Alamo?

Rizon · 03-23-2010, 11:00 AM

London Bridge?

Autumn · 03-23-2010, 11:02 AM

Definitely European I think. I was going to say Parliament Building, but that building on the right looks like it's ruins, doesn't it?

DaddyTorgo · 03-23-2010, 11:05 AM

i know what that is - i considered it myself before posting nampho

gstelmack · 03-23-2010, 11:07 AM

Moscow, the Kremlin. I think that makes it Red Square in the middle there, right?

Ronnie Dobbs2 · 03-23-2010, 11:08 AM

Apparently the "ruins" are just the demolition of a hotel.

KWhit · 03-23-2010, 11:09 AM

Russia crossed my mind, but I don't know why.

correct. Red Square, the Kremlin, Lenin's Tomb, or St Basils would have been accepted.

All of Russia looks greyish. (Except for St Basil's Cathedral)

gstelmack · 03-23-2010, 11:21 AM

Here we go:

gstelmack · 03-23-2010, 11:22 AM

FWIW, it was the domes in the lower-left fortress (big walled-in triangle are) that got me going.

DaddyTorgo · 03-23-2010, 11:29 AM

those are the nazca lines in peru

death valley?

lordscarlet · 03-23-2010, 11:47 AM

FWIW, that is zoomed out a lot farther than most of these have been.

Ronnie Dobbs2 · 03-23-2010, 11:48 AM

That circle feels like it should be a give away. No hits with particle accelerators that I can see, though.

Is it safe to assume the shadow is merely from the images being taken at different times of day?

Autumn · 03-23-2010, 11:49 AM

Area 51?

Yes. It's basically the edge of two separate satellite photos I believe. It's not a terrain feature or anything.

These guesses are in the correct part of the country, but wrong state(s).

dacman · 03-23-2010, 11:59 AM

Is that circle in the middle the Trinity crater?

Greyroofoo · 03-23-2010, 11:59 AM

Roswell?

wade moore · 03-23-2010, 12:02 PM

I might have it - Las Vegas?

wade moore · 03-23-2010, 12:03 PM

I couldn't be more wrong.

We have a winner! Trinity Test Site in New Mexico.

Unfortunately, I can't get Google Maps to even come up right now (my ISP must be having issues or something) and I need to step AFK for a while, so someone else go if you have something ready.

Mustang · 03-23-2010, 12:19 PM

quick question. How are you guys saving off the google maps???

JeeberD · 03-23-2010, 12:20 PM

PRTSCN button, paste into Paint.NET (or Paint or whatever) for me.

wade moore · 03-23-2010, 12:22 PM

Just cause I have something ready, I'll post.

wade moore · 03-23-2010, 12:22 PM

I'll stall like 90 seconds to make sure someone else isn't hitting most right now.

wade moore · 03-23-2010, 12:24 PM

wade moore · 03-23-2010, 12:25 PM

(I think this may be really easy unfortunately)

Ronnie Dobbs2 · 03-23-2010, 12:26 PM

Fort Sumter
