I can see across the river can't you?  ;)

One pair to go.

Can we have the photo of Bit#1 back again then please, as only the picture for Bit#20 remains and Tom I just got that one?
So it's Bit #1 Place #11 left but we need the picture!

Thanks

As I recall, Bit #1 was taken from this picture, a 2009 Chrysler Aspen Hybrid

Carnut

Right, thanks.
And don't tell me Picture #11 is Aspen, Colorado?
I'll have to have a look and see how many other Aspens I can find!

The problem is not to find many Aspens, but the right one.  :(

Picture restored.

Aspen, Colorado had already been guessed and eliminated.

It's sad, I know, but spurred on by a determination to crack Place #11, I tried scanning round places with Aspen in their names using Google Maps and Streetview.

I never really expected it to work, but sometimes you just get lucky.  8)

So here it is on Streetview. It's Baird's Tradesmen Museum on Highway 7 at Aspen, Nova Scotia, and it matches Bit #1, the 2009 Chrysler Aspen Hybrid.

Now, that is some fancy sleuthing! That's how I found many of the pictures to use in this puzzle. Nicely done.

I'll update and update points shortly.

Well done, Tom I.
I just wasted hours on Aspens all over the place from California to Canada - but not Nova Scotia!
