Killers "Guess the Google sat pic" competition!
 

Well, no need to explain much:

guess what place / monument / mountain / river etc. is shown.

Game runs until next meeting has been fixed, at least 10 rounds.

Questions are allowed and will be answered with 'yes' and 'no' only.

Correct answer gains 5 points, I will award points for partially correct answers, too. Winner drinks on my purse next time we meet [beer1]

Yep, a tough one.....

From the number of busses, either Versailles or Disneyland Paris

EDIT: I just checked and I'm correct. :)

im gonna go ahead and guess disneyland paris!!

and barbu gets 5 points....


next one in a few mins.

Versailles it was. The first feeling I got when I first got there, was "Man this is just like an amusement park entrance."

Which is why I made sure that the fence was still visible....decidedly un-Disney ;)

Next one:

a tale of two cities - which two?

Budapest?

I'm guessing South America?

Kinshasa / Brazzaville :)

wow, beam, good one! And worth 5 points. How did you do this one so fast?


Next one tomorrow.

The broad muddy river feature did it. Skipped the Amazon cause afaik no twin cities there and Congo river is next with that feature.

Nice game btw and if you're ok I can contribute some sat pics as well!

hehe, welcome, beam - the only prob is that you can't get points for you own pics ;)

hehe, you can for mine. Here is an easy one.

Hockenheim?

Nurburgring?

Wow! Actually the GP Strecke bottom left and the Nordschleife along the left, top and right side.

Map of the Nordschleife. Rotate about 30 degrees counterclockwise and it has the same orientation as the sat pic.
