OK, here's new one (I hope it's not so obvious :) )
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
this city isn't big (total pop. less than 100k) but it's one of the largest cities in it's country (and capital of it's own county);
let's see how far it'll go...

No harbour, so I guess this river is far inland and not near a sea. Still quite a large river. A train station at the end of the track. A modern layout with no apparent historic centre. I don't see any landmark so it is too early to look in Google Maps or make a guess.
Also to note: The river flows westwards. There is a harbour, but a very small one so I'd agree with the inland idea. The terraced housing looks English to me, but it could be anywhere I guess. It's clearly a small town.
On the subject of an answer list, I have one saved in my notepad, but it could
easily be missing one or two from roughly the last ten pages. [Kukri's original
with several added.]
Assuming that the county is not a province, the following countries have counties and fit the 'theme' of the photo:
Austria
Denmark
Hungary
Ireland
Lithuania
Norway
Poland
Romania
Russia
Serbia and Montenegro
Sweden
United Kingdom
Hmm, is that white building in the left middle an (I guess Orthodox as I see three spires) church? And in the top middle an university? Or at least an high school with fields for sports. There also seems to be a stadium under the arrows.
I haven't got anywhere with this one, but re: a possible answer list, how about sticking it as a page on the Wiki? So long as you say what date /post its up to, then other people could help keep it up-to-date.Quote:

Is that an American football pitch top right? I don't know the line layout...
I guess yes, it is..
(not an expert myself + no 100% information on hands)
There once was a Louis the Fat
guessed many a city he had
by staring at maps
avoiding all traps
never clues he needed for that
It's a hockey pitch, not an American Football pitch.
So we have a hockey pitch, soccer pitch and a running track, presumably in the grounds of a university (unless univercity is a clue of some kind).
We have a small town that's the capital of it's 'county' with a large east to west flowing river.
Hmmm
@Louis: Does that mean you've got it already?
And something more, the name of the first picture, "lamerey"... Lamerey diagrams perhaps?Quote:

New entry?
Sorry, I'll look for a decent one, but if anyone has one ready please go ahead and post. I have nothing in mind yet.

Wich is this city? I will give a clue: Western Hemisphery :book:

oops, I missed that this had re-started, thanks Psiloi....
looks interesting but I've no ideas yet. There's something very fortified looking about western tip though, hmmm
Sorry Makanyane, i thought that anybody was interested in the game. Well, good detail, the north western portion have an strong fortification but, if you look carefully most of the territory is covered by a wall...
A fortified harbour with the waves rolling in from the north. There are no walls on the south side so I guess that this piece of land is on the right side of the opening into a protected harbour with a sea in the north.
The fortifications seems extensive which means the harbour was very important. They also look like something from renaissance to early 19th century with the arrival of massed cannons requiring those starlike walls. The housing itself looks Spanish, Portuguese or possibly Italian.
Portugal has no large harbours northwards. The northcoast of Spain has no fitting bays. Creta, Malta (another good contender for a large fortified harbour) aren't correct either. Italy has the wrong orientation for the coast and bays. So then we will need to look at the colonies of I'm guessing Spain and Portugal. That means the caribean. I thought that Puerto Rico was pretty important so that was my first look and indeed its capital is the city asked:
San Juan!
That's right!! Very good research Duke John and fine analysis, althought i give a clue very important that you didn't watch: western hemisphery :sweatdrop: San Juan of Puerto Rico, the fortress of the right side is "El Morro". Wasn't an easy task, there are a lot of city-harbours similar to this one like La Habana, Cartagena de Indias...
This is the adress in Google Earth
18 27 11.40 N 16 06 40.97 W
Your time Duke John.
That was indeed a fairly important clue :wink:
I don't have internet until january so I'll refrain from posting a new entry as I won't be able to give hints. Feel free to place a new entry in my place. Otherwise I will post my own after the holidays.
Merry Christmas everybody!
Oh good....
....and oh GAH! its got one of those needle type buildings again - if only I could remember all the wrong answers I found when I was searching for the last one! :wall:
To easy!!
But its true it has a very distinctive type of building, a precious one. :clown:
