    Don't know about the soil or roofs, but those sure look like citrus groves.

    those roofs have relativly low angles... thus no snow... another incident for a southern (or northern if you are in the southern hemisphere...) area...

    Long, yet relatively narrow lots with most, if not all available space being used productively, not ornamentally as in US rural communities. No apparent lines on the roadways, and all roads appear to be relatively narrow, almost like country lanes. Limited, if any, parking at the facilities (stores?) to the right of the wider roadway, or next to the barns and/or warehouses to the left. No visible parking area at the station.

    All of this leads me to think southern rural Spain or Portugal where walking is more usual due to the cost of fuel, and heavy goods are carried on wagons pulled by tractors, horses, or donkeys. Also, I believe I remember seeing photos of red roofs in travel magazines and National Geographic.......?

    Hey Scott, why do your directions go to the middle of the
    Atlantic Ocean?

    Does the - with the second sequence of numbers mean that
    those are East of GMT? If so, Congratulations!

    Yeah, I was going to ask why your coordinates put one out in the Atlantic Ocean also??

    Me? I was looking at Olive groves on the island of Sicily.

    Well, I just dragged and dropped them into the GE search the first time.
    Then I realized that I had to 'tell' GE it was East of the GMT! Congrats
    again!:thumbs_up:
