    All questions are easy - so long as you know the answer!
    Most on here I Have no clue.

    I have links to EBRD, so know the building well. I also worked on the Conran refurbishment of the Great Eastern Hotel building and Old Spitalfields Market, (a while back!), so know the area pretty well - and from various angles too....

    Well the photos should be such that Google doesn't recognise them. There is no guessing, it is always a research process and searching photos of places is part of the process. But when such a distinct landmark is clearly visible, it boils down to clicking on it, which isn't fun.

    Just take Crazyhair's photo above. No way a Google image search will work, so start a search for monuments with horses/riders and display results as pictures. Not sure where CH is based, narrow down accordingly (a quick trawl through his timeline may give a clue where he is from). Then compare background:

    https://www.google.com/search?q=monu...h=1041&dpr=1.5

    I don't have the time now, but sure you would find something interesting if you hit the right city (I used London in my search above, which may be wrong).

    No Google image search I meant.

    It's actually much more difficult than that in most cases (unlike in the example above where I said that I used image search because it was so obvious).

    I personally search my own images before posting, to check they don't just pop up on a reverse image search.

    I'm annoyed I didn't get that.

    Anyway - which Lancaster house?

    I think I know this one, but I could be wrong. Is that at the other end of where the Coast Guard is?

    Not necessarily as the function includes photo cropping. But, I reckon the blurriness of the photo will help.

    Easy one.

    Extra points if you can tell where I was standing when I took the snap.

    I'm going to guess that it's Kirchberg but I can't narrow it down.

    That part should be easy given the bridge is visible, but what's the angle? C'mon, a bit of triangulation?

    Yes, it's the platform of the elevator that connects the Parc Pescatore to the Pfaffenthal.

    That would have been a good one, the bridge is clearly there and there would be a few candidates to narrow down from.

    Another photo that was easily Google picture matched. You have got to make the photo blurry or the picture more obscure.
