where is this? (place not country)

what year?

what is happening?

(an occasional series from whoever wants to produce interesting or unusual pictures)

Based on the cloud of smoke in the background, I'd guess Pearl Harbour '41?

Guess it is an early nuclear test around the end of the second world war.  Looks like the US, maybe an army base of some kind?

Edit.  Just noticed the las vegas news bureau.  Is it in Nevada and that is an early vegas resort?

Edit again.  Those cars look like they are from the 50s/60s, so a bit later.

Vegas yes, can't quite make out the name of the resort

Atomic test 75 miles away

bit off on the year...

Those wagons in the distance suggest to me this is a movie studio and it's a lot closer to present day than it first appears?

Looks like Last Frontier on my phone.

1953 is the year

New york

if thats the empire state that went up in the early 30s so i guess for this one something like 1933-34?

guess the year

name the station

1940 Waterloo?

Very good, year is nearly correct. These guys are construction workers. But what are they constructing?

Chrysler building?

Bristol 1936  :)

It's good, but it's not right :p

Clue: It's a building that currently stands as the 14th highest in the New Yourk skyline.

dirty cheat :-)

Dock a mark for the lack of Temple Meads? 

What is going on?  Looks like so many other stations to me. 

Kids evacuated?

Oh no too early

This was 1932,the construction of the RCA building, now known as the Comcast building.

'lunch on top of a skyscrapper' was taken during the construction of this same building. The picture (below) is now arguably more famous than the building itself.

Another...

The year, the place and the significance?

Iranian revolution 1979? Women demonstrating against religious laws forcing them to cover up?

Too good, I'll have to try harder

As soon as I saw the pic, I had a moment of clarity. It happens,not often and not about importan things in life, but the answer just jumped into my head.

It looks like the paris metro.

Is it hercule poirot investigating the case of the wild 2 headed killer beastie?  Here he has just located the beastie and is hoping the beastie leads him back to his owner. 

He really needed a few rozzers to make sure the crowd stayed back.  That fella holding the coat is about to lose his entire left foot.  It looks really gruesome.  I'd avoid googling it if I were you.

Injury lawyers pour toi sorted him out with just a few croissants compensation.  Different times back then.

These are getting a bit too easy, maybe try harder with the next one.

That looks like talk show host Conan O'Brien sarcastically celebrating something, I'd say around 2014.

Salvador Dali kept pet ant eaters (there was some reason why, think he was fascinated by them)

lived in Paris

guess late 1960s?

Bang on, 69. I liked the concept of this thread Tighty so apologies for any de raiment, I'll stay away if it encourages moar posters. Ta

no post them please. the more successful threads, thread starters, posters the better. I am not in a position to quibble with anyone posting anything!

Applause emoticon. Tuesday.

where (country) and when, and after what event?

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CsWWyiAXgAAvG0d.jpg)

In the US while the Nazis were in power but before the war so mid-late 30s

Blank on the event

Hindenburg? Guessing they held some kind of memorial in US before shipping them back to Germany. Or else a mass funeral in Germany after transporting.

Year would be.....er....pre-war.

yup Hindenburg 1937

german fatalities in a US service

Name, place & description.

Place, year and news story?

(http://i1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee509/Nakor99/Post.jpg)

can't really answer the questions, but that wouldn't be a postman would it?

it wouldn't be some sort of evacuation of kids, maybe WW1 time so mid 1910s?

picture of sky bet odds compiler after 500-1 requestabet comes in a few days ago, etched in cheese?

Isn't it a myth though? I've seen this shot before, but I'm sure I have read that it was fake.

The last remnant of Hinkley Point C, someones back garden, reactor crust

where and what?

Luton vs Millwall?

no. everyone knows of this recently empty place, many will have been there.

Upton Park?

correct

they blew up a corner of the stadium for a film released next year starring Pierce Brosnan and Dave Batista, terrrorism at a sporting event etc

The year and the identity of the man in the middle of the carriage?

the man looking at us?

Czar Nicholas in the 1870s?

I can see why you say him (and it could be him), but I would have said George V. Pretty sure it's one of those two.

Much later than 1870s, though. Based on him dying in 1936, this could be around 1920 or maybe a bit earlier (definitely earlier if it's Nicholas, lol).

George V in the early 1920s it is

Are you sure?

Bloody hipsters.

Painting right?

Who are these? What are they doing?

(http://ow.ly/5cQi304Cqba)

Men wearing parachutes because....?

Is that a compass?  Some kind of extreme orienteering/ marathon running and the outfits to keep warm after they finish.

Good shout.

I think this is very gettable with a couple of hints.

Doobs is right.

Pilots/Aircrew survival exercise?

You're both heading very fast in the right direction. It is survival in Nevada desert. But who?

 Top Gun stylee fighter pilots?

2nd from the left looks like Neil Armstrong?

You've basically got it. Almost.

They are all test pilots.............

Astronaut survival training?

Yep.

Frank Borman, Neil Armstrong, John Young, Deke Slayton.

1964.

Yeah. Too easy.

What is this item, & for what purpose is it used?

sex swing for pigs

Pig/Bull/Horse fake stud, to aid seamen collection?

Blimey, I'd best not ask what you guys do in your spare time. Amazed you got it so quickly.  You live out in the Fens, right?

It's a dummy sow.

Here's one in action. Look away now if you are a bit on the prudish side.

Alright I'll ask the obvious question that I'd rather not google

Why do farmers need to collect pig semen?

It's far cheaper, efficient and cost effective to export frozen semen than to export live boars.

It's quite a big business, apparently. Quite an interesting piece about it on Farming Today this morning.

How many more times - the fens are over there inhabited by strange folk.  They grow crops and huddle together for warmth from the incessant winds and long winters nights.
We are East Anglian, farmers of livestock, brewers of beer, we have towns and cities, A Roads and 2 mb broadband.  Completely different places.
