doubice Posted December 29, 2013 Share #2762 Posted December 29, 2013 I humbly submit that we are in Guanajuato as I rush to dig through old slides to begin a battle with the scanner..... Cheers, Jan Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted December 29, 2013 Share #2763 Posted December 29, 2013 Correct, Jan. Your turn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubice Posted December 29, 2013 Share #2764 Posted December 29, 2013 Thanks, Stuart. Mr.Google did not help me with this one - Guanajuato is one of the most picturesque cities I have visited in Mexico. The battle with the scanner is entering the final stages...... Cheers, Jan Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubice Posted December 29, 2013 Share #2765 Posted December 29, 2013 The scanner won...... Here is an awful scan of a rather nice slide taken with an M6 and Canon 25mm RF lens. Where was I when I took the photo? Good luck, Jan Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

Michael Geschlecht Posted December 29, 2013 Share #2766 Posted December 29, 2013 Helo Jan, Could we be in Scotland? Best Regards, Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubice Posted December 30, 2013 Share #2767 Posted December 30, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Right continent, but not in Scotland, Michael. Good luck, Jan Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnz Posted December 30, 2013 Share #2768 Posted December 30, 2013 Switzerland in the Bernese Alps taken from Eiger, Mönch, or Jungfrau overlooking Interlaken? Pete. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubice Posted December 30, 2013 Share #2769 Posted December 30, 2013 Pretty close, Pete! Right country, wrong peaks and wrong city. Should be easy to solve now..... God luck, Jan Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.j.z Posted January 1, 2014 Share #2770 Posted January 1, 2014 Geneva? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubice Posted January 1, 2014 Share #2771 Posted January 1, 2014 Not Geneva. But just like Geneva, the city in the background has the same name as the lake. Now - that should be a strong hint...... Happy New Year! Jan Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnz Posted January 2, 2014 Share #2772 Posted January 2, 2014 Zurich? Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubice Posted January 2, 2014 Share #2773 Posted January 2, 2014 Not Zürich........ Not too many cities left with the same name as the lake.... Good luck, Jan Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnz Posted January 2, 2014 Share #2774 Posted January 2, 2014 Neuchâtel or Lucerne? Pete. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skuromis Posted January 2, 2014 Share #2775 Posted January 2, 2014 Or Biel or Murten or Lugano Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubice Posted January 2, 2014 Share #2776 Posted January 2, 2014 I am surprised this took so long - even in the bad scan one can see wooden bridge that Luzern is famous for. Pete is correct - it is the lake and city of Luzern. Now - the original question was "where was I standing when I took the photo?" Cheers, Jan Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubice Posted January 4, 2014 Share #2777 Posted January 4, 2014 It should not be so difficult to figure out from which mountain above Luzern the photo was taken..... Or - is it possible that nobody has a suitable picture of the world from above and nobody wants to fire the last salvo? Go for it! Jan Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnz Posted January 4, 2014 Share #2778 Posted January 4, 2014 Sorry, Jan, I've been travelling back from Paris. Was it taken from Mount Pilatus? Pete. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubice Posted January 4, 2014 Share #2779 Posted January 4, 2014 Bingo. Yes, Pilatus it is and many thanks for putting this to rest. Over to you. Cheers, Jan Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnz Posted January 4, 2014 Share #2780 Posted January 4, 2014 Thanks, Jan. Okay, which city is this? Pete. Welcome, dear visitor!
