Good job! I thought that might stump people a little longer, but I was probably too generous with the clues. I don't think you see border crossings like this on our southern side. Farmers can drive their tractors across the border pretty much anywhere from MN to central MT (until you hit the Rockies). In eastern MN you need a canoe to cross the border, and just west of Lake in the Woods the woods are pretty thick.

And yes, SPE definitely gets a thumbs-up for finding the valley in Idaho! I found these while looking for Craters of the Moon in Idaho (Lunar Crater in Nevada was the actual target that time). I didn't think somebody would be able to find it, so that's why I broke rules and posted two aerials.

So if you ever don't need that medical gig, I have a cousin who interprets satellite photos for the CIA, I think she might be able to get you a job there.... :lol:

Finally - One I can identify out of hand Edwards Air Force Base

Only - drat! - I gotta go cook up a landmark and the 2 I had ready to go are on my HOME computer

Well, you guys won't mind if I drop one in a little later on, after I do some work my employers expect out of me from time to time

Darn! I had it figured out, but my internet connection went down, and when I got it back you already posted the answer

 

OK, here we are. Let's try this without any clues to start with ---

Shoot, you beat me to it!

 

I found it in Versailles, France

But I don't know what exactly the place is. Chateau de Versailles perhaps?

Mmmm, cake!

Am I right? If so I'll find the next image...

OK, efusco concurs, it's Versailles, France.

I hope this one hasn't been done already (I haven't gone thru all the pages in this thread). Should be easy...

Weird! PruisChat went dead for about ten minutes. The other internets worked.

Anyways, I guess I'll try another one.

Relating to Boulder Bum's entry: This is where some of her relatives ended up.

 

It's a bridge in London but I can't name it.

If somebody else can name it, go ahead with the next image.

Oh, it's Tower Bridge.

Hang on for next image...
