Hi Michael,

While I recognize this building, I am reluctant to disclose its identity because Michael G is very close now using his unique methodology for determining building locations. I would never have thought that the trees (cork) were a clue! If it would not be inappropriate, I would like to keep this tread going by offering a clue: “ the building honors a Russian artist who spent most of his life in France”.

Good Luck Michael G.

 

regards, wally

I think we are all on the same page here - but I will give it 2-3 more days before the big reveal, so someone other than our two stalwarts can take a shot.

New to this game.

 

Am I meant to quote replies?

You just write what you think is the answer to the riddle. The member who has posted the mystery picture will see it when he next looks here and answers whether you are right or wrong (concerning your guess, of course).

Michael and Wally got it but recused themselves - so SLS wins the prize.

 

It is indeed the Chagall Museum in Nice. Nice is a beautiful city, and has the added asset of the Matisse Museum, not very far from the Chagall. Nice is a nice city to fly into - it is a modest drive or train ride to all of the north of Italy and the whole of the Cote d'Azur and Provence.

 

So I guess the baton passes to SLS (sounds like a fast Mercedes :) )

Curiously the initials are not a Mercedes, but S in SLS is Segal, the Lithuanian artist concerned Moishe Segal (before moving to France and becoming Marc Chagall) came from the same neighbourhood as my great-grandfather Jacob Segal. Besides that, after a week on the beach I've a habit of looking for something more interesting to do.

 

Philipp suggests this thread is a riddle. Riddles need clues. So here's a small building with a big clue. (M9 and 21mm/f2.8)
