I would say this applies to most mediterranean cities...anyway, I'm going to guess Santiago de Compestala.

sam_mom1

NOPE!!

It takes too long. Who has another picture?

what takes too long? i thought the point was that you had to go find out where the pic was taken?

positron

Madrid or Granada? Or Seville!

PS: I think ThOnda meant (correct me if I am wrong) that almost everyone (regulars) have had a go, and they were all wrong. There's no point to wait until someone 'google's for it, because then there's no fun in the game, everyone would find the answer eventually..!

Next one (an easy one), if I may....!

joolsveer

Belfast?

positron

Wrong city, joolsveer! (unless the same mural is in Belfast as well, I don't know.. )

ThOnda

Derry?

Exactly. It was already few days without encouragement and hints. Sorry for that, the thread must be alive to be alive.

positron

Derry is right. You are next.

ThOnda

I have to pass to somebody else this opportunity, because everybody knows what place is this:

It's Kylemore Abbey in Co Galway, isn't it?

Morrisseeee

YOU WIN, well done sam_mom1 !

OK, pretty sure Kylemore Abbey was right; I'll take this down if I was wrong. here's the next one:

Wow, that was quick! Didn't think it was that easy. Parkwest is right - over to you now.

ThOnda

Well, I work in Parkwest more than two years :-)

I am passing to somebody else. Thank you.

sam_mom1

hope this isnt too hard for ye

Morrisseeee

mmmm....big long beach, if its in Ireland, I'm guessing Curracloe (maybe taken from as far up as Blackwater ?)

ThOnda

East coast of Ireland?

randomguy

I'm guessing it might be this place?

yes indeedy!!...

I recognised the diagonal piece of concrete from the boardwalk to the beach - it is below the orange house in my photo.

I'm new to the thread, but I gather that means I get to post something now.

Can I let someone else post a new photo for the moment and i'll jump in later? All my photos on flickr are labelled with their location, and i don't have access to my normal hard-drive at the moment.

Morrisseeee

You can post a pic from flickr but remove the URL bits and hense you won't have a link back to the photos.
ie. you should just have the IMAGE tags:
<IMG>http://blahblahblahblah_SomeImage.jpg</IMG&gt;

positron

While randomguy finds a picture to post... have a go at this one please!

While it could be a Kashmiri house-boat, my money is on the backwaters of Kerala somewhere between Cochin and Trivandrum.

One of my favourite places in this wide world - I remember floating down them while reading The God of Small Things.

ThOnda, the earlier one was Lahinch.

I'll post something after lunch to test ye.

randomguy

Might be a bit dark...

No. I'll give you a clue - about 3/4's of the way up the picture on the left you can see a thin sliver -It's an Egyptian monument. But the picture wasn't taken in Egypt.

dreamer_ire

I'm gonna guess London?

Washington DC, USA?

kgiller

Cuba, Havana

randomguy

sorry, that was obviously a bit obscure - its the view from the Big Wheel in the occasional fairground in the Tuileries in Paris (the garden in front of the Louvre). The Place de la Concorde is the monument on the left.

I'll let someone else have a go and jump back in again later.. maybe using a daylight photo.
