Michael Hiles Posted July 18, 2017 Share #17061 Posted July 18, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thanks Michael - shows what I know. But the pair on the horses don't look much like any Vikings I have ever met. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Geschlecht Posted July 18, 2017 Share #17062 Posted July 18, 2017 Hello Michael, Do you think that they might be people escaping from the Vikings?Best Regards, Michael 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim-St Posted July 18, 2017 Share #17063 Posted July 18, 2017 Sicily? Wasn't the Kingdom of the Two Sicilys run by the Bourbons? You're right, Michael: Sicily was from time to time under Spanish/ Bourbon rule. And this is Sicily Hello Michael, Different people. Different times. Don't forget there were even Vikings to consider at other times. And don't forget the Greeks. Etc. Best Regards, Michael And you're right too, Michael: these are not Vikings. But at least one of them may be Greek Perhaps a rear view will help someone get a more precise location... Jim Welcome, dear visitor!

stuny Posted July 18, 2017 Share #17064 Posted July 18, 2017 That looks like Columbus in the distance, and perhaps Ferdinand & Isabela in the foreground, suggesting this might be Genoa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hiles Posted July 18, 2017 Share #17065 Posted July 18, 2017 Some research tells me that these are statues of Mata and Grifone, in Messina. My daughter and husband just returned from Sicily singing its praises. It is on the short list. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim-St Posted July 18, 2017 Share #17066 Posted July 18, 2017 Quite right Michael: Messina it is. We went to Sicily for the first time last September (took a train from Rome to Messina: recommended), and liked it so much we were back there before the end of March. With one or two caveats concerning car hire and the state of the roads I'd highly recommend Sicily, especially the Baroque towns of the South East, and mighty Etna. And Easter there is very interesting Over to you, now... Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hiles Posted July 18, 2017 Share #17070 Posted July 18, 2017 This will likely be easy for someone. Instead of my first inclination - my wife’s garden - this might be a little less obscure. We can eliminate Nepal and Lapland (I like to be helpful). Ideally you can tell me the country, city, and even the building. Welcome, dear visitor!

Jim-St Posted July 19, 2017 Share #17073 Posted July 19, 2017 This looks very Florentine: could it be in one of the buildings off Piazza Signoria? Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hiles Posted July 19, 2017 Share #17074 Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) Good enough - it is Florence. Not quite the Piazza della Signoria but close - we are on the long street just outside the Uffizi museum. This is one of the "living statues" that dress all in white and stand stock still, or move only occasionally and then very slowly. They dress as famous Italians (e.g. Leonardo etc.) All yours, Jim.

Aha... the mystery of monochrome! I reckon I'd have got the Uffizi had you shot it in its full dour, bureaucratic colours Thanks Michael: here's the next one...
