The Vale of Kashmir is where?

[Abdul Alhazred]

A brass figamagee with bronze oak leaf palm to whoever identifies this location first.

Hint: It really is called the Vale of Kashmir.

Your question is unclear (what exactly is where ?), and I don't want to start yet another India/Pakistan war by answering.

[Abdul Alhazred]

No war here.

Way off. :cool:

Central Park, New York, New York.

Central Park, New York, New York.

Wrong. But close.

[JoeP]

Ground Zero, New York

no, wait

Vale of Cashmere (sp), Prospect Park, Brooklyn

it's the missing statue that gives it away

I have no idea where it is, but I'd just like to state for the record that I love brick paving in a herringbone pattern.

[JoeP]

More or less than adorable thatched constructions?

(Trivia: there are, or were until now, only 4 threads mentioning "thatched" on this board. I have posted to all of them; in fact I started three of them. Only one is not about said adorable thatched thingy.)

Prospect Park.
And it is the Vale of Cashmere, with a "C", not a "K" if I remember correctly.

edit: Dern, Joe posted it first. Dern you Joe!

Some things just can't be compared. I will say, however, that if you rebricked the pavement in the thatched roof thingy area in a herringbone pattern the adorability would be off the charts.

Joep gets the brass figamagee.

Central Park was a good guess.

Both parks were designed and landscaped by Frederick Law Olmstead and look similar.

Here is your brass figamagee ==>> :david:

I eschew politically incorrect spellings from the 19th century. :cool: :roflmao:

No one thinks it odd that an Brit living in South Africa, who hasn't been to NY since 1988 and never to Brooklyn, got this right first?

I refer you to the pictures earlier in that thread.

I've been to Prospect Park and I wouldn't have guessed it.

I didn't know that about you. That doesn't rate an additional brass figamagee, but you do get two bronze oak leaf palms with yours.

:medal: :medal:

Many is the day that Daddy took Mom and the kids to Prospect Park. The carousel, the zoo, and then the Botanic Gardens across the street from Prospect Park.

Daddy told us to watch for wolves and bears, but we never saw any.

Here is a story about me and Daddy at the zoo, but not Prospect Park:

That area is a secluded area, one that people enter at their own risk. I was one of those daring dumbasses when I was a younger teen. Never scared of anything.

I can't stand the guilt. I didn't "know" this or deduce it from the image. I just looked at the image properties: "http:/www.forgotten-ny.com/STREET%20SCENES/ secretprospect/ppvalecashmere.jpg" and from there it was fairly easy.

I'm keeping the :david: and the :medal: :medal:, though. I said guilt, not remorse.

[godfry n. glad]

Bah.

That's some dumbass New York idea of what the real thing might be. The real thing can be found here (http://northonline.sccd.ctc.edu/christen/India.kashmir.vale.html) .

Man, them doofuses don't even know how to spell Valley or Cashmere.

I thought the correct spelling of that term was "doofii".

[Dingfod]

UR prolly rite, dood!
