Im trying to find a good one on google maps now, I was driving home from North Berwick a few miles from Drem a few months ago and got the most incredible view of Edinburgh where you could see Arthurs seat and the castle perfectly. It looked so good because of the angle of the sun though so I'm not sure it will look as good on street view as it did then. Not sure why you have ruled out the Sahara Desert. This could be some Oasis Town. That could be the very wall that inspired Noel Gallagher to write a song.. Okay. Maybe I went to far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See when you posted the image via google maps, there is a globe at the bottom right that has a red x that is giving your location away is it not? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

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...
