    Need a hint.

    I think that this is quite tricky. The place is fairly well known but this view isn't.

    The tree blossom might help to narrow down an area.

    A long shot based on the blossom… Mexico City ?

    It is Jacaranda mimosifolia, which is quite common in Mexico, but this one is not north of the equator.

    In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.

    The tomb with the urn to the right of the domes is that of Manuel Quintana.

    Yes, I found it impossible to replicate that view as, obviously, 99.99% of photos are taken from inside the cemetery. I had the same issue as Raffe that searches for domes/cupolas almost always turned up with crosses, spikes or crescents - Recoleta seems to be almost unique in both the number of domes and the percentage with angels placed on the top.

    Hmmm. Feels like there is more to it than that.

    Especially a man from Lux also recognising a random Tower in Leicestershire.

    True.

    I have hacked TZ-UK and can see you through the camera of your phone. Better put a sticker on it.

    No, the pictures don't have metadata (that applies at least for all Tapatalk uploads, Flicks, Postimage and BB uploads).

    The sport is to find hints and shapes on the photos that can then be researched via the web. I usually do picture and text searches and narrow it down until I find more hints. This is really my kind of thing, my Google-fu is pretty good.

    Really? I was so sure, the balconies are a dead match for the Barrymore:




    Must be the Gielgud Theatre in London, then?

    Surprisingly close in appearance!

    Gielgud, 8 July 2016. Great play BTW.

    Definitely. Occasionally I know them straight off but more usually there's an element of narrowing down the options through things like architectural style, geology, or some awareness of the travels of the poster. I find online satellite images most useful for proving a suspicion.

    Nicely done but that isn’t the umbrella. We were in the middle section, front row.

    I’ll try and get a shot tomorrow when I go off diving and see how good your underwater investigations are!

    That's a vast area, it should be possible to zoom in a bit.

    Yes, which is within the non-endorheic altiplano. The volcano is Licancabur which straddles the Chilean border.
