Salzburg?

[thighslapper]

Salzburg?

Berth ..... read my first reply to Otto ..... the wording is quite explicit ......

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

The tower looks like Bratislava

[thighslapper]

No

[stefans4]

Could we be looking across a very large tributary of the Danube?

 

(Not the Inn River, of course; the city we're seeing is not Passau.)

[thighslapper]

This city is on the Danube ....... and on the river in the picture .... which is not the Danube .... and at this site almost as wide ..... and not Passau .... and as I said Otto is too far north

Yes I understand but that is difficult, a city south of Salzburg and still on the Donau. Budapest then?

[thighslapper]

Further south by a fair bit .....

[thighslapper]

The Danube (blue - unsurprisingly) ..... is on the right ....... and the height of the river and colour on the left gives another clue ...

 

.... and if you want to cheat I am sure I have posted this image before .....

Belgrado, I believe. Have a very similar shot.

Made a mistake and put in Sofia

[otto.f]

Belgrado

[otto.f]

Oh sorry Lars, didn't see you posted already. But I saw you posting Sophia first

[larsv]

Never mind, Ottof. I was there on business in 2009. The Patriarch Paul of the Orthodox church had just passed away. A line of people with a length of at least 2 miles run through the city, all waiting to pay their respect.

 

Let's us wait for confirmation. If you like, you can have a go.

[otto.f]

No, you were 5' earlier as we can infer from the editing time. And I give up if it's not Belgrado btw

[thighslapper]

Belgrade it is Lars and Otto ...... this was last year when most of Serbia was flooded ..... and you can clearly see the brown floodwater from the River Sava as it joins the Danube. I was accompanying my partner who was at a conference for 4 days ..... so I got to know the city and it's rather limited sights rather too well having nothing else to do....

 

....... and also accidentally exchanged suitcases with a Serbian businessman in the Airport on arrival as he helped me use the currency machine .... I discovered at the taxi rank that I had a case full of clothes ...... and he had $30,000 of Leica camera equipment

 

Luckily we both frantically met on the escalator having realised with horror what had happened .......

 

over to you Lars ..... or Otto ....

What a story! Would have costed me a heart attack.

 

Over to Lars!

[thighslapper]

..... and if I hadn't insisted on going to the toilets before I got in the minibus I would have been at the hotel before I realised ......

 

.... when I got back from the toilet my partner mentioned that she didn't think I had the right case ...... of course all the carry-on cases are the same size and most of them are black.....

 

if I hadn't already been to the loo I would have been incontinent with panic ..... I still get palpitations when I think about it .......

Billingham Hadley Pro! $ 30K of Leica M gear fits easily in it.

You don't mean that you all put in the big case and not as hand luggage, do you!?

[larsv]

Thank you, guys.

 

This should be easy. Where are we?

Hello Lars,
