The Atheist Blogger

Back on June 29, I posted Guess where I was standing? It was an informal contest aimed at trying to identify where I was standing when I took a photograph. Little did I know that I had unleashed the lion. Adrian Hayter of The Atheist Blogger went all OCD in producing his guess.

My guess (and I worked very hard at this) is Glacier Point: 37°43'44.26"N 119°34'22.78"W

I worked it out by looking where you lived on your blogger profile, then doing a google image search for waterfalls in california. I found one called Upper Yosemite Falls that matched perfectly. I then searched for this in Google Maps, and found a decent place you could take the picture from.

I entered these coords into Google Earth, and recreated the picture just to make sure: http://atheistblogger.com/yosemite.png

I'm 99% sure that is where you were; it was fun working it out though :D

Edit: On second thought, it could also be at Union Point: 37°44'3.73"N 119°35'14.59"W but the elevation seems a tad low.

As promised, I hereby declare Adrian Hayter the winner and encourage everyone to visit his outstanding blog, The Atheist Blogger. While you’re at it, ask him about his meds…

I’ve also added The Atheist Blogger to my list of recommended blogs located in my sidebar. Congratulations Adrian!

I plan a second round of this contest for this evening (or maybe tomorrow morning. So stay tuned.
