Guidelines for posting 1. Post a screen shot of a town or city outside of Ireland; 2. Picture should contain at least one public point of reference. i.e. Church, monument, pub, river, cliff, mountain; 3. Where the pic is proving too difficult the poster can give clues or post a further more obvious pic of the town or city…

Can't get an exact fix on the spot, best I can get is Razkrižje, something to do with disputed land between Slovenia and Croatia.

Are we still looking for the location on this? I took a tour of the Croatian-Slovenian border and got dizzy about half way to some place with no vowels.

Is that cement factory in Hotiza, Slovenia, across from a mill? (the google earth picture looks similar although apparently pre-annexation).

I couldn't find the location from the information in the answer, just the fact that it was a cement factory on the border somewhere, and the town mentioned (starts with R) is some distance from the border in Croatia.

See above, I found a location on google earth that looks similar although it must be several years before the annexation, the border is shown running along the road into the place (Hotiza, Slovenia).

Sorry guys, forgot to come back to it, and sorry for causing any confusion.
Any recommendations for picture hosting site as photofuket want a lump of money to continue using them.
