I think you might have it Fred. Waiting for snorkeller to respond. We saw a mill like that on Barbados years ago. You jogged my memory.

What little you can see of the building in the background makes me think it might be somewhere in the UK. Perhaps a church destroyed by bombing in WWII.

So, we're in Scotland it seems from the name of the pub... but where? I have to guess Edinburgh but that seems too obvious.

Fran, yes too obvious - a much smaller town and to the west of Edinburgh. But you have the country correct.

Well, you have me there, I'm not that familiar with Scottish towns. My only other choice is Glasgow

Fran - a wee smaller than Glasgow. Here is another clue for the evening, and maybe my last.

Swifty, this town is SSE of Oban and W of Glasgow. Should be a clue here.

Sleepychef, it was after the Malts Cruise and I guess I qualified to drink there - I definitely would now.

Swifty, Sleepychef is correct and has graciously yielded to you so you are up.

I know the country and the river... Now I have to think of which town it is.

It is definitely the Mosel in Germany. Hills on one side, winding small river which rules out the Rhein and the Main rivers. Could it be Traben-Trarbach?

It is indeed the Mosel - I figured this would be an easy one for you! It's not Traben-Trarbach but it's close. Let me see if I have another photo to help narrow it down.

<light goes on> - I thought of Winzer Dr. Loosen initially and with that famous picture I believe that we are looking at Bernkastel-Kues in my home province of Rheinland-Pfalz.

Correct!! FYI, my parents lived in Duesseldorf for a few years and we took some great trips around Germany with them.

You're up!

Düsseldorf is an interesting city - I was there recently (before Corona) and it also boasts the biggest Japanese population in Europe with some excellent food & merchandise to be had!

Where is this?

Looks cold. I'm going northern Germany, perhaps Hamburg.

Jeannius - your guess is a lot closer to this location than Belfast; but it isn't in Hamburg

I have a lot of pictures, but it is hard to find additional ones that don't make it too easy. This is indeed in Europe and at a latitude at or above that of Rotterdam.

Oops, that shopping center picture slipped in (although it is indeed in the same city)

I actually wanted to post this image
