"Where is this?" sounds like an interesting part of a community, but I'm having trouble imagining a community forming around just that.
More specifically, I could see this being part of a general puzzles community, or as part of a travel community, or -- with restricted scope -- part of Outdoors. In all of these cases, you would have a community of people who have already gathered for a broader reason, into which this kind of activity fits much the same way that challenges fit on other communities. (Several of our communities have weekly, monthly, or intermittent challenges related to their scopes.) Or, if there were a community for puzzles, this would sit alongside other puzzles that people post.
(I'm aware that Somewhere Else had a puzzles site, but I wasn't active in it and don't know much about it.)
I encourage you to add this aspect to a broader proposal, where I think it would be much more successful.

Outdoors will take these types of questions as long as the pictures are of the outdoors https://outdoors.codidact.com/categories/5/tags/861
Hi Monica. Is this supposed to be your generic answer for garnering feedback, like https://meta.codidact.com/posts/278496#answer-278496? If so, please add me.
Please use this post to indicate your interest in helping to build this community. You can either edit this post (if you have the edit ability on Meta) or comment and someone else will edit it into the post.
Please indicate if you expect to be a casual or more active participant. If you anticipate primarily asking or primarily answering questions, please indicate that. If you have particular expertise, either in the topic as a whole or specific areas, please say so. We're asking these questions so we can get a sense of the community being built and whether there are important gaps.

I support this! I have at least 150 questions. I went through my old pictures and I want to know where many of them were taken! Am I just supposed to share my participation like this? How do we take this forward? What's the next step? - Chgg Clou

My family has lots of old pictures that need to be pin-pointed. I'll definitely ask questions. I can't promise answers though. — DNB

Can you please edit my entry to convey that I have at least 150 questions? I went through my old pictures and I want to know where many of them were taken! I'm stipulating a number so that you know you'll be seeing many questions from me!

How do we take this forward? What's the next step?

Is there an existing community at one of those places that's looking for a new platform? Are there people who are likely to stick around to try to answer these kinds of questions? — Peter Cooper Jr. 5 months ago
On SomeOther site, this is part of Travel. — manassehkatz 5 months ago
I don't see this as being a viable community as a standalone site. What if this were added as a separate category on the existing Travel proposal? — DonielF 5 months ago
What's even the purpose of that site? "I found a random picture of a place on the Internet and now I want to go there"? Decent sources usually list where a photo was taken, by whom. In fact publishing photos on the Internet (or elsewhere) without permission from the photographer is legally questionable. — Lundin 5 months ago
