Hey everyone, yea, I am back. I visited many places this summer and had some new fresh ideas for some puzzles. Let's start with this one

(I obviously can't check every other puzzle that has been made the last month, so I apologize if I do something that was already made)

Puzzle:

Imagine yourself on top of a mountain at dawn. In front of you, facing west, there is a very thick cloud. The sun just started rising behind you, and now you see a breathtaking optical illusion in front of you. Where are you?

It's GE 360 Cities.

Solution:

SPOILER: Click to show

Top of Mount Brocken, in Germany. 51°48′02″N 10°37′02″E

The optical illusion "Brocken Spectre" takes the name from this mountain, as it's very common here to experience this phenomenon.
