Where in the world...a google earth game!!

aesman — Sat, 22 Sep 2007 16:06:47 GMT

Welcome to the Google Earth Game - Where in the World!

Try to find (or guess) what the location/name is in the image.
If you guess correctly it is your go and you will post an image of a location anywhere on Earth for others to solve.
It is the norm to use images taken directly from Google Earth (File>Save>Save Image), but if the requirements to run Google Earth are to demanding, then you can do an easy Google search of a particular area and find an aerial view to post.
Save the image to your computer than upload it to a photo hosting site.

If it is a hard image, please provide some hints if nobody answers right away.

The goal of this game is simply to post something you've read or seen somewhere that seems so obvious that you wonder why it was written in the first place. Me first.

The EggXpert Prize Box Disclaimer

The intent of the EggXpert Prize Box is to provide the EggXpert community with a fun and intriguing way to earn real prizes. The “contest” is managed, judged, and funded solely by myself (Dave Ingalls) and is not sponsored by, endorsed, funded, or affiliated with Newegg or EggXpert in any way.

The rules governing the Prize Box are simple. A puzzle is posted on the thread at least once a week (pending the solving of the previous puzzle). Players (members of the EggXpert community) may submit up to two guesses to the answer of the current puzzle per day, and I, at my earliest convenience, will inform them if their guesses are correct or not. Anyone may submit a guess in the Prize Box at any time (following the two guesses per day guideline) – no “entry” is required. Upon someone guessing the correct answer to the current puzzle, I will inform them that they may select a number from the Prize Box.

The Prize Box itself is a graphic, a grid composed of numbered squares. “Behind” the numbered squares are several types of other smaller graphics with various significances. When a player selects a number from the Prize Box, that number becomes “uncovered” (that number is no longer selectable), and whatever is “behind” that number is “collected” by the player.

Once the player has “collected” a sufficient number of appropriate graphics, he/she is allowed to pick a prize (value determined by the graphics the player has “collected”, not to exceed $50.00 US before tax and shipping) from Newegg.com, which will be purchased and shipped to the player by myself using my own personal funds.
