    Wow. Interesting landscape. Looks almost.. painted..

    I vote England. :)

    (now, to wait a week and see how wrong I am)

    Curved residential roads, grey, no real order, no paint marks - probably not .nz or .us
    Main road is dark with white paint and has a median strip. The cars are just fuzzy blobs, so could be doing anything.
    No sports fields. Trees around some of the fields.

    I'm with ya!

    I'm voting for the metro English Channel area :) It certainly seems to be either England, France, Belgium, or Germany as likely subjects. The question is now....do we have a repeat country? or something new?

    Too hard to tell if right or left sided drivers with the initial pic...that would certainly help narrow down the area.

    Time to go back to work now....nothing like being able to surf at work! :)

    Well, the nearest shades of green I could find in England was south-west by Exeter; and that was none too close. Also the roads and houses don't match.
    Compared to Belgium, where the houses, the roads, the greens and the trees all match sometimes painfully (but not precisely) close to the target.

    So I've looked all over Belgium, to no avail. Germany and France are too big; I'll let someone else look there :D

    Well, I'm impressed. Every time you zoom out, I have to re-evaluate my search area.
    Bottom right corner of the last one are a bunch of low-res pixels; meaning our search area borders on somewhere with less quality Google Earth coverage; while still having that characteristic European Green ground.

    I can't find it around the borders of Germany and Austria, nor Poland...

    gvcborders/Scott: your turn :D

    Well, it's not England or India! That should cut your search area down some ;)

    Good spotting on this one. Guess I get to spend the weekend working on my helix after all!
