Plaza de la Cooperación, on the corner of Mitre St. and Tucumán St. in Rosario, Argentina.

Will that do?

Of course the one time I was there the view was nothing like that. Steady drizzle and visibility of a few hundred meters.

Don't cheat. I want the country and town please.

What constitutes cheating?
Looking at the URL of the image or putting "plaza de la cooperacion" into google?

2 more countries to guess - the fields and haystacks are in one country and the hills are another.

No. Keep going east.

The foreground looks Hungarian?

Salvatore · « **Reply #142 on:** 15 April, 2008, 08:19:01 am »

Not Hungary, but you're getting very warm.

andrew_s · « **Reply #143 on:** 15 April, 2008, 01:55:42 pm »

OK, Bulgaria and Romania

Did you ride the Sofia-Varna-Sofia 1200k?

Salvatore · « **Reply #144 on:** 15 April, 2008, 02:06:45 pm »

Not Bulgaria and Romania (but you're half right)

Not SVS. Not yet, anyway. But I'd like to one day.

andrew_s · « **Reply #145 on:** 17 April, 2008, 08:21:30 pm »

Greece/Bulgaria ?

Salvatore · « **Reply #146 on:** 17 April, 2008, 08:23:53 pm »

Nope. The foreground is now EU (but wasn't when the pic was taken), the background isn't.

Yup, Taken somewhere between Sighetu Marmaţiei and Săpânţa, with Ukraine across the Tisza.
