Awesome! Yeah, it's a tiny Portuguese island off Western Africa.

This is easily found.

Where is this?

And what is the tall building?

Attachment 49673

Is that Taipei? That building (Taipei 101) usually looks more jagged on the sides to me.

That is Taipei's skyline, and that is Tapei 101.

Why am I not surprised you're the one who got this? Good job!

:D

Sorries for the big pic, but, I wanted you to be able to see it well.

Now then...Impress me.

Where is this?

Attachment 49680

I'll post the answer tomorrow. Later taters.

Nekoma, North Dakota.

Close enough, literally.

I did, afterall, ask where, and, not what is it.

It's the Stanley R. Mickelsen Safeguard Complex, almost literally across the street from Nekoma, ND. 1.07 miles, to be GooglEarth precise.

I shoulda used it as a What Is This, instead.

Good on ya, Sexo.

How'd you find it, if I may ask?

I'm impressed, btw.

Not impressive.

Those who regularly post these have learned that the more distinctive the landmarks in the photo, the easier it is to locate.

I Googled "windmills pyramid buildings" under images and it came up fairly early in the results. I followed the image-webpage link to here. Then I waited an hour before posting because I didn't want to be mean.

Coolness.

This shouldn't cause any problems...

RAF Fylingdales, Royal Air Force station on Snod Hill in the North York Moors, England?

... and $64,000 is winging its way to you even as I type. :thumb:

I'm retiring from this thread while I'm ahead.

Shit, man, you're on a roll.

You're really going to need more than $64k to retire man.

I'm converting those virtual bucks to Bitcoins: I'm gonna be rich!

w00t!

OK, have a go at this one...

Hell's Half Acre Wyoming.

Dammit. That's another $64,000 I'm out of pocket.

I visited a few years back and it was pretty windy that day. Mind you, it's always windy in Wyoming.

most efficient baseball park I've seen...

No problem, Google took me right to it. It's in Stock Photo. :lol2:

Hey, no cheating! :)
Ok, maybe too difficult, I thought this formation was unique but maybe not - maybe some zoom levels will help a bit

And close....

Is that in Austin? Because I know we have some like that here, but it seems unlikely for you to post a "where is this" from the location listed under your name...

oh hell, if they have them in Austin then there's little hope in finding this unless you're from the town, so the answer is Fort Lauderdale:

https://maps.google.com/maps?q=26.157518,-80.161146

Um yeah, I was just going to say that... really, right on the tip of my keyboard. :lol2:

Is the answer Fort Lauderdale?

Sorry, it's Austin.

Make up your mind.

Now here's a challenge. Italian Astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti posted photographs taken from the space station, describing what and where. This one however nobody seems to remember taking it or where it is. If you can figure it out, this stone fox, Italian Air Force Captain, wants to hear from you. :D

Looking for more shots from her provided the Image of the Day sir...

...and also revealed the answer to this question, which I will not give...

I did a different image search.

Attachment 49981

Found it (by doing a web search and seeing that somebody else found it.)
Attachment 49982

Yes, I hadn't read the comments until UT mentioned he'd found it.
But I was right about stone fox part, plus Air Force Captain means she can take orders from a legitimate source, and astronaut means brains too. :blush:

I saw that she speaks 4-5 languages fluently too. Impressive.

Poor man's Limey.

Aw shucks! :blush:

Where is this?

Attachment 50611

Chartreuse Mountains, France.

Goddamn! What, have you been there or something?

You are correct.

On behalf of DanaC:

Where is this?

Attachment 51728

BTW, we don't know where this is. We're asking you.


See that long straight street that goes to a large silhouetted building? That reminds me of the Arc de Triomphe...

Yeah, I think we can nevermind that shit.

Supposedly, it's Mississauga, ON.

How the fuck?

Perhaps the in the neighborhood of Confederation Parkway, and Curran Place? StreetView and the overhead don't match up here, maybe some construction has taken place between the time of our pic and Google's pics.

StreetView in this vicinity shows a couple buildings with the matching window types. But, I can't seem to find the right viewing angle from them to get those buildings and homes in the lower left of our pic.

I think the homes are on Wallenberg Crescent, between Turnbridge Road, and Parkview Blvd.

Awesome Googlefu, btw, Glatt. How on Earth did you find it?

Dumbass is hanging on the side of the building at the corner of Confederation and Princess Royal.

Google image search and a Reddit thread

And a mere 18 minutes. Glatt is the undisputed champion of this game.

No arguments here.

10 of those minutes I spent trying to find the exact building, but I gave up in frustration. So I consider myself a failure because I couldn't find the building.

With googlefu strong this one.

Where or what is this ?

Looks like a supersized version of the chainsaw bear in my living room.

Not the same bear. Look at the size of the head and the legs.

Yeh, I was kinda half joking.

How can you joke when a family, probably with children, is grieving over the loss of their beloved bear? :haha:
