Some of these pictures lately are getting very close to Tom's 'pictures of the bottom side of a picnic table' (mentioned in the rules):)

Yes there are picnic tables in it.

This isn't all that hard. Using 3 simple clues from that picture and the state (which you'll have to figure out, as usual), the place comes up on the first page of Google.

Edit: scratch that, you only need two clues from that photo, plus the state, and it still comes up on page one. :rolleyes:

Yeah, isn't that mostly what this game is? Sheesh, why am I taking so much flack over this?? It's a guessing game. I'm sorry I posted a difficult image. Next time I'll post the Space Needle or Colosseum.

No, right state though.

We hope it's a bit more than a guessing game. The best WAINs always involve a bit of detective work, some logic, some intuition and, sometimes, a bit of luck. If were purely a guessing game, I think it would lose its appeal.

Yes, and I did say (in the part of my post you snipped out of the quote) that it was MOSTLY a guessing game. You've gotta guess to narrow it down and use logic. I understand that.

And having said that, there are 2-3 clues in the photo that can help you. How is this any different than a cave painting you posted earlier in the game? Or an obscure statue from inside a building?
