Here we are again, guessing where in the world Hubris (in sticker form) might be. In this first photo, you see that he’s on a traffic barricade. Carefully study the construction of the barricade. Look closely at the plants behind, and at the landforms. Hmmmmmmmm.
In the next shot, the Team Hubris Member has widened the field a bit… Oh, the telltale concrete, the dead give-away of the power and telephone lines. There’s only ONE place on Earth where you will find guy-wires attached in just that way to a pole. Wait! The wood that pole is made of! Ah-HA!! Now, I have… nothin’.
Okay, the THIRD photo has a particular landform in it. Geologists! This particular structure is called….? Riiiiiight. So. WHERE IS HUBRIS??
The Nippleback Mountains, in Kentucky? That mountain looks like a boob.
I was thinking Pilot Mountain, NC, but I’m not sure…
Taiwan somewhere.
Is that mist, or dust all over everything?
An excellent question! The Team Hubris Member (who shall remain nameless so far) should email me the answer to that. I think, though, it’s safe to tell you guys that it’s not Kentucky, NC or Taiwan.

Assuming that’s mist, then the NC answer’s not far off. But if it’s dust in the photo… what would THAT mean? What kind of dust?
It was taken September 7, 2012, around 2:47pm.
It was taken with Canon PowerShot SX230 HS.
The flash was off. ISO 400.
Pinnacle Mountains, AK?
Nice pics!
Very good guess. But no.
.
I have another clue, though. It’s not exactly mist, as there is some rain in it, but that’s not all. It’s not exactly dust, either, depending on what you consider dust. It’s
Are you ready for this?
Ash.
Now. Where would you like to guess?
Hawaii.
If it’s ash, it’s just about the right timeframe to be Chinandega, Nicaragua.
Guatemala Fire Volcano.
All very good guesses. Extremely good answers. Wrong so far, but lovely, good, intelligent, well-reasoned answers. I’m very impressed. And also grateful to WON for not instantly knowing the answer based on… whatever uncanny mutant superpower he has for finding things on the in’ernets. Shall we continue around the ring of fire, or are there other volcanos to consider?
Man, I love this game. I’d be crap playing it, but I love watching.
FUEGO, Guatemala

So, can we say it’s not in North America?
Yes, I believe it’s time to say that the photos are NOT from anywhere in North America. Final guesses anyone, before the big Reveal?
Apparently not.
