I made this quick animated GIF in case you want to show people what you see on your smartphone.

Don't know how you could have figured it out without searching every square inch of Virginia via Google Maps?
It wasn't too hard and required some effort, but only took me 5 minutes. Here's how:
First, the biggest clue is the main street name at the very first few frames of your gif. That there is a total giveaway.
The next biggest clue we have is your Location: right below your avatar.
Punch that street name, city, state right into google.
Click on Maps.
Given the orientation of that main road and the shape of the lake in your animate gif, just scroll to the right along the road since there wasn't much road to the left and then hey!, that vector graphic of the lake looks like the one in the animated gif.
Now click on the Earth icon on the bottom left of the map to switch to satellite view and there you are.
With a little more digging, I can find out more about you all thru the magic of Google. Most people don't realize all the mistakes they make online: Using the same passwords, handles, avatars/pictures everywhere, the posts they make, etc. The online age has made it very easy to be creepy. The trick is to use obfuscation.

Ok, now that it is off topic.
I feel compelled to warn anyone looking for people's address in Virginia that a good number of Virginians are armed...... Best not to go looking for trouble

PA too
Though I'm guessing most folks that would do that are looking for soft trouble. i.e. fraud.
True. I am.
