Earth Matters

Where on Earth, round 2

August 8th, 2011 by Mike Carlowicz

 

We had fun with last month’s “Where on Earth” mystery, so we thought we’d throw a new image out for your guessing pleasure.

A few hints…

+ German U-boats sank a tug nearby in 1918…

+ The ponds in the image were formed by retreating glaciers…

+ The main waterway in the image is partly man-made…

+ Down the road, a famous stretch of parkland just celebrated its 50th anniversary

We are a bit short on prizes — and federal laws keep us from offering much beyond our admiration. But after all, success is its own reward.

PS (added at 1:30 p.m.) — Well, clearly that was too easy. So let me make it harder – can you find my house in there? Aha!  

ANSWER (added August 23, 2011) = the Cape Cod Canal

    Cape Cod canal, with the Cape on the right, Wareham area on the left, the upper end of Buzzards Bay at lower left. Have sailed the area many times. Lots of trips to and from Marblehead and Boston to the Vineyard and Nantucket.

    To me, it is more complicated to the level of differentiation between sea and land, whcih is which as we know color filteration and image orientation can turn things upside down, let us start with the bottom line, is it real?

    Cape Cod! Good one…

    “Cape Cod Canal area”
    Like Long Island, NY, the entire Cape Cod is another natural gift from retreating glaciers!

  20. Ankit Raghuvanshi says:

    Very simple answer, “I Don’t Know”.

    Cape Cod Canal, Bourne, Barnstable, Massachusetts, United States

    I thought this was a contest, not a guessing game. Where are our answers to be sent? Surely not posted with all this gibberish.
