duplicated and acknowledges it by posting on the thread. (Surrendering the Tag)

7. Last but not least, should the tag be soo ridiculous that no one is able to reproduce it, it can be voted down if a majority of the active participants feel necessary.

Remember, the point of this is not to win the game, or get a better picture, the point is the ride. On that note, if someone tags a post office. Rather than get out and ride a block to my local post office, I might ride an hour or so, out to the historic post office a few towns over.... Make it interesting.

(Thanks to the inspiration from other forum games similar to this one elsewhere in the world)

I'm going to start a new thread and post the first picture this weekend. I'm outta town.

I hope we get a lot of participation!

Rustynail, mind if I get it going?

I can start with...a Burgman near an airplane:

[rustynail]

ABSOLUTELY!

I have been busy moving my family and preparing to retire... Let's do it!

[azrider]

A Burgman near an airplane.

Next:
A Burgman in a Harley-Davidson dealership parking lot

[rustynail]

Nice tag!

[rustynail]

Your HD dealership, sir...

[rustynail]

And for the next tag I would like a Burgman by a train...

[azrider]

Did you know that this Saturday, May 12th, is National Train Day?

Next:
A Burgman at a University

[rustynail]

Aww, that's a better train! I tried to get near my engine... The sign behind my bike says something about Norfolk Southern Private Property

[azrider]

My first train pic on the way home was of some freight cars with graffiti all over them. Couldn't bear to post that so I followed the tracks about 10 more miles until I happened upon a freaking train museum with a bunch of engines and old time Santa Fe Railroad coaches. Place was closed for the day but talked to the night watchman and he told me about National Train Day and they were expecting a 1000 people to show up. I may go to it as they are opening up a bunch of coaches and engines to the public that are usually off limits. Your train post was very timely, heh.

[rustynail]

Hey it's the weekend!

Anyone live near a university?

I'm outta town without my bike - I can't play

[paulcbrowne]

Tag!

Here's Shepherd University just down the street from me.

Shepherd Sign.jpg (28.47 KiB) Viewed 1820 times

And a better view of the original building behind the sign.

So, for the next tag, a bike in a cemetery.

Elmwood Cemetery in Shepherdstown is the final resting place for 252 Confederate soldiers, many of whom died during Lee's Maryland Campaign. Wounded Southerners were brought to Shepherdstown during the retreat, and those who died in hospitals there were buried in the local cemetery.

[Jon_C]

Nice tag and I love the history behind it! It makes scooter tag more interesting!

[JC-WB]

I could get interested in this game. I could get a pic of my Burgman in a cemetery, I'll try to do it soon. I ride mine to many cemeteries to take pictures, and usually have a camera with me.

[rustynail]

I know where a civil war cemetery is nearby me. Don't make me go get it!

Any cemetery will suffice, though. Right, paulcbrowne?

[Gbjbany]

Does it have to be in a Cemetery ? I have a picture outside a church Cemetery.

Cemterary In Old Folsom CA

[paulcbrowne]

Would a picture at Costco count as a bike at a zoo?

[rustynail]

Next tag: ZOO!

Thanks Gbjbany

[azrider]

A Burgman visiting the zoo

Next:
A Burgman cooling off at a fountain

[rustynail]

I'm really struggling to think of a fountain near me...

[azrider]

Ask Siri...
Seriously, although I haven't needed to do it yet I've thought about it. You can ask your smartphone or type it in the phone or computer. Water fountain in 'city, state', etc. Like Harley dealers, Zoos, Trains, Airplanes, Parks, you can find anything in a search engine if it doesn't pop in your head right off.

The fountain should be fairly easy. I've snapped a couple of other tags that I didn't post because they might be hard, but not all that difficult, to find in any state, or country.

[Gbjbany]

fountain

Prison

Daboo should be able to do this one !

[Daboo]

Hah! I stopped on the way to church tonight and took a picture of the fountain in a local cemetary, then took a picture of the church. I was actually thinking of a prison, but I won't be there till Sunday night.

Does the county jail count?

BTW, was Johnny Cash there?

I would think a jail should count. A place you sure don't want to spend a night or longer at.

Was going to take a picture of the fountian at our church. Would that have counted as both.

[Daboo]

I decided to go all the way. After all, if you ask the guys inside, a jail is not a close custody prison. So...here's the sign outside the Monroe Correctional Complex leading up to the Washington State Reformatory (WSR) and the Minimum Security Unit. There's actually 5 prisons within the Monroe Correctional Complex.

And here's a picture of the outside of my church. You ought to be able to find a church in your area a lot easier than a prison for the next entry of the Tag-O-Rama!
