Loads of small cars, looks very like the Vieux Port in Marseille , but it isn't, not Toulon either.

Somewhere in France.


Edit: it's nice to be nice in Nice.

Someone else can have my go.

Bingo! Just where the Ronin shoot out scene was filmed.

If no one else is going... this one might be a little easy....

Train graveyard in Uyuni, Bolivia

you got it.

how do i strip out usefull info from the pic ?

Tokyo

Best thing to do is download your image to your computer, and upload it to the likes of imgur or similar. If you direct link from a page that provides information on the location, then it's no challenge for those trying to guess. In this case the photo is actually called train graveyard.jpg which is a bit of a giveaway Uploading the pic to imgur (a) breaks the connection between the pic and the host website, and (b) renames the file to a random name - wC3q1Obv.jpg for example.

Additionally, it's better to take a google street view snap if you can, rather than using an image from online. With google image search, it's too easy to drop a photo into it, and get a match to other websites that have used the same photo.

You could get a screenshot of the location (ctrl+prtSc), crop in MS Paint and then re-upload it.

Tokyo

V_Moth

Looks like Russia based on the numberplates. Kazan perhaps?

Tokyo

Afraid not.

ah sure if you lads weren't cheating i wouldn't need that bother

For adding photos, I:
- press the print screen key
- paste into a paint program I have (called GIMP)
- use the crop tool to make it a good fit
- use the paintbrush tool to wipe away some info
- save it as a jpg file
- upload it to a post on boards using the attachments feature
- do a preview on the post to get a link to the photo
- add it as a photo to the post between IMG tags (press the photo button)

You got it! Well done.

cdeb

Sweet!

Next up so -

Keedowah

That is Banff, Canada.... you left in a big clue - want to go again?

cdeb

Hm. Where's the big clue? I didn't think there was anything hugely obvious!

I'll post another one if you tell me where I made a mess of this one.

Keedowah

The name of the shop on the right of the picture - first result in google! ..... or was using google a cheat on my part?!

cdeb

Ah. I thought I'd left Banff in or something duh obvious. Yes, using Google was a cheat on your part!

Let me come back with another so.

cdeb

OK, here we go.

Tokyo

That looks very like Gori, in Georgia.

cdeb

Nope.

(Well, it might look like it, but it isn't it)

Darkglasses

Switzerland maybe? Geneva?

cdeb

Getting closer.

alchemist33

Evian?

Tokyo

Budva, Montenegro

cdeb

Neither. Budva is going the wrong way.

The cranes in the background are a hint in a way - I know when I was in this country, there were some super views, and lots of views with cranes in the way.

clever user name

Luxembourg?

cdeb

Not mountainous enough.

(Luxembourg, that is - this country is mostly mountains)

irish_goat

Looks like Andorra if I'm not mistaken.
