Guess the location of the posted picture and WIN
This game is very similar in structure to the super macro guessing game, EXCEPT the photo is opposite in scope. This game requires a post of a landscape/locational style photo.

For example post a picture of a notable bridge, park, etc. Viewers will then guess at the location/identity of the picture. The winner will post the next photo for guessing.

Hints are encouraged to keep interest and the game progressing. Suggested hints may be narrowing in local for example: hemisphere, continent, country, state or providence, city, etc. Or: cold, warm, warmer......

Simple rules:
limit photo size to 800pixel on the long side max

if no response after 12 hours, game is open for anyone to post a new pic

photos should have a reasonable amount of identifiable content. Avoid pictures of the bottom side of a picnic table.

photos should be from a public location. No way can we guess the location of a picture of the inside of a dog house!

Have fun, keep it light!

The first guess.........RIGHT!
I know it was an easy one, at least if you've been there.

So, Jim, you are up for posting a shot! Make it harder than the Hoover Dam!

Sorry folks - you're all in the wrong hemisphere! Try somewhere south of the Equator.

I'm off to bed shortly - I'll check again in the morning to see of you've got any closer.
