This is probably... ...a very high place, not far from the sea, in an english-speaking country where they drive on the left (and where you can rent that type of camping car). That's all you'll get from me. So basically, dozens of places to check. Uh huh. No thank you. Nice 360 image though.

Obviously there is a way to get to this exact place with the correct keywords, and everything you need to find these keywords appear in the picture.

What is obvious is that the puzzle IS solvable that way. I don't really want you to check for every place like this in the world!

I once again turned around 360°, gathered the necessary keywords and bingo

That's debatable. There are some nice puzzles with obvious keywords. You just want us to try every keyword like this! I see many in this image... So, same difference!

Hint: Keywords: "tower + [construction material of the tower] + [country]" Well, nothing I tried is working, and it's hard to tell the "material" (I touched it but it felt like glass ), but I'm pretty sure that it's possible to find this through a hard search scanning the country and looking for likely spots. I can't to this now but I might try later.

Unfair advantage. You don't know what the tower is made of by any chance?

I say no because I can see exactly what's the material of the tower, and I didn't google it first and then came to that place. I first found that place by randomly browsing GE, then I made sure there is atleast one simple way to google, and I did it that way. And no one gave me clues at that time.

I say no because I can see exactly what's the material of the tower Well, I don't. To me it's a whitish greyish tower that could be made of anything. I will wait for the answer. And I really doubt others just looked at that tower and thought: 1) it must be made of *insert correct answer here* 2) let's google for "tower + material + country (because of the van which btw can be found in three different countries) No, there must be a quicker way. I know "it wouldn't be a puzzle if it was easy", but then please don't say "it's easy" after all! You can't have it both ways.

There are other possible keywords like "lookout tower". Also talking about clues on the image, you can narrow your searches by additional little clues on the image. I for instance did not search for 'concrete' at all

In the "many details" of this 360 view, I chose the ones that describe best what this puzzle felt like to me. What the tower is made of never crossed my mind. Not once. I would never have thought such a tiny "tower" (looks more like a chimney to me, a sculpture maybe) could be made of that. That material is made for big things, buildings, bridges etc. I was in the wrong country the whole time. I thought NZ. Because mountains etc. This country, I'm thinking deserts or beaches, not snowy mountains. Stereotypes. My bad. Other "details" I tried in google, no results. I'll be glad to know what worked. Thanks. I'm basically more angry at myself that anything else.
