You're right. I am very confused! This site has some absolutely bizarre features to say the least. I guess I need to chew on your clue for a while. If I could think of how to describe it I am sure my friend google could help.

That sure looks like the Auschwitz gate, but the resolution is poor in that area so it must be one of the other camps - Dachau, Buchenwald, Bergen-Belsen (Anne Frank's prison). I haven't time to check 'em all out, but it's one of the old concentration camps, definitely; the Doc says "no camping" and admonishes us to "concentrate". I'll let someone else claim the prize on this one ---

Buchenwal it is just southeast of the town of Hottelstedt

I'll find a good one and post it in a minute.

Since I am new to this I will post an easy one.

I told you it was an easy one.

Hint: what is the lowest form of Marine life.

Must be a Navy aviator that missed the wires and went overboard, because that's NAS Pensacola, FL

I just snuck a peek here in an off moment and don't have time to hunt down a new landscape - field's open again ---

Naval Aviation Museum to be exact. If nobody jumps in here I will post another after awhile.

 

Here is one.

 

Malibu Peir!

My first visit to this forum, and I just got lucky, I guess. (Recognized it from the curve in the road)

And now for something a bit more dry...

Hate to tell you this but this is a repeat - the Nevada underground nuclear test site.

Looks like I really will have to resurrect the items already used list, a chore I've been putting off but it's only gonna get worse the more I procrastinate. Ah well, civic duty is civic duty. But give me some time to get it together - there're well over two hundred entries thus far.

Meanwhile, try another landscape ---

Sorry, new to the game, I wish we could search within certain threads :-(


Is this new?

Since I think I recognize it I can say yes, it IS new. But I'll have to bow out because I DO recognize it!

I'm pretty sure that's Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant, but I can't find it on the map.

Ok, here it is: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&...p;z=17&om=1

Someone else feel free to post an image.

 

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(airportkid @ Aug 29 2007, 12:05 AM) [snapback]503637[/snapback]</div>

Maybe everyone recognizes it?Perhaps we should amend the "recognize it" rule,so that it applies only to the first few hours after the image is posted.
