LEON
― El Tomboto, Friday, 20 November 2015 19:17 (eight years ago) link
Spain
I was thinking northern spain/basque country but I never would've thought of leon for whatever reason, but it makes sense because it's not quite green enough to be Asturias or Galicia (in my not particularly informed opinion)

Actually that one makes me realize some of Bing's satellite shots seem like they might be hella old
― El Tomboto, Friday, 20 November 2015 21:28 (eight years ago) link
Less old, than taken on a day when the wind blew from China.

An oval dirt racetrack in the middle of a city?

Singapore I think?
― The Male Gaz Coombes (Neil S), Tuesday, 24 November 2015 17:52 (eight years ago) link
Almost thought it was Cincinnati, if Cincinnati's population was about 100 times more dense.
― pplains, Wednesday, 25 November 2015 01:27 (eight years ago) link
They're dense anyway for putting chocolate and cinnamon on their chili, but I meant the other kind of dense.
not singapore (or cincinnati)
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 25 November 2015 01:40 (eight years ago) link
i do like cinnamon in chili though

the tight grid plus oval racetrack is making me think Autódromo but arrrgh which one?
― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 25 November 2015 20:02 (eight years ago) link
oval track could be for horses
― Aimless, Wednesday, 25 November 2015 20:05 (eight years ago) link
Wait, of course you put cinnamon in chill? Chocolate, though, don't know about that.
― Frederik B, Wednesday, 25 November 2015 20:19 (eight years ago) link
I don't think it's for horses as there doesn't appear to be any stabling facilities xp.
Also thinking that's a big river, has to be south america or Asia but I'm struggling.

Buenos Aires has a tight grid and at least three big dirt ovals but is still not the answer. arrrrrrrgh

oh shit forgot that rule sorry! we're running out the door for friendsgiving but I SHALL RETURN

Wow, that is not the Gothenburg I know. Quite funny when you see a picture of a city, and you realize you think you know it but you've only been in one corner of it. But that corner (south and south-west) I know quite well.

You should rotate these to throw off ppl's sense of cardinal direction

― El Tomboto, Friday, 27 November 2015 23:34 (eight years ago) link
also I have thought about the "rotate / skew" option - like when I was failing miserably at finding thessaloniki - and it would just be cruel
I had a hunch Göteborg would be easy for some people but I went with it anyway because frankly solving these is way more fun than watching people guess

OK while looking, I google mapped "Mountain Home AFB" and wow that looks like somebody was playing Go with farms and then dropped an airfield in the middle of the board
― El Tomboto, Saturday, 28 November 2015 01:02 (eight years ago) link
Golf course in northeast says USA but keep reading.
Circular bunker (?) arrangements argue for a military airfield but I just looked at basically every USAF base I can think of and didn't see one that looked exactly like that. On the other hand lack of a half-dozen big gray cargo jets just thinkin baout things argues against. Also, no golf ball antennae or fighters.
Also, looking more closely at the upper right, there's these big green ovals that look frighteningly like cricket fields, and I don't see any baseball diamonds. Shit.
