Interesting little quiz here - http://www.guessthespot.com/

I got 10 out of 16 correct. Interestingly the correct ones were all places I've been to

11 out of 16 / 70% World Wise - although I can't say I ever been to any of those places at that altitude - you know?

12 out of 16 for me. I'm a SOX fan so the diamonds were a gimme and as well as the Statue and Pentagon. Pretty cool DaveO thanks.

15 out of 16! Unless Oprah and George trade places!

The two hardest for me were Alamo, been there, knew it was in the middle of the city, but took awhile to notice it in the lower right corner of the picture and due to the photo angle, the leaning tower of Pisa -was a toss up with Getty museum but figured that had more landscaping. I guessed Wrigley- looked the oldest and in regular neighborhood.

It also has a more sophisticated counterpart - the SWAG for those with a modicum of expertise.
