It doesn't look like there is any EXIF data in the image, perhaps because it's been opened and saved so many times. If we had the original image, that might shed some light as to where/when it was taken.


Twitter strips EXIF. Most big sites do.


Tineye also shows no hits on that image.

I was half-hoping that this image was somewhere...


why do they strip the EXIF?


i imagine it is to protect the identify and location of people who post images and have no idea about exif/how to strip it.

Also saves us who do know from the hassle of stripping it out on our phones before posting ourselves.
