Hi All,
We can see in the photo some cloudy day, or just a little bit blue sky with clouds. Next, there is some sea or lake, cars in the parking lot. The photo could have been taken from the road while traveling:

This is OSINT challenge. One of the first steps as an action, could be checking metadata of this file.
You can make this in many ways, ie.: with the [Exiftool](https://github.com/exiftool/exiftool) or https://exifinfo.org/
We’re lucky! Data not erased:

GPS coordinates are a strong ‘handle’ for us.
To convert the given GPS coordinates to a format that can be used with Google Maps and similar services, you need to convert [the degrees, minutes, and seconds (DMS) format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_(angle)) to [decimal degrees (DD)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_degrees). Here’s how you can do it:
Given Coordinates
Latitude: 38 degrees 9' 15.95" S
Longitude: 145 degrees 6' 29.69" E
Conversion Formula
The formula to convert DMS to DD is:
Latitude Conversion
Degrees: 38
Minutes: 9
Seconds: 15.95
Since the latitude is South, it will be negative:
Longitude Conversion
Degrees: 145
Minutes: 6
Seconds: 29.69
Since the longitude is East, it will be positive:
Final Coordinates for Google Maps
Latitude: -38.15443056
Longitude: 145.10824722
Almost the final answer! Source: DownUnderCTF 2024 & Google Maps
Taking into account the perspective, it looks very promising!
The title is a hint to get proper name of this structure (keyword: ramp).
