My last From the Air challenge seemed to go over well. Though, I felt that with the added hints it made it a bit easy. And so, my geographically inclined friends, I'm giving you a new challenge albeit one without hints. Enjoy!

#1 - Three Gorges Dam, China
DAMN... very impressed. Tim, I didn't think anyone would get the Three Gorges Dam.

The thing that surprises me about that picture is the color of the water. Maybe it's the haze.
#3 reminds me of a diamond mine, like the Big Hole in Africa ...
Tim- yeah, I think it's attributable to haze. It didn't have the best satellite image. #3 is definitely the Devil's Tower.
I'm surprised no one has gotten #7 yet. Admittedly, #9 is very hard and #10, while one of the biggest landmarks in the world, probably doesn't look like much from the air.

9. Is weird. What's with those waterway cul de sacs? Why would you want them?
10. Its all brown. What is it, made of wood? Famous desert landmark? Hmm.
OK E, only because you're kicking ass at this, I'll give you some hints.
#9, What sort of industrial plant would NEED those waterway cul de sacs. Perhaps for shipping? Perhaps for waste removal?
#10, This isn't in a desert. Rather, it's in a very wet jungle.

UGH!! I can't get #9. Oil Refinery? Saudi Arabia? And #2 is killing me as well.
#2: A meteorological record was witnessed here.
#9: It isn't a factory. Oh, and it's currently abandoned.

Nicely done Camdawgs! Way to win it at the buzzer!
In order to get some feedback, do you guys enjoy these? Should I keep doing them? Do you prefer them with or without hints? Could there be a better method of submitting your answers, rather than writing them in the comments for other people to see?
I like it all as is Echo. Nifty as heck! Like Chopshop but geographic.
I missed the first one, but this a great way to take a fun break from work and play with Google earth. Like starting off without hints, then only add them if needed.
I agree, keep everything as is.
Done, done, and done.
Keep it as you did it today. Clues as needed.
