Just to keep this thread going, here's one that shouldn't be too difficult for all you well-travelled people:

Siena.

Right country, but no.

Orvieto.

Looks Cairn o'Mount-ish, but I wouldn't expect Noodley to get that

Bravo...it sure is, looking South from the top of the Cairn o Mount.

My brother and i had cycled from Ballater to Montrose and back, over the Cairn o'Mount both ways, it was a beautiful day, although the climb was a struggle on the way back after our cake stop at the cafe on the south side

Nope.

Cairo, Venice - I like the thinking, but both too exotic.

Well it is called the "guess the place" thread, so I'll let you off.

Not Rotterdam, but that's the best 'guess' yet.

nicknack · « **Reply #745 on:** 07 October, 2008, 04:55:39 pm »

Paris?

I believe that Ian H was guessing the location of frankly frankie's photo. But Chris' comment makes me wonder if his photo of the lighthouse is of Hoek van Holland.

Paris is closest so far. Obviously water isn't far away, but its not the Seine.
