Did we ever put in a response time limit for the poster of any of the current pics in question before we move on to another picture? as we could wait some time for a poster of a destination to get back to us for verifications and/or hints.
24 hours? 36 hours? 48 hours?
I am on the other side of the world at the moment so its hard for me ...... but I still thing 24 hours is reasonable.... If I post a picture before I go to bed I check back whilst having breakfast...... otherwise everyone will loose interest very quickly and I personally am loving this thread..... Its adding to my places in the world to visit !!

Reason: spelling !!
Ok, you work in the oil patch. Your profile says you've worked in Minnesota, Houston, Chicago and Oklahoma. And, you say you've worked "nearby" to the picture posted.
The trees in the background look to be northern latitude trees and the birds are probably Pelican's, but not the Brown Pelicans found along the Gulf Coast.
So, that eliminates Houston, Chicago and most likely, Oklahoma too. But, there are no oil fields in Minnesota that I know of. However, North Dakota is "nearby," depending upon your definition of the term, and northern Pelican's DO winter at Chase Lake, ND.
So, my first guess is just that....Chase Lake, ND.

Pelicans usually prefer shallow lakes and ponds---their fishing strategy doesn't work well in swift water. I would be inclined to think either N Minnesota boundary waters or E Washington. If you've narrowed down where he worked, go with Northern Minnesota.
Are you detectives? Some of these answers are insane/incredibly knowledgeable. I honestly look at the picture and have no clue where to start.
I'll try the next picture, maybe I will have more luck with that.
We really need a little more information, but unless we're willing to wait, the game is on pause.
It hasn't yet been 24 hours since dog came around, so my suggestion is that we wait until about 4:30 and post another problem. Then, when dog comes back, we can work on that one too.
ps: Is the time stamp Central time for everyone, or is it just me? In other words, is it the same for everyone or does it translate the time into wherever we are?

Ok, that explains that. However, we'll still all be able to judge when 24 hours have passed.
Thanks.
