I’m not a tree expert like SLBear but are those baobab trees? Africa/Madagascar?

I’m also not a lawyer but I read it as 24 hours from setting the challenge, rather than answering. What does everyone prefer?

My view on the 24 hour rule is that it starts when the challenge is posted so that everyone gets a chance what ever their timezone. Once 24 hours is up the correct answer can be confirmed as soon as it is posted.
Dixi.

I agree - 24 hours from the first post.

Its not as clear as it could be - I only flag it because in the past I've had to serve bans for not waiting 24 hours t oconfirm even if the challenge ran for several days - one was 18 hours on CHristmas Day...................

"What does everyone prefer?"

Maybe write to the Mods for clarification?

"Yes Mid East
Not in use"

I think its the old "Jerusalem International Airport" north of the city

It opened and was never really used due to arguments over Palestine etc etc - some talk of turning into another settlement?

Qalandia it is - old Jerusalem Airport - see attached
All yours Asturias

Interesting challenge - if you hadn't have said you'd picked it up trawling the previous challenge I'd have been off in the USA I think. But the age of the pic and seeming dereliction or at least lack of attention made a search for abandoned airfields a lot easier.

OH I'm afraid someone else can have a go - I've run out of sheds, trees and fruit.........

Never mind 24 hours, you lot usually get my aerodromes in 24 minutes.
Anyway, (northern) winter is coming…

You have sheds, trees and lamp-posts. No fruit though.

Asturias56 31st Aug 2023 11:12

In the Lower 48?

Lamp posts, eh?

See you tomorrow

thnarg, if you had posted the last picture first, I would have got it in one. Edmonton’s control tower is very distinctive.

Which is why I didn’t, or it really would have taken you 24 minutes!

Anyway the lamp posts were enough for Mr Bear. You have control sir…

Self loading bear 1st Sep 2023 16:31

Thanks Thnarg!
No lamp posts, no trees, no sheds,
That all will make it probably quite easy:
