A white painted house is always a popular spot for a good ole revolution/riot.

I didn't think I'd need to give a hint for this one but the architecture of the building on the right is distinctive of the region.

Ficheall

Madeira?

KevRossi

Christ the King statue on Madeira, recognised it straight away, but Ficheall got there first.

My first ever correct guess :eek:

I can't handle the pressure of deciding on a place though. Someone else fire ahead.

KevRossi

Not exactly the Rolls Royce of buildings, but give it a try.

Is this a subtle clue, Kev?

Is the bus/tram reflected in the ground floor windows helpful in any way?

(Where's Niley, my erstwhile nemesis, when you need him/her? )

Heeds the call to arms.


It is indeed a subtle clue, and it is very helpful to know that there's a tram/light rail system at the location.

Apparently it's SE1 7TP :cool:

Should be as clear as glass now.
Tram track on the left does not go to a tram depot, it also does not drop off or pick up any passengers.

Volkswagen factory in Dresden

I thought it might be Stuttgart at first so I looked at Mercedes-Benz and Porsche but I found this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CarGoTram when I looked up VW.

The CarGoTram is a freight carrying tram that supplies Volkswagen's Transparent Factory, crossing the city.

Two minutes, VG, two minutes!

VW in Dresden it is. You can do a tour of it. Worth a look if you’re in the area.

KevRossi

That looks very German.

niley

Oh the humanity!

KevRossi

Found it. Same theme as the last one that I put up. Germany alright, water in the photo isn't salty.

I'll have to work out Niley's hint. ??
