i think you're right about vatican city, comparing the map on the vatican web site and the satellite image...

I'm basing my guess on this article. I entered Badaling, Mutianyu, Simatai, Beidaihe and Jiayuguan into Google maps and the last one "Jiayuguan, China" got this result. Regarding Jiayuguan, the article says that "A small restored section of the Wall extends westward from the Fort and ends in the mountains." Based on that, I think the Great Wall can be seen from this satellite image.
Maybe. =)

Ok, the map on the Nasa website called World Wind is pretty interesting. Check it out...

saw the tent thing. it's not in central paris, so it must be the airshow which just ended.
i figured out the 'guess' as algeciras, which was close. do i get props? it's kinda funny to be looking at the swimming pools in people's back yards in southern spain.

Sweet links... I had no idea you could do that! Um... my guess is a small peninsula in Spain (the last link)

yep, close enough. that "???" pic is Gibralter.
i think shadows on these pictures are freaky. kinda ominous. kinda scary.
eiffel tower.
chills.
