Where is this?
I'm in a small community of a small streamer, he's on vacation rn and sent this photo, telling us to find out where it is, using any means necessary. He's using a VPN so the only way for me to find it is to ask you guys, hope someone will help, and thanks.

Vacation mystery
My mom and I recently came across this picture of my grandparents on vacation. This photo was taken in the 60's or 70's, most likely in the U.S. My grandparents immigrated to the U.S. from Italy, but we don't suspect they were in Italy in this picture based on when the photo was likely taken. My grandfather passed away many years ago, and my grandmother has dementia and doesn't remember where this was. Any ideas would be appreciated!

Which US national park was this photo taken in?
I visited this place as part of a 6+ week road trip of the western US with extended family where we primarily visited national parks. I was 11, and I don't have any documentation of our trip beyond this photo. I would love to know the park that this photo was taken in, and the mountains I'm posing in front of.

Name of the pacific island where Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls Season 1 was filmed
I just can't find it. According to all the sources I could find it's supposed to be in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Panama, but I've looked at each island in Gulf of Panama on Google Maps, but none of them are a match.

Looking for this picture location, it is in Strathcona County, Alberta somewhere, Canada. Friend took a picture of the deer. Remembers there being a road kinda in front of the building / barn in the background.

What city could that be (furniture ad)
The architecture on the left looks North American. The church tower on the right looks like churches we have in Amsterdam. My best guess is therefore somewhere in New England. But it doesn’t look like Boston to me.

I'm trying to find a shipwreck I saw on the Neal password game.
When I first played the neal password game a while ago, It game me a google maps challenge to guess the country from a street view image. The view was of what looked to be a tugboat or tugboat size shipwreck, perfectly on its side in shallow water. It was off the coast of israel, and I remember the only landmark being what looked to be a large white bridge somewhat inland. The boat was about half a mile off the coast, far from the shore but close enough to get a good view of the landscape. I've been searching for "shipwreck israel" in google maps for ages now, and can't find it.

Somewhere in Tuscany?
Hello everyone, trying to realize someone’s childhood dreams. Does anyone know where this is? I believe it’s somewhere in Tuscany, Italy. Where though I can’t pin it. It’s a scene from a movie called only you, I know they go to san Gimignano but this may not be near there. Any help greatly appreciated

Anyone know where this Daniel Ricciardo ad was shot? Either the resort/villa or the mountains he's driving in. Probably somewhere in the US!

Orlando Area Public Dock
I've been scouring Google maps looking for the Orlando, FL area public city park dock in the following video to no avail. I'm usually good at locating these types of things, but this one has eluded me.
Points of interest:
- The host of the video says it is a "city park" dock in the Orlando area.
- Part of the dock has a roof over it as can be seen near the end of the video
- The area under the roof has a wrap around bench
- The dock sections are connected with beams taller than the railing
- The lake does not appear to be a large one
Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Where is this room from Tomodachi Life?
I've been stumped by this interior from the game Tomodachi Life, which is clearly a photo sphere of a real-life location. The streamer Big Yellow recently mentioned wanting to know where this was taken, and I thought I'd rise to the challenge, but the low quality of the images and the lack of streetview/similar data at places where this could be has me turning to you all for help. If anyone has any techniques or thoughts on where it is, please let me know! My best guess is the Swiss prealps or Alps proper, given the appearance of limestone cliffs, wild (feral) horses, and general vibe.
EDIT: After consulting with some Swiss, it looks like it is probably not that country. Looking for any other thoughts!

Splash screen for Microsoft Home in the 90s; is this Hawaii?
I've searched for this one myself quite a bit with Google maps, but not had luck. It looks like Hawaii to me, but I can't find a golf course that looks out over a bay or inlet like that. No particular reason I'm looking, just interested if it can be found!

A photo we believe my great grandad took, he kept it on his wall. We're pretty sure he was in the RAF during WWII and it was taken during that time. Any ideas? Thanks!
