Quite correct Jan, well done. Over to you.

 

For those who don't know the structure - here's a more general view.

Thanks, Brian.

 

In which city can we find this statue? Maybe somewhat difficult but there are many Googlemeisters here....

 

Apologies for the scan quality - a Plustek 7600i is on the way to me!

 

Good luck,

 

Jan

Hello Jan

 

Aachen not for the city itself but more for the region. The building in the back, the water, the trees & other vegitation. This photo was taken in a place similar to the part of Europe where Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Germany & France all sort of meld together & become their own part of their own World. It is that area I meant.

 

I do this contest mostly by seeing if the places are somewhere I know. Then I look @ the geology & geography, climate, vegetation & such. The architechture which also sometimes gives you a time frame & people are sometimes diagnostic. & so on. I don't use the computer for reference that often though I do use an atlas &/or dictionary on occasion. I did use a computer to find the name of a castle in Kyushu & to try to find the name of a park in Prague.

 

Its interesting what stefan said because when I was thinking of Aachen I was also thinking Finland.

 

Best Regards,

 

Michael

Hello Again Jan,

 

Looks like we are running out of countries here. Are we we in a country bordering the Adriatic?

 

BTW: Meld is a really good word. Often used in card playing as well as the coming together of countries & cultures.

 

Best Regards,

 

Michael

It is a landlocked country..... Here's a clue.

 

Hum.... Finland....?

 

As noted above - not in Scandinavia, hence not in Finland.

 

Could it be a statue by Antony Gormley, maybe in the UK ?

 

Not in the UK.

 

With the above clue, the choice of countries has substantially narrowed....

 

Best,

 

Jan
