Guest Posted June 9, 2013 Share #2364 Â Posted June 9, 2013 You're rather close to the searched place, but it is neither Heidelberg nor Lahnstein. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orient XI Posted June 9, 2013 Share #2365 Â Posted June 9, 2013 The Mosel flows into the Rhine at Koblenz, but this doesn't look much like the Deutches Eck, or, indeed, any stretch of the Mosel in Koblenz. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orient XI Posted June 9, 2013 Share #2366 Â Posted June 9, 2013 Sorry somewhat misled by your post! On second thoughts is it the Nahe at Bingen? Looking at the railway layout it could be between Bingen Hbf (further away on the right and a total misnomer) and Bingen (Stadt) way out of shot on the left..

Guest Posted June 9, 2013 Share #2367  Posted June 9, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Orient XI, congratulations - you're right!  It's Bingerbrueck, now part of the town Bingen, where the small river Nahe flows into the greater Rhine. Bingerbrück - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia  Here another view taken from a passenger's ship on the Rhine:  Welcome, dear visitor!

This area is one of the most romantic parts of the Rhine-county with lots of middle-aged castles, ruins and towns. Enjoy it with some good friends and a elder bottle of better Rhinewine!  Again it's your turn Orient XI.

Orient XI Posted June 12, 2013 Share #2378 Â Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) Willamette Valley is much greener and a good 400km west of the Idaho state line. It's also too far south. Edited June 12, 2013 by Orient XI Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 12, 2013 Share #2379 Â Posted June 12, 2013 As Idaho is still too far east and Oregon too far south, is it the south-eastern part of Washington State perhaps? I noticed a photo taken by outdoor-photographer Walter Bibikow similar to yours from the Wheat Fields, Palouse Region, Washington State. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orient XI Posted June 12, 2013 Share #2380  Posted June 12, 2013 Yes you are perfectly correct. The photograph of this unique landscape was taken from a small Cessna flying north from Latah Wa. towards Lake Coeur d'Alene. The land is made up from dunes made from dust blown up the Columbia valley and mixed with lava from the Cascade volcanoes. The sides of the dunes are steep and it is often terrifying for a city dweller to sit in a combine harvester as they descend the dunes, you fell that at any moment you may topple through the windscreen and fall into the reaping blades below. It gives a whole new meaning to the term "Grim Reaper":D. Congratulations once again — I look forward to seeing your entry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
