    Happy Hunting

    I know how much you like it when I start out with a tight shot on a depot (or such) and let you wonder where in the heck is Darren at now since there is very little to work with. Will good news, I didn't pick the spot, the wife did and I know how much fun you had with her last pick in A003 :D. So, the real question this time is where in the heck is Lisa now.

    The predominant ground colour is Brown, and the trees are pretty bare; so it's late summer through winter (no snow though).
    Black roofs are common - I suggest it's not a desert or anywhere with overly hot summers.
    One round-a-bout, points against the USA. Can't tell if it's drive-on-right though - not enough cars or signposts or markings on intersections to stare at.
    The shadows look fairly long and fairly black; so I'm voting somewhere away from the dotted line. No clues on North or South of the line yet.
    If the first photo of the station/depot wasn't so blurry might be able to tell something from the roof :)
    One abandoned building with no roof bottom right. Hmm

    So I'm still stuck - the world is far too big to try to brute-force this one.

    Found It!

    "you know, I'm really starting to like Northern Poland for this.. they have black roofs, some of the ground is the right colour..."
    "But such a small station, there's no way I can find it without more details"
    "I'll just look around a little more to familiarise my self for when the next clue is posted and then go outside and play with power tools"
    "Oh, you're kidding, right?"

    There's no way it could possibly be 54° 7'57.34"N by 19° 0'47.63"E. [​IMG]

    I mean, that would mean I got an advanced one after only one clue; despite taking over a week to get an intermediate. :)

    Nowy Staw, Poland. North is to the left of the last photo :D
    (and I still can't figure out that round-a-bout)
