I also thought the forestry didn't look right for Scotland. I zoomed in and saw the Lithuanian flag on the white post, and I thought that they probably wouldn't have a fence on their borders with Poland and Latvia, so I guessed it was more likely to be Russia or Belarus. Looking again, I thought the darker post had a hint of red and green - the colours of Belarus. So I went on Google satellite, turned on streetview, and just looked along the border for a place where a streetview road came near a point in the border where it made a 90 degree turn among woodland. Sensational work. Tbh I think the pic chosen by the OP is the sensational work - just enough clues to make it not-too-difficult to work out, but abstract enough to look much more difficult. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was too late for this one, but I noticed that too and thought it must be either Ushaia or Puenta Arenas. Nothing else big enough where that red dot is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The post nearest has the Lithuanian flag on it, not sure I'd've had the patience to find the exact bit of right-angled border with a parallel road on Google Maps, mind... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there's a need to read the thread before solving the puzzles - that makes it a race rather than a quiz, no? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
