I assume you meant Potter's. Good enough. And my buddy Sam whacking away at lobsters for that night's dinner!! I knew that was too easy.

But I did wear a pair of Iron Rangers this morning on my walk, which I gather come from that mountain range and iron mines in Minnesota... But that mountain range is on the wrong continent, there aren't many big hills in this area... but there are some major government offices in this city! I'll wait a bit and then post another image.

It's Brussels and those would have been the flags of all the EU countries. On further thought though it could be NATO HQ. Either way it is Brussels.
