Contest #56
Contest #55 Answer: Savannah, Georgia
The great part about letting contestants who win pick the contests, is that I can always distance myself from things when they get hard and come away looking good. This last contest was probably one of the hardest we’ve had here on WOGE. Very few people got it right, and many who did took a long time to find it. So, I just want everyone to know, ACG picked this one, not me!
The answer is, historic downtown Savannah, Georgia. Here is ACG’s rational for picking it “My wife and I visited Savannah, GA about 2 years ago, and were very impressed with the architecture. The small, treed, green squares seen in the image are small parks, around which the fancy houses were built (according to our tour guide). “
If it is a hard one (like this) remember to put a brief description on how you figured it out. It is interesting to know how other people solved it.
Those who completed the march to the sea:
- Andy McConnell
- Aaron Predeek

- Pan
- Skip (Austin, TX)
- Ewen
- Milosh, Serbia

Contest #54 Answer: Varazze, Italy
I have to say, my hat goes off to everyone who go this one right. When ACG sent this, I thought for sure this would be one of the hardest contests we’ve had so far. There are tons of marinas in the world, and I didn’t really see much which set this apart from any of the others. Nonetheless, 15 of you got the right answer: the marina in Varazze, Italy.

Contest #53 Answer: Grand Prismatic Spring, Yellowstone NP
This one seemed to be pretty easy. The colors sort of gave it away as a hot spring, and there are only so many springs of this size and color in the world. Grand Prismatic Spring is the largest hot spring in the US and the third largest hot spring in the world.
Also in the image is the Excelsior geyser, which was also accepted as an answer.

Contest #51 Answer: Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada
Welcome to the first contest of the ACG era! Where has this rode taken us? It appears to the Canadian Rockies. In particular beautiful Banff National Park and Lake Louise. ACG says it is one of his favorite spots and a place he has visited many times.
The building in the image is the Fairmont Lodge, one of the great lodges in the Canadian Rockies.
As a side note, if you submit an answer, try to also put an estimate of how long it took to answer it. I know some you can get almost instantly, and some take hours.
