BTW - I plan to do the 10-a-day today, but probably at lunch time - work has me a bit snowed under right now.

I've never even used google maps before but this seemed like fun so I'm trying now for the first time.

Welcome to our planet. Did Kodos tell you about our friendly board?

MJ4H · 03-24-2010, 09:22 AM

I can't play this from work very well since so many image sites are blocked

Every once in a while one will show up! (use photobucket!!

)

Passacaglia · 03-24-2010, 09:31 AM

Versailles?

JPhillips · 03-24-2010, 09:33 AM

No. It's not in France.

Subby · 03-24-2010, 09:35 AM

Windsor Castle

JPhillips · 03-24-2010, 09:38 AM

It's in a country that borders France.

flere-imsaho · 03-24-2010, 09:43 AM

CERN?

JPhillips · 03-24-2010, 09:45 AM

It was important in the second decade of the nineteenth century.

Passacaglia · 03-24-2010, 09:47 AM

Waterloo?

flere-imsaho · 03-24-2010, 09:47 AM

Waterloo, presumably, then.

ColtCrazy · 03-24-2010, 09:48 AM

Something about the middle open space looks familiar. Is this Waterloo? (the Belgium battlefield) I was there a couple of years ago.

JPhillips · 03-24-2010, 09:48 AM

Correct.

I guess I'm one of the only people around here that wargamed enough to recognize the location.

edit: Pass was first and goes next.

Abe Sargent · 03-24-2010, 09:48 AM

I thin, you got it Passa

ColtCrazy · 03-24-2010, 09:49 AM

good job Passacaglia. That's what I get for giving a long winded response!

Passacaglia · 03-24-2010, 09:50 AM

Okay, how do I make a picture out of google maps?

gstelmack · 03-24-2010, 09:50 AM

PRTSCN, paste into Paint/Paint.NET/whatever.

JPhillips · 03-24-2010, 09:51 AM

Turn labels off in Google Maps.

Screen capture.

Paste and crop in a photo app to just the map image.

Upload to Photobucket.

Copy image location and paste into post.

Passacaglia · 03-24-2010, 09:57 AM

Ronnie Dobbs2 · 03-24-2010, 09:58 AM

nothing to see here.... no need for two pictures.

Passacaglia · 03-24-2010, 09:59 AM

heh, thanks

Passacaglia · 03-24-2010, 10:02 AM

Edited my post to match Ronnie's correction -- I'm obviously a photobucket newb.

BreizhManu · 03-24-2010, 10:04 AM

Old olympic stadium in Athens ?

Subby · 03-24-2010, 10:04 AM

Cemetery bottom left...

MJ4H · 03-24-2010, 10:09 AM

Or not

If that's photobucket I can't see it. Oh well.

edit: ok I worked out a pr@xy solution.

JPhillips · 03-24-2010, 10:12 AM

Looks like it was once an airfield.

BreizhManu · 03-24-2010, 10:12 AM

ok found it it's in Rome : the Circo Massimo

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circus_Maximus

Yep. I would have also accepted Circus Maximus.

Castlerock · 03-24-2010, 10:15 AM

Rome. Ruins near the Colosseum

BreizhManu · 03-24-2010, 10:16 AM

an easy one if you know where to look :

Castlerock · 03-24-2010, 10:17 AM

Bah... The ruins and the cypress trees clued me into Rome. Couldn't remember the name though.

flere-imsaho · 03-24-2010, 10:21 AM

Mont. St. Michel?

KWhit · 03-24-2010, 10:22 AM

Dubai?

BreizhManu · 03-24-2010, 10:22 AM

BreizhManu · 03-24-2010, 10:23 AM

mont st michel

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mont_Saint-Michel

flere-imsaho · 03-24-2010, 10:23 AM

Woo!

Uh-oh, I've got to go find something now....

flere-imsaho · 03-24-2010, 10:39 AM

KWhit · 03-24-2010, 10:42 AM

Oxford College

flere-imsaho · 03-24-2010, 10:43 AM

Close enough. Oxford University/Oxford City Centre.

sooner333 · 03-24-2010, 10:43 AM

Oxford England

sooner333 · 03-24-2010, 10:44 AM

Dola...I knew I didn't have to double-check since I had spent a summer there (just an American program over there, I'm not special), but I wanted to do it anyway and lost out. Despite the college I was at is in the picture, it was the field in the bottom right that gave it away to me.

KWhit · 03-24-2010, 10:50 AM

gstelmack · 03-24-2010, 10:53 AM

MGM Studioss at Disney, it's the Star Wars ride. The AT-AT is just to the right of center.

Subby · 03-24-2010, 10:53 AM

Random guess - Disney Hollywood Studios

KWhit · 03-24-2010, 10:54 AM

I figured it was too obvious, but I thought it was a cool pic.

Subby · 03-24-2010, 10:54 AM

CleBrownsfan · 03-24-2010, 11:00 AM

You guys are pretty amazing at answering these so quickly - that's all...
