Reprise of the rules.

The winner of the previous round posts a picture and a question about it. Typically "where.

You may not use "tin eye" or similar reverse image look up sites.

Please do not use EXIF data from the image to help. (note to posters, please remove EXIF data). This can include titles and location data.

Please do not allow 24 hours to pass between clues.

Questions deserve an answer (with the exception, of course, of directly asking for the answer).

We will have to figure out how to deal with winners that go AWOL.

Clues may be text or photographic.

Contestants may use text searches to look for images (in particular images.google.com is allowed to be searched via text searches).

There is no rule about having visited a place. If you have visited a place (or not) and instantly recognize where the picture is, go for it.

If you post a picture of a previously entered place that is easily recognizable as that place, you get to pick a different picture.

Please try to choose a picture and question where it is possible someone else will know or be able to research your answer. For example a picture of someone in your family and asking for the name will be just impossible for anyone else to get.

PM The winner.

It looks like that dam has fish ladders on it, so it's got to be coastal. California

Not a coastal location, but a coastal state maybe, if so that leaves Oregon.

There are a few of lakes up near Klamath Falls and that looks like the outfall from a lake.

So Oregon for the State.

Now to get the area within the state...

A few lakes to look at.

Let's try the area around Albert Lake and see what happens.

There is some hydro activity, but not at that dam.
