Nice easy one, your turn, they were doing a lot of work to the steps up to the chateau when we visited. Father in law lives just down the road so a frequent place we visit. Pre covid and brexit.

 

[dirkomatic]

May be easy.... Doing this from my phone, so this might not work.

 

[D.B.Moody]

Are you out visiting colleges or something? That's the Rotunda, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA.

 

[dirkomatic]

Yep. My son is that age and headed to school this August.

Figured that one would be easy. Just found one on my phone which qualified.

@D.B.Moody you're up.

 

[D.B.Moody]

Yep. My son is that age and headed to school this August.

My sympathies to your wallet; my congratulations to your son.
Actually I've posted pictures from college visit cities on this site, but they were from 1989! Eighteen years and some months before that we took a trip. Here's a picture from 1970:

Denver, CO - Denver City Council building

 

[D.B.Moody]

Denver it is. Taken from the observation deck of the capitol 5500 feet plus 93 steps above sea level. You're up @dirkomatic.

I missed out on the beaches... Here's one from 2019. It's a sunset.

And a daylight shot from a different angle at the same location, from 2015:

 

[D.B.Moody]

That's Kiptopeke's Breakwater, Kiptopeke's State park, Cape Charles, VA.

 

[dirkomatic]

Yes, it is. Nice little park for camping.

Your turn, @D.B.Moody

 

[D.B.Moody]

Those sunken concrete ships put me in mind of this place, but it's not concrete sticking up here. This is from 2017:

 

[dirkomatic]

Is that part of the Giant's Causeway in Ireland?

 

[D.B.Moody]

It is. A most unusual spot. You're up @dirkomatic.

Back to the stadium theme...

I believe I have removed any easily identifiable markings from this photo. Taken in 2019.

That's them! Citizen Bank Park is in the background.

Your turn again @D.B.Moody

 

[D.B.Moody]

Not a stadium, but a sports event took place here. That was long before I took this picture in 1990:

 

[dirkomatic]

Chamonix-Mont Blanc, France...

The name on the building helped

 

[D.B.Moody]

Chamonix it is. You're up @dirkomatic.

San Francisco. Thant's St. Ignatius Church in the background, Did we visit the university of San Francisco?

That's the place...

No we only visited 3 schools and we live in a town with a large university. His choice has been made and my pockets are empty.

This is actually a photo a friend took.

You're up @D.B.Moody

 

[D.B.Moody]

and my pockets are empty.i

They'll get emptier before it's over.

Here's another famous church & city from 1988:

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Edinburgh?

 

[bruce_the_loon]

Old Coventry cathedral in Coventry?

 

[D.B.Moody]

It is the Old Cathedral in Coventry. You're up @bruce_the_loon.

Let's see how much of a challenge for the non-regulars this one is. The regulars should get it instantly.
