This is one of the sillier things I've done, but I found it amusing and perhaps you will too.

@mjd This image already has alt-text

The image shows a middle-aged man standing on a sidewalk, giving a thumbs-up gesture with his right hand. He is wearing a light gray t-shirt and glasses with a thin frame. The man has a bald head with some gray hair on the sides and is smiling. In the background, there is a street with a crosswalk, a traffic light, and some buildings, including a stone building with multiple windows. Trees are visible on both sides of the sidewalk, and power lines run across the sky. The sky appears overcast, suggesting a cloudy day. The man's hand shows some freckles and a watch on his left wrist.

@mjd That's very cool and silly, and also I'm proud of myself for picking out the exact corner where you were standing based on the tiny bit of evidence you provided!

@waltman Other than the exact latitude and longitude 😁

@mjd RIght, but I only used that to confirm my hunch. I said to myself, I bet Mark is standing at X, went there on Google Maps, and only then clicked and saw that it was the same latitude and longitude you gave! I only used the layout of the intersection, the few letters of one of the streets that was visible, and the background of your selfie!

@waltman I was impressed and pleased, but I couldn't resist that reply.

Sorry! I hereby award you three Geek Points.

@mjd you are right, that was amusing!

@mjd @Kiloku I love it, here are me and my kid in 2014, at parallel -30,000
