    Travel [ap] Where in the world...a google earth game!!

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

    1. Try to find (or guess) what the location/name is in the image.
    2. If you guess correctly it is your go and you will post an image of a location anywhere on Earth for others to solve.
    3. 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.
    4. Save the image to your computer than upload it to a photo hosting site.  

    Where in the world

     

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