RE: WHERE IS IT WEDNESDAY - Photo Games Week 8, Game 2
Great pic!
Kind of hard guess, i tried to analyze a little, the houses look like the place is more on south, warmer, the roofs "say" that there is not much snow in area (or any), probably near sea. Also the background mountains look like something on Mediterranean. The whole castle look was familiar, but the polygonal tower confused me, AFAIK castles that i've seen in most of Balkans do not have that kind of tower, that eased a little my search.
After around hour of googling stuff that analysis suggested i found the exact fortress, i'm not sure if i'd ruin contest if i say the name of it. But then again i spent good time in research so i'll say it: the picture is taken east of Castle Platamon, Greece .
:)
As a photo star we get to back the people we think have the correct answer and I am backing you. Fun to see people get into the games and really play.
Thanks, i like to play brain teasers of all kinds, i see that as a challenge to myself and it's also fun.
What, @sjarvie5? I thought we had something here and now you go with @gweiss? That hurts my feelings :)
I know it was super tough. You are so great at it and he was probably on the ship! You are astounding that you know where I was standing in the Getty! When you pointed it out I remember taking the picture there. Seriously amazing skills!
no, just a little too much time ;) Will create some posts to teach people how to do it.
@gweiss deserves your support! He put in a lot of work to find this spot.
I just saw that you posted before me exact location; didn't see the post and i read them all, this is the second time i didn't see something, still new to steemit i must say. How did you find the location?
How? I went through @bil.prag's other photos to see if he shared one other shot from this location before. And indeed he did. I got the name of the castle from the name of the folder he put it in.
Ah :) thought maybe some advanced technique picture wise, that was my first plan, but on second thought i tried different approach with my semi-good knowledge of Balkans region and local citadels :) .
damn, probably from flicker :)

This triggered me. And now that I looked it up, I realised you have this exact photo on flickr too ;)
@caseygrimley will not win in all games this week :D
Can't win them all :D
as @r00sj3 and you were in 20 -30 min and did hard work both i think 70-30 would be rightly.
