Brekkie Boy had a great idea in the main cauldron thread:

We really should have a "Spot the Cauldron" competition with a decent overhead shot of the stadium and surrounding areas. We each put our mark on it and closest gets bragging rights.


Therefore, I opened this thread. Here's how we can do it: Download the satellite picture and add your mark where you expect the London cauldron(s) to be, together with your nickname. Then re-upload it on some image sharing website (I used tinypic. com, for adding the nickname I used the font Arial in 9 pt in Microsoft Paint). If you expect the same cauldron location, simply add your nickname behind or below the other(s) but please be careful not to hide any area other members expect as cauldron location with your nickname.

My guess is a barge on the river next to that concrete plate. It could have a telescopic tower on it and be connected to a gas pipe below that plate.

I have to admit, though, that this is a very vague guess -- because meanwhile, I'm actually totally clueless where the cauldron could go.

Have fun!

I believe you have downloaded the smaller version of the picture directly from this thread. Or you re-uploaded it in a smaller version. Anyway, it has a lower resolution now.

You should rather click on the picture in my initial post for displaying the full resolution version, then download that version and mark the cauldron location in that one.

I did download that version - the problem is probably the way I saved it back down again after adding my name? I would imagine if peoplekeep downloading the last one then saving it again in different ways, then it will get worse each time someone does it? I used Digital image pro to open up the downloaded picture and it looked okay when I did it - not sure why the resolution is so different. I'll try again.

LOL - I am confused. Do you agree with the resolution deteriorating each time someone saves the picture or do you agree with where I think the cauldron will be :D
