Hi pj. Good to see you’re still in this game.
Yes, you were spot on with your guesstimation that this puzzle was likely to be in Turkey.
It certainly encouraged me to do some more extensive searches there.

I came in a bit too late- Had lost my bookmarks, and had to doo a bit ‘o googlin’ to find out yer site.

But the Puzzle’s been solved, I see- Turkey, eh?
Not that far off!

Thanks a lot, guys!
Kipitup!

That’s a good find, but I’ve always been thrown by the resolution of #111. Either it is enormous, or it is in a much much higher resolution area than this one. I haven’t found any others so far that you can actually see the red/white bands so clearly on….

Does finding something very similar also count? : 28° 1′55.98″ N, 35°58′15.30″ E

That answer is only partially correct.

Like I said, I have been looking around Turkey for a long time. But Alan’s hints (gobble, Thanksgiving) gave me a kind of boost to do some more thorough and extensive searching. With result:
39 55 45 N, 33 14 53 W Elmadag, Turkey

So ‘gobble up’ is what we have to work with….?
Greedy (Greece), or the sound a turkey makes? That doesn’t change much for me, I’ve beem searching there a lot.

Give thanks that I’ve said as much!

Brad told me this one, but the tower thingie is still just some thingie. No idea what or where.
