ANSWER TO YESTERDAY

1.) Volcano, Hawaii
2.) Hawaii
3.) It's on the east flank of Kilauea
4.) The Volcanic Hazard Zone rating is a 3 out of 9 (1 being most dangerous)

I'm really suprised more of you didn't get this, but a lot of you did.

Here's a wider angle view ;)

The Yellow box is yesterday's challange:

<b><font size="4" color="darkred">August 17, 2005 - Challenge Day 13</font></b>

Here's the Day's image; rated as: Easy
This is one of the easiest yet. I've put a little twist on it, but it's still easy.


<center><img src="http://www.pronetworks.org/main/images/blurb/GC-08-17-05.jpg" border="2"></center>

I am looking for the following (worth 2 total points):
1.) Name of this country or countries?
2.) What continent(s) is this country or countries on?


<b>Hints:</b>
-It can get wet pretty quick here, if the date is right
-If you surf PRO-networks, there's a good chance you have worked with someone from here

<b><font color="red" size="3">Updated - ANSWER:</font></b>
1.) India (Looking South)
2.) Asia

This is the type that is cake on Google Earth, but impossible to guess :confused
I tried to figure out yesterday's, but it was zoomed in too far for Maps. Takes three minutes to load each zoom level. Once I build the new computer and we have the 256k connection, I may be able to participate in the challenge again :()

I must be missing some thing for it to be easy because I have no clue. I don't even know where to look. I feel like a dumb head. :embarrassed: :oops:

Ok the real hint is actually the word "twist"

It's amazing how different some place looks when N isn't North. ;)
