Not very scenic, and not very far from more land, so it can't be for beauty or security reasons.

Rice paddies maybe? Or raising a herd of baby Swamp Things?

Is it The Republic of Elbonia?

Edit: From Wikipedia:

Quote:

The "Tiny East European country of Elbonia." It is an extremely poor, "fourth-world" country that has abandoned Communism. Most of the nation is covered with waist-deep mud, which the residents use to build houses.

That's not quite true. Communism abandoned Elbonia.

I'd say an village in the Amazon area.

The closest guess so far. It IS in the Americas. Mexico.

I'm not going to do the math to convert decimal degrees to minutes/seconds, but that sounds about right.

Did you find it on your own or from the coordinates in the wiki link I posted?

GunMaster357 · 10-24-2011, 08:01 PM

I was off by at least a thousand miles

Yes. I would have barred you from the competition, but I thought that itself would be too big a clue. It's a lovely bridge, I have a couple more that are pretty interesting. I only took drive by shots--actually, I have to credit my girlfriend for this one as I was driving and she's a more talented and experienced photographer than I am. Plus, she was on that side of the car.

glatt · 10-25-2011, 10:01 AM

That's quite a compliment for your girlfriend, because you are no slouch in the photography department.

BigV · 10-25-2011, 10:06 AM

Thank you,

. But seriously, she *can* drive, it was her car after all.

(eta, funny little story... actually. Ima axe her first ... yeah. brb)

It's the Astoria-Megler Bridge. It crosses the Columbia River between Astoria, OR and Point Ellice in Washington.

Correct!

This second shot was taken a minute after the first one. It is a BIG RIVER.

By the way... I'm glad you noted your method for answering this. I'd had the mistaken notion that Google was off limits, especially Google Image search....
