You can see the winners in here and who took them. Most of them don't say where they were taken. Good luck!

There's a lot of construction going on near the quarry so it will probably look similar in a couple of years.

This time was a lot easier! I decided to write some notes to myself so that the details that can trip me up, wouldn't! And just doing it a couple of times works too. I agree about how rewarding it is as well.
