Where are we? (GoogleEarth Quiz)

"Well, duh!" Just pokin' a bit of fun at your profile. /)?

I think the key to finding that would be the white structure along the loop of road in the bottom right...

mrpeachy · 2013-05-25 21:42:47

here is a view of the whole thing, i put the closer view first as you cant see an important detail at this level of magnification

pvsage · 2013-05-25 21:55:00

Just north of the white structure I mentioned (I'm assuming north is up), is that a monument?

looks like a hospital with a crematorium out back set in a national park....

mrpeachy · 2013-05-26 01:39:43

@ pvsage, I havnt been there myself (although seen it from a distance), and the more zoomed in map must have been taken at a different time than this one as it shows earthworks in that location

@wuxmedia, it is all those things ... but not a national "park" as such
and it is a hospital for a specific kind of person

Mental?

wuxmedia · 2013-05-26 07:33:02

Arkham asylum?
I don't know where you live.

mrpeachy · 2013-05-26 15:05:04

this should help

you can use the name of the river for counting or spelling

I'll go with Arlington Cemetery - but I don't think it's right by the river

mrpeachy · 2013-05-26 19:37:29

not Arlington Cemetery
but it is a national cemetery (well national to the US that is), one of the oldest in fact dating back to 1827

I just spent ten minutes scrolling down the river and there's like one farm and a house along its course :-( afaict

mrpeachy · 2013-05-26 20:55:46

the river is the Mississippi, and i live in the crime capital of the US, St Louis Missouri

wuxmedia · 2013-05-27 08:56:24

^ yeah, i did get the river name. according to google maps the missisissipisipi ends at some lake. So as i said, not much inbetween.

At least you have a good baseball team.

So is that Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery in the photo? I didn't realize it was that old.

that is correct, and fitting given that it is memorial day here in the US

Europe meets Asia. It's Aya (or Hagia) Sophia in the troubled city of Istanbul, Turkey.

Space observatories I think, but where? Northern Chile? Keck?
I am in the middle of cooking dinner so someone else has to look them up.

Roetsj · 2013-06-09 17:53:31

Observatories yes, Chile and Keck no. The seeing statistics make it the second best location for optical and infrared astronomy in the Northern Hemisphere.

Mountainous Atlantic islands fed dry winds from Sahara?

How was dinner?

Yes, Serinus canaria

It's the observatory on La Palma. Went for a holiday there a couple of years ago.

Beautiful and stunning scenery.

Roetsj · 2013-06-10 15:34:22

It is La Palma and it is indeed a beautiful place: http://www.iac.es/eno.php?op1=4&op2=10&lang=en
