Havana

There's actually been another picture posted since then. A tough one as it turns out. That one I posted was San Juan, PR. You were definitely in the neighborhood!

 

[Bilsch]

Time for a clue. It's in Basque country.

Sants.

 

[Bilsch]

Not Barcelona and not Spain but he the other Basque country. This one has turned out to be tougher then I expected.

I'm enjoying the search, but I can't find a saint-related city with a population of about 41K in that area...

Bayonne, France

 

[Beholder]

Beat me to it! it’s Bayonne

 

[Bilsch]

Bayonne it is. That's Saint Mary of Bayonne cathedral in the pic.

Rodent your up.

I can't access my travel images drive right now, so this will have to make do ...

 

[Beholder]

Is that pont notre dame in Paris?

 

[Rodent]

Is that pont notre dame in Paris?

close enough (one bridge off)

Boullevard du Pallis bridge (Pont au Change) looking across the Seine towards Conciergerie

that Dec evening was freezing cold and windy. one of the very few images worth capturing before calling it a night at a very cozy and warm brasserie close by

 

[Rodent]

@Beholder - you're up!

 

[Beholder]

 

[Bilsch]

Is that the big wheel of Düsseldorf ?

 

[Beholder]

Not so

 

[Rodent]

dang it ... was verifying I had the right city (I didn't) ... and a similar image based on that search was among those that popped into my browser revealing the actual location of this ferris wheel

to share the location would be borderline cheating per the thread rules, so I must recuse myself from replying with the answer. grrrrr ....

 

[Beholder]

A hint.. the wheel is a sideshow, focus on the blocky building fronts over water

 

[Beholder]

Hell, looks like everyone needs more time to sink in to this one

 

[jack13]

Athens

 

[Beholder]

Not Mediterranean, perhaps the opposite

[jack13]

Ha-Russia is where I went first when he said opposite of Med. That led me to Helsinki.
