Hint: Robert Browning wrote a poem that shares a name with this place.
--- ---- ------- --- ---- news from ----- to Aix.
i take it the dashes represent the number of letters in each word...unfortunately, i'm not familiar with this quote nor with browning's poetry, and it's too early to google.
i could take a stab at the words, though
the ____ brought the good news from ____ to Aix?
Hey, Mr. Turtle. It's a poem by Robert Browning.
Another hint. It's in the U.S. <smile>
"Taliesin" Frank Lloyd Wright's Home in Spring Green, Wisconsin?
No, wandel. Another hint. the "h" is silent in Browning's poem, but the natives pronounce it at this location.
No, Mr. Turtle. Locate that poem.
Ghent -- but how do you pronounce the h? the G is a separate syllable? still don't know the state. there is a Ghent kentucky.
Well, mr. turtle, the natives in this state pronounce the "h" but not the rest of the world. Right name; wrong state

Actually, the Belgium town is
- the 'h' has been just "introduced" be some English speaking persons. :wink:
Well, Walter. I am not questioning your acumen, but you are right about the hard "g" sound. Do you know the place of which I speak?
That picture look like almost heaven ......
My word. You would think someone would have gotten this by now.
Come on, Tico. You know the place. Speak up.
unfortunately, i'm not a big John Denver fan, so i didn't get tico's hint, but google "almost heaven" & ghent do return hits. at which point, i found the "country roads" lyrics, which start out
Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River.
Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze.
Country roads, take me home to the place I belong.
West Virginia, mountain momma, take me home, country roads.
so, twil be my honor to post a picture, but allow me a while to come up with an idea.
Good for you, Mr. Turtle. And the exact location is Winterplace, but I'm not picky like some people.
how's this? it's the most exotic place i've visited (so far)
close, but don't think so
