Well, to give a hint, those are hop garlands that people are wearing...

Well, to give a hint, those are hop garlands that people are wearing...

That hint helped a whole lot. It's the Farversham Hop Festival in the district of Kent.

 

[Northern_Brewer]

Faversham in the county of Kent, but near enough... A topical one as the festival was last weekend, it celebrates the start of the main hop harvest.

Aside from being the centre of the East Kent hop industry, and home to Shepherd Neame who claim to be Britain's oldest brewing company, Faversham was also a major centre for making explosives until a major accident in WWI and longstanding royal ties mean that the town's football team uniquely share the three lions badge with the England national team.

Is this the same place as post 7231? Dublin?

 

[Rodent]

though a similar architecture style, this is definitely a different bridge design. and it's also not in Dublin

Buenos Aires.

Were you standing on that spire that's on the ground in front of it?

Not quite but I have a pic of it, lol.

Savannah, GA

You got it. You’re up.

 

[jack13]

Love Savannah.

Here's mine:

This is one of those that would be easy if someone has been there, given the clear landmarks. I'm guessing at this point none of the usual suspects has. Me neither but wife just was.

So...about 15 miles off to the photographer's left is an arm of the Mediterranean.

 

[BruceH]

WAG here but the mountains in the background resemble those seen in Rome. My guess is Rome.

 

[jack13]

Not Rome

 

[pvpeacock]

Medellin?

 

[Northern_Brewer]

Hills look like limestone or dolomite.
I can see two blue domes and no visible church spires, which makes me think Muslim.
Too green to be somewhere in the Gulf or North Africa? Architecture looks kinda European.

So I'm guessing Balkans somewhere. Sarajevo maybe?

 

[jack13]

Not Sarajevo but "Balkans somewhere" is correct.

 

[jack13]

I'm wracking my brain trying to figure out why "traffic" on this one is so slow. I've seen much more obscure ones, and with less info. Someone even got the region on the third guess.

I'll chalk it up to chance--everyone getting busy at the same time or something--I suppose.

To recap (and just to bump this sucker!):

It's a city in a Balkan, on an arm of the Med. That narrows it down to 5 or 6 countries. City is about 15 miles from said arm of the Med. Unique landmark to check against if you have a candidate city.
