johnluke, thanks! (i have no time to write right now an explanation about such puzzles)
so, from johnluke's classic puzzle:
" There has been some talk about "the old days" of F&G recently, not only of places to find but also some "tricks" that were used too, and in fact it's been a while since I've been thinking about this: in the old days, the F&G puzzles were all GE images (satellite), because SV didn't even exist! We would just post a satellite image and an image of the place usually taken from the Internet or sometimes a personal photo, because there was no reverse image searching either! Only keywords. And some puzzles required "thinking out of the box" or looking for the solution hidden carefully by the poster >>in some original way<<. I remember one of those that had me going for a long time, because I didn't understand how others had found it (what else is new!). Until I found it too, and groaned at the solution. "

during your (johnluke's classic) search, you maybe came to this SV!
