***Where am I now?*** (game) (4)

[Kendoway]

US - Yes.

Washington DC - no.

[Kendoway]

As I said before, my well has run dry so I had to be a bit "creative" with this one.

Think of this like the "Super Macro Guessing Game" we have here on POTN. Here's the full image but with everything else cropped out (thus the horrible image I first posted). If I revealed even a little bit more, the game would be over instantly :)

[RandallC]

:) Well, I'm heading into meetings for the rest of the afternoon and won't be around to answer questions, so I'll turn it back over Jacuff as first runner up.

That's the place! If you're ever in Iceland, you've got to go there. 100-140F water (they've got the hotter areas roped off) and you can swim when its well below freezing!


Over to you!
