ANOTHER IMAGE SEARCH CHALLENGE

[Cramulus]

NEW ROUND

somebody post something damnit!

[Scribbly]

This may be a bit tough... I will be very impressed if anyone cracks it, as I did a couple of basic searches knowing where it actually is, and didn't find it. 

[Cramulus]

It's in Turkey, on the Agean sea. The Balikesir Region....

found that here, by doing a reverse image search

[Cramulus]

I didn't see it immediately on any of these pages

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Aegean_Sea_port_cities_and_towns_in_Turkey

my GUESS is that it's somewhere in Izmir

[Scribbly]

Well, crap!  

That's right, actually. It is Izmir, at least, if our contacts in Turkey at work can be believed.  

Okay, lets try this one then.



HOPEFULLY this will be a bit more challenging.

Edit for non-shitty resolution.

[Cramulus]

ooh, tough one! Not a lot of data to go on...

those little evenly spaced gray pixels .. I feel like that's a clue. Anybody know what that is?

That's a real pretty picture.

I'm having trouble getting a toehold on this image.

I have a feeling that it's originally posted on a tourism site of some sort, sort of like how DS' last image was posted here.

It's fairly lo-res, so it's probably serving marketing purposes, as opposed to being an artistic shot (which I think would be higher res). But that doesn't quite explain the little gray dots. Could it be a stock photo? Maybe not, those usually have a watermark.

I can't see any other really salient details. Nothing jumps out about the color of the water, the mountains, etc, that would lead us closer to the right search string.

The subject of the photo is the river.

It is! Looking at pretty pictures of places is basically the best part of my work.  

... Well, sometimes learning that a couple hundred people read something I wrote is pretty nice, too. But the pretty pictures come up more. Inward investment journalism rarely gains more than about 30 interested parties.

I'm looking at that sandy patch on the grass, and the little blue-gray pond (?) by the edge of the river. Is it possible we're looking at a golf course?

I can confirm that it is not a golf course.

Would you like another hint? I don't think that narrowing down the country is going to make it much easier. It is a mean shot. 

[Dysfunctional Cunt]

I am think New Zealand but I can't pin it down. 

[Scribbly]

It isn't New Zealand I'm afraid.

[Scribbly]

Okay guys, I'm afraid I've got to run from work, and then run Killing Heretics for the God Emperor tonight!

I'll check in before I sleep in approx. seven hours.

Happy hunting!

I believe it is much much larger than that. Those shrubs down by the river are actually trees.
