Might want to change the pic's file name.

Yep, I cheated and found it easily.

LOL! My bad...so you know it's New Haven, CT...so you're up!

 

[kh54s10]

But I didn't guess. So it should be MaxStout's turn.

I sometimes save the pic to my desktop, so I can zoom in and look at detail. That's how I spotted the filename.

Since I knew, I recused myself. So I'll pass this round (and I don't have a pic handy at the moment).

How about @jdauria doing another one?

 

[kh54s10]

Okay, I have a picture. It is not a town or city. Fairly famous.

That's it guidz. You're up. Grandfather mountain is one of my favorite places. Do you know why I said it's fairly famous?

 

[guidz]

That section of the road was used in filming Forrest Gump during his running period. Though from a different angle.

Not the worlds most remote city

 

[beermanpete]

Rio de Janeiro?

 

[Pkrd]

Nope

 

[Boomer]

You're in New Zealand - I don't think that's a city in NZ; but, I'd guess in Australia. Perth?

 

[MaxStout]

Melbourne?

 

[Pkrd]

You're in New Zealand - I don't think that's a city in NZ; but, I'd guess in Australia. Perth?

Perth it is.

If you use 1 million population as the criterion, the most remote city in the world is actually Auckland, New Zealand. Auckland is 2,153km from Sydney, and with no other million cities in New Zealand, Sydney is the closest to Auckland. This is 49km further than Adelaide to Perth.
