Where On Google Earth?

This was an easy but sad start for this series.
As a long-time Apple user (I bought my first Appe II in 1981 and never changed brand) I couldn’t ignore the passing away of Steve Jobs this week.

The contest is zoomed in on the main entrance of the Apple HQ building at #1 Infinite Loop in Cupertino.

Those who shared my silence

1955-2011

In French Guiana, at the borders of the Marowi (Marowijne) river, lies the village of Saint-Laurent du Maroni, a.k.a ‘Le Petit Paris’. In the centre of the picture you’ll see the ‘Camp de la Transportation’, which was one of the locations where Henri Charrière, ‘Le Papillon’ (Butterfly in French), was held in custody.

His story became famous in 1973 with the making of the movie with the same name, starring Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman.

Those who managed to escape

And this ends the current series. We have two winners: mccrumplair and steve willis, both with full marks (and the right answer for #206) and a very honorable mention for Ben-Greg as runner up who also got contest #206 right.

I will reset the leader board for the next series. Stay tuned.

It only took one butterfly to make this place famous.

In 1963 Alfred Hitchcock made his movie ‘The Birds’. He chose the Bodega Bay in California as his main location. Although most of the shooting was done in a mockup in the English studios, the Tides Wharf & Restaurant was the place where Tippi Hedren found her shelter when the Birds attacked.

This place is a good shelter for aerial attacks

This place became famous thanks to the Sound of Music movie. It is the Benediktinen-Frauenstift Nonnberg (the Nonnberg Nunnery) in Salzburg, Austria.

It is the oldest female convent north of the Alps and te place where Maria Augusta Kutschera was a postulant before she became known as Maria von Trapp.
