Observations

As stated in the challenge premise, we need to find where the image was taken. The easiest way to do this would be if we could derive that location from the metadata of the image.

Solution

Using a site like fotoforensics, we can check the approximate GPS location, if the metadata for it exists, which it did in this case, and as we can see here:

We get the coords that we need to solve the challenge, with the following flag:

(29.65, -82.34)
