Identify the location in the photo for your chance to win a trip to the location of your choice. It’s tempting to pick a distant spot, but I’m kind of conservative. Maybe Detroit. I hear it’s really nice in the fall.

i am not sure where it is though
It’s the U.S.
It’s the Golden Gate Bridge in SF in the U.S.
Thanks so much Roxy!
This week it’s the Chocolate Hills, Philippines
Thanks! I would love to goto the philippines!
Thanks, Rob P! I had no idea.
THanks Rob, my first guess was Malaysia. Close.
My guess for this week is Australia – does anyone else have a different answer because I am not 100% sure?
i would have thought something like africa…but austalia sounds possible too…
something in africa***
Baobab trees are native to Madagascar.
i agree with Frosty..it is MADAGSACAR here’s a photo to compare..it is the same as the one shown in the contest question:

Answer for Week of Nov 29th: Mali
Proof: Google “mali mud mosque”
Frosty, you are to good, thanks for the answer
I’m thinking this weeks answer might be New Zealand. What does everyone else think?
Yes, I would agree based on the first clue.
It’s Champagne Pool at Wai-O-Tapu geothermal area in New Zealand. How I know? They are using shutterstock.com for their photos.
This looks like the photo does it not?

Thanks again frosty, you sure know where to find the pictures for these clues. I’m not so smart with that yet.
Artman, don’t pick on Detroit. Those people live in Mad Max times.
Dec 13: Iguazu Falls. This is a tough one, it’s either in Argentina or Brazil. It’s on both sides.
looks like Iguazu Falls Argentina
The photo is taken from the Brazil side tho.
Wow, looked at pics galore last night-I’m torn,, but did see pics taken from Salto Floriano, Brazil side. Maybe todays clue will give us a better idea
Ok Frosty, national drink seems to be from Brazil. Counting on you to see if Brazil ,really is correct. Thanks
Hey again, Frosty – you must be the same one I hinted the answer to on the Cold-FX Facebook page on Monday – unless there are two Frosties. (Always possible, I suppose – have you been dabbling in cloning research?) The shot has the Devil’s Throat hanging platform in view and the Salto Floriano falls behind it, and therefore could only have been taken on the Brazilian side. If anyone’s still unsure, someone posted a message to Facebook that the Cold-FX guy confirmed was “a clever clue”, which read “I’m loving the contest – this week’s photo is driving me nuts – my clue for all my friends,” i.e. Brazil nuts.
I’m the same Frosty. Good to see u again.
Week of Dec. 20th – India
Yeah, that was an easy one.
Thanks again frosty. I wish us all luck on winning this contest
You might think it was easy but it took me forever to find that place on shutterstock. I could not find the photo they used tho. EPIC FAIL on my part.
you did well frosty
This week’s photo is giving me a hard time. Normally I either recognize the landmark or can find it quickly on Shutterstock or Google Images. Not this time. The architecture of the church looks Protestant, and I could place it in a variety of northern maritime countries: Sweden, Finland, Norway, even Canada. My hunch is Finland. Something about the look of the place. But it’s still just a hunch.
AHA! I couldn’t find it because I left out one of the nordic countries in my search. It’s Denmark.
Good catch. The proof is http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-61823320/stock-photo-marina-and-white-church-in-ronne-bornholm-denmark.html
thx Rachel!i was really having a hard time w/that one…owe ya!
This week’s photo is so easy that I don’t think I need to give the answer. I didn’t even have to search for a photo match – I immediately knew where it was. The area has been in the news and in political spy thriller movies for decades, after all.
Rachel give a mom a hand with this one, or at least tell me how I can go about searching it online since I do not have TV to watch movies or the news. WOuld ppreciate it 😛
OK, how about this:
*raises vodka martini* “Na Zdorovye!
Russia me thinks
Da! That’s a picture of the Kremlin.
You`re a doll, thanks!!
Did anyone get the answer for today’s picture?
Looks like the Transamerica bridge – Panama
Thanks!
another sunny locale…g’day mates!
So, I’m guessing this is Australia!!
Correct.

Perhaps I’ve just been lucky in the last few weeks that they’ve chosen places I recognize, but it seems like this is getting easier as time goes on. That’s the 3rd photo in a row that I’ve recognized immediately without needing to do any search for a picture match.
