It looks like it was taken with a quality 90s camera. Idk there’s something about the lighting and low saturation that makes me think, “this hasn’t gone through the ML algorithms phones automatically put on photos taken with them”.

Have you ever played https://www.worldguessr.com/ ? A lot of the guessing has to do with the light. I can sometimes tell Southern France from Florida because one is brighter. It doesn't always work, but sometimes it does.

funny you say that I used to be a massive Geoguessr addict when it was free. And yeah light was very useful. Though I quit after a while because I realised I wasnt truly learning to recognise landscapes just like road infrastructure and what google street view run the photo was from ahah.

I like world guesser because you can play against people on a timer. For me, it was everything combined. I count it as a video game, lol. I play every so often, but not that often anymore.
