Find the album cover location (and win!)

[quizzaciously]

From the T&C's.

The competition prizes are as follows: One winner will receive 2x
tickets to Mark Knopfler’s concert in Los Angeles, USA on 22nd September
2019, or another concert date of equal value. The prize includes economy
flights to and from anywhere in the world and 2 nights hotel accommodation
in Los Angeles (or another concert location of equal value). The prize does
not include ground transport or other expenses in any location.

I like the prize and that's why I've spent a little bit extra time to find the exact spot from which the photo was taken.

758km... could be worse

You live in the US, you can drive there and check

I am 177km off.. bit frustrating..you end up sitting and discovering every damn road around

That's pretty close

Yea.. the smartest thing is to set a radius with the distance and try to get closer... funny thing is... My GF was sitting having a look around, and by just luck we might have found it, there is also connection with a song from this location.. i will try again on next clue, will look around and see if anything is an equal match to the cover...

Without Google Maps and exact distance readings it would be one heck of a competition

There is no radius function on Google Maps. Do you have a tool or site for that? I could'nt find it yet. I have also found a couple of roads who are very close to the cover, but the mountains don't fit

I use this site:
https://www.calcmaps.com/map-radius/

Just try to match that picture with Google Maps, click to put down the pin and draw the radius with the other one

Haha yes those mountains are difficult to match to the cover. Is there a function where you can move the mountains until you are satisfied?

That's a very good tool, I wish I'd had something like that!

By the way, if one of you will find the place, please don't post it there, let people get through their own private investigation.

Yea that sounds good... Well, most of it looks like the cover picture.. except the mountains don't match! I have 2 possible places in the radius, only the mountains that are not right... but this could be so wrong as well, I don't know.. I just found a clear connection with one song so I can't let go of this place, will probably try this with the next clue....

[Dutchessy]

The distance given... Is it by roads, or 1 straight line?

[border_reiver]

How do you log in again after the first guess?

[Darling Pretty]

12 kms
The shit is. I did not exactly save this point in my mind.
So have to wait 2 days and maybe get farther.
Did not think I would have been so close.

[Dutchessy]

The distance seems not in a straight line... I drawed 2 circles with km's and location i got from a fellow seeker. We choose the intersection point, what was still 329 km away...
