I don't live too many hemispheres away from the Osoyoos in the southern Okanagan valley of B.C. but I had never heard of the place. I'm not sure how this ties into the Sonoran Desert of Mexico and Arizona but hey, I don't write these things. I did do a search and learned that the Osoyoos receives more pure sunshine in summer than does Barbados in the Caribbean!

About 77% were able to get this one right and that, again is pretty awesome! I also looked up some fun information (maybe) about a couple of the wrong guesses:

• The Salton Sea is the lowest point in North America
• Lake Havasu is one of the warmest lakes in the world (great for water skiing!)

Here are the brave ones that guessed this round:

   

Our next submission (above) is, geographically speaking, not too far away and Gordon Kennedy writes, "This small North American city has a large population of immigrant Finns." Also, "In the 19th century some famous travelers camped near here, near the mouth of a large river." I'll add that this city also has one of the largest collections of homes registered by the National Historical Society. I've included an example from the web (right) but it shouldn't be a give-away - at least I hope not! So, as usual, we'll ask you, where in the world are these photos from?

Please submit guesses or future submissions* to: cubflounder@gmail.com

Finally, we like to review the rules for submitting photos to this "contest":

1. This must be a real-world photo taken by or of you (no internet photos)
2. Photos may be new or old but should clearly show the subject matter (Scenic vistas or cool architecture are good ideas)
3. You must include a written clue and a sim photo - submit everything to: cubflounder@gmail.com
4. Please give us your name, what continent you are from and the real, correct answer

*We reserve the right to accept or refuse any photo submissions.
