I didn't know where to put it. For me, it kind of fits in a weather-related forum. the plants growing there are related to the climate. If you check out the shadow of the camera, it gives you an idea where it is (northern or southern hemisphere, tropics or high latitudes).
The soils, the landscapes, how the road was built, the warning signs on the roads, erosion patterns, all give clues to climate, geology and other things. Once you figure out which side of the road they drive on, it's a clue. Also whether they do metric or imperial. And what language the signs are in. To me it's fascinating. Sometimes you find a sign that gives an obvious clue once you look it up.
Yes how silly, it gives this message to UK viewers:

1. I had guessed Sweden or Finland in all honesty, though I did move ahead to see a road sign in a Nordic language, thus confirming my first thoughts. I put it in about central Sweden.. it was 116km off. That one was too easy.
2. I guessed Russia, but it was Odessa, Ukraine. Not fair.. too many km off but not enough obvious visual difference. The construction styles and Cyrillic gave it away, though.
3. My guess: Southern Utah... it was southeastern Wyoming.
4. My guess: Finland: it was about 2000m away in Russia. No road signs this time.
5. I see more Cyrillic characters on a rural road sign, so I guessed Russia again and was 533 km away.
