That's King Arthur so it must be Tintagel.

Extremely nice photo. That was either a very long lens or a really long walk. 

 

Got it in one! It was a wide lens and a long walk!

Seems like everywhere you go you see this scene.  I posted two different places (breaking rules?) get the location of either one or both for extra credit.

The bridge is the Samuel Beckett bridge in Dublin.

Dublin is correct for the lower photo, so it's your turn.  

Buenos Aires  is the location of the Puente de Mujer bridge in the upper photo.

Note:    For those interested in bridges,  there are actually two bridges in Dublin designed by Santiago Calatrava, The other, further up the Liffey  is named for James Joyce.

A small hint - Mozart at one time played this organ.

A Dutch Church?

Or an Austrian church?

[Michael Hiles]

Ah, ha. It is a Dutch Church.

St. Bravo's church in Haarlem?  If so we saw it after the US government shut down in late 1995 due to intransigence on approving a debt ceiling.  We were in Washington DC to see the Vermeer exhibit, but the museum was closed.  Barbara asked the guard if the exhibit was going anyplace else, and he replied, the Hague, with a wry smile suggesting we were completely out of luck.  However, we went in April 1996 to the Hague, Delft, Haarlem, Amsterdam and a few pother places, and the Vermeer exhibit was stunning.

[Michael Hiles]

Exactly right.

This church at one time was the burying place under the main floor for the good and great of Haarlem. But the rotting bodies created a certain unwelcome smell. Hence the well known phrase "the stinking rich".

Vermeer - not to be missed.

Thank you Michael -

This one will be obvious as to country, but can you name where it is, and the nickname for where it is?

Stewart, you didn't make this an easy one, every town in Australia has one of these WWI soldier statues with the inverted rifle and every town has a strange nickname! 

However,  this one is in Circular Head, Tasmania and it's nickname is The Nut.  Final answer.

[stuny]

Excellent, Wally.  In addition, I don't know if the title still stands, but it has been named "the tidiest town in Tasmania."  Your turn.

Thanks, here is a new one.

Hello Wally,

Could we be somewhere in the Greater Antilles?

Best Regards,

Michael

[war]

Hi Michael

No, this picture shows a mainland bay, rather than islands

Regards, Wally

[Michael Geschlecht]

Hello Wally,

Then, could this be on the Pacific Ocean at about the same Latitude as the Greater Antilles? 

Best Regards,

Michael

Sorry Michael,  not the Pacific and not the latitude of the Antilles.

[Michael Geschlecht]

Hello Wally,

Could this be the Indian Ocean?

Best Regards,

Michael

Not the Indian, the other big one. Perhaps you were misled by the Antilles answer.
