    Close, but not close enough, unless you want the exact number of the cave, there are other cave complexes but I could only guess which one, so I'll let someone else try.

    OK, so here's a less easy one. In fact, you'll only have to guess the country on this one (and state/region/county if you know). If it's too difficult, I'll get a new one. Hint: it's really not a famous location, but it's near two locations that are well-known in the country (one) and among palaeontologists (the other).

    The guage of the rails make it seem like some Asian country, furthermore, this country is not poor guessing by the fact that they have lights and some wires even in such an out of the way location, i am tempted to say China but then the trees seem to be sub tropical so my wild guess is India ????

    Heh, I thought of that myself, but it's neither of these (by the way, China also has a broad subtropical zone and even a narrow tropical one, so judging by vegetation type can be deceptive).

    Some grafitti in latin characters. Vegetation suggests continental but not boreal. Absence of overhead power lines. Could even be north america, but but something about the construction of the platform makes me think Eastern Europe. Ok, let's just guess then. Lithuania?

    Smart guess (you're thinking along the right lines), but wrong country.
    Traffic in this thread is pretty slow, but still... should I reveal it and move on?

    I could guess another 12 times or so with the same reasoning Probably better if I don't.

    Well, maybe not that well known.
    If I reveal it (been over a week), do I have to post another pic instead?
