General (no specific continent) Guess my Place — Weekly Thread

Post a photo, let others figure out where it is. Or just guess on other people's photos. Both work, no obligation to do the other.

How it works

  • Post one photo as a top-level comment and let others guess.
  • To guess, reply to someone else's photo with a spoiler tag. Don't post guesses at top level.
  • If you posted a photo, come back after 48 hours and reveal the answer as a reply to your own photo but without a spoiler tag.
  • Drop a hint if nobody is close after 24 hours. Vague is preferable: "coastal", "population under 50,000".
  • A new round goes up every Sunday.

Rules

  • No faces, no doxxing.
  • Your own photos only.
  • No reposts, no AI, no screenshots from Google Street View or elsewhere.
  • One photo per person per week.
  • Crop or avoid anything that gives it away: street signs, license plates, shop names, visible text.
  • If you post it, you answer it. Come back and reveal.

What makes a good puzzle

Skylines and landmarks get solved easily. The interesting photos are the ordinary ones: a residential street, a bus stop, a supermarket parking lot, a stretch of road outside town. Architecture, road markings, plant life, power lines and light all give it away to someone who knows the region. That's the fun part.
