I see a ring of flag poles with what appears to be EU nations' flags fluttering - Dutch maybe the clearest. I suspect a Dutch canal scene but the boat's not exactly in a traditionally dull paint scheme, though it is in a different time zone to Cornwall.

Quite a few hours time-zone difference from the Cloggies. Definitely not Cornwall - this photo was taken within the last 200 years. ;)))

Singapore? I thought it might be Las Vegas or Miami but the architecture doesn't seem right.
Yep - Corns march at a different pace! ;)))

Brits don't normally pronounce the name of that river correctly.

Morning all.

First thought on this was San Antonio, but I don't think that is a steel town, or the name meaning village. Going on that last clue leads me to Pueblo, Colorado, don't know the name of the river though.

OH if correct.

Cpt Pugwash has it. It is indeed Pueblo, Colorado. The waterway is the Arkansas River - we Brits pronounce it as it is spelt!!


OH declared.

I suspect this will be off the shelf quicker than a bog roll.

Quick check on baltic cathedrals gave no results, so widened search based on twin towers which leads to .. Frauenkirche Munich.

Nothing ready, so OH if confirmed.

Jawohl! Well done Pugwash.

'Cathedral of our Dear Lady' in Munich. Severely re-arranged in the 1940s but fully restored by 1994.

Evening all.

As the OH has not been taken up yet, have a go at this one. Somehow, I don't think this will last long.
