Name That Place: Geography Quiz

65

By nj2k9_8

The world is full of natural landscapes and landmarks that are easily identifiable. Almost anyone can view a photograph of the Statue of Liberty and conclude that the picture was taken in New York City. The same holds true for the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Grand Canyon in Arizona. In this quiz I will be choosing photos from my travels to try and stump you. I dont expect this to be easy. You will be given four choices to choose from. Now navigate away from google (otherwise no cheating) and commence.

Correct answers will be listed at the bottom

Never seen a Hub like this before - some of these questions were hard! Bet you get lots of Hubbers copying how you did this.

Last semester the geography department of my college hosted a quiz where they put about 50 photos in a display case and allowed people to take guesses of where the pictures where taken. It was really hard since we had no options to choose from, but it gave me the idea to try out this quiz myself with my own photographs.
