      Biggest losses were Cuba instead of Italy and Virginia instead of Sweden.

        I got really lucky on some of the locations-- in some cases nailing it within about 100 meters. The years-- not so much.

          Ha. That was exactly the same for me. I was thinking Europe, but zoomed in on a ton of large people and thought "That's America" and guessed Portland. Also missed on the year because there were very few cell phones so I thought it would be not long after 2000.

            43,789. Guessed one year bang on. Got all the locations except Slovenia. I thought it was Servbia. Years are still too hard.

            Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

              Does America have homes with grass on the roof? And Maypoles with Swedish flags on top?

                  Hey we are a melting pot. If you told me that was in Duluth, Minnesota, I wouldn't doubt it for a second.

                        Also, anyone else see Midsommar and now get the creeps when they see a Maypole?

                          It's Portland. Who knows what the hell they do there.

                          I thought maybe it was some sort of state park. There is also a chance that I was so focused on the ground that I missed the flag.

                              Lol, I'm out here scrutinizing people's shoes and cell phones to get an accurate date or place. I'm still usually way off on the dates though, so...
