Contest- Guess the location.
Alright guys, hopefully this is a good idea and everyone enjoys it. I'll post a picture of some random location, and you'll guess it. If you get it correct, you post a picture of some random place, and so on and so forth.
Guidelines:
Don't do some random field- unless it's identifiable by some sort of landmark. Don't do your backyard. Try to include some sort of architecture from the region- landmarks,landmarks, landmarks. Have fun with it. No need for exact location--- like oh, this picture was taken at N 30° 36' 0.3379"W 82° 0' 7.0313 or whatever
