Where in the World is Gary? #146

This new series is a throwback to the game, “Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?” I will give a brief description of a place, including its latitude and longitude and several “interesting” facts about the location. I will also try to include a picture or two from my visit to the place. You, the reader, can then hazard a guess to answer the question posed in the game.

I will reveal the correct location on the following day. Hopefully, this type of post will encourage interaction and perhaps stimulate comments. Good Luck!

The answer to yesterday’s place (#145) is Positano, Italy

Roadrunner and Coyote sightings are common here. It was first explored by Coronado in 1541 and displays 200 million years of geologic history. Georgia O’Keefe described it as “filled with dramatic light and color.”
