    Yea it's a tricky one alright

    We could try and guess it though!

    The land looks mountainous, but judging from the picture, more-or-less flat, so possibly just high altitude

    The first thing that comes to my mind is Colorado. Is this right, or even close?

    Also the yellow sign in the picture seems to say 'Shirts'!

    That's it there. It's an interesting-sounding place! Well done BeautifulLoser!

    OK, even though they are at the same time, BeautifulLoser's is first, so his will be answered first
    Then when that is solved, Foxy's picture can be re-put up. The winner of BeautifulLoser's will go after Foxy's picture is solved.
