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 1024pixel 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!

This is a continuation of the original, which can be found here.

It is in England though, correct? I guess I assumed this as it is neither Scotland or Wales.

I don't know what sort of darts you use Derek, but I want some! Absolutely correct - it is Morecambe Bay in Lancashire. It's bed time for me now, but good luck with your next post.

I actually just went up the west shore of England, starting at the Wales border until I wound places that has similar coastal features. The only problem is that on Google Earth, the tides appear to be very very low and make it tough to recognize things on the coastline. Couldn't find a verifying photo either.

Might want to update the rules a bit Tom. 1024 image size and I would vote for a 1 guess until replied to rule. You can always change your guess afterwards in a later post, especially if you have figured it out. Just a suggestion, not sure if everyone agrees or not.


Anywho, here is my next offering. WAIN?

The goal is not to change your subjects, but for the subject to change the photographer.
