Where in Turkey (challenge)

[quartz estuary]

Where was this photo taken? The only acceptable answer is a geographic coordinate.
Last question, how did you find the location?
Please spoiler your answer.

I might have the faith to try and get the perfect coordinates later today but im 90% sure the picture was taken a few kilometers from here:

|| 36°39'25"N 30°28'51"E ||

That's it, just a little off but I validate it, we can't be super precise because ||of the vegetation.||

Thanks yeah its a bit hard || to match the mountain on the right ||.

Here's how I found the location for those having a hard time:

||1. As soon as I saw the image I knew it was a Mediterranean climate (rocky cliff face, trees, color of the boulders and rocks)

2. I started looking at the Turkish Mediterranean coast with headland on Google maps (because of the mass of land you can see in the distance). I soon observed that almost all hills/mountains in that area were covered in either quarries or agricultural landscape, so it seemed I was looking for a very "natural" zone, so mostly forest, on satellite imagery.

3. I dezoomed and looked around for such a zone. I started looking around other bodies of water because I was only finding agricultural or urbanised looking mountains in the Mediterranean.
   But I then managed to spot a almost untouched mountain range near Antalya which I had completely overlooked because of the urban sprawl of Antalya which was nowhere to be seen on the picture.

4. After a quick Google Street view, I matched the land mass in the picture with where I was. I started trying to find the two matching mountains that would work with the image.

5. After some looking around I noted 2 spots where the image could have been taken. I went into Google earth to try and match the view.

6. I had a hard time matching the cliff face on the left and the hill on the right but I finally found a spot that matched the strip of forest on the coast and its orientation between the two mountains in the middle of the picture and got my coordinates.||

If you combine google earth with peakvisor you actually should be able to find it. You try and get a very general location in google earth. Then (if google earth isn’t good enough) you use peakvisor to narrow it down more. Then (if you needed peakvisor) you switch back to google earth and try to identify these trees/those stones on google earth

Takes a bit of practice but, if you spend some time clicking around to match everything up to narrow down the locations, it should get you within a couple metres of the location in most places in my experience

I think in this case, while of course you take all the hills into account. I’d focus particularly on this section in peakvisor. Any significant shift forwards, backwards, or sideways would have a pretty strong effect on what part of this ridgeline in the back is visible between the 2 mountains

took a quick look out of curiosity, but yeah I'll admit the tree quality is horrible. But this should be within 10-25m i think.

sadly the mountains are very jagged (which peakvisor isn't perfect for) so the final alignment that i'd like to do to get it perfectly is impossible

36.6581, 30.4836 should be roughly the coordinates.
