Topic Wiki

Posting Rules:
-Post your own pictures that you took yourself.
-Only the correct guesser gets to post a picture, pictures posted by non-winners will be deleted.
-If 2 hours have passed since the winner was crowned and no image was posted anyone may post a picture.
-The correct guess must include the city name, or in the case of a small island the island name is acceptable.
-We're going on the honor system here, but you can't use a reverse image search to find out where a picture is.
Avoid the temptation and let's try to make this a fair and fun game :D
-If nobody figures out where the location is after an hour or so the original poster of the picture should start giving clues or can post another picture from the same city until its correctly guessed.
-All Players may not guess again until either 5 mins has passed or until another player guesses.

No.

I don't think there are apartment buildings that look like that in Prague.

Eta- I guess it's a bit blurry.

Another hint this very famous tzadiks grave was only discovered in the past 5 years- he is a major commentator on the talmud.

Most Jewish cemeteries were destroyed in this city during the war.

Poznan- A very clean and nice city. It has many old buildings and two old shuls. One shul was made into a swimming pool by the Nazis and has remained so since. The Carlsberg beer factory is here not that I went because it was pessach. Rabbi akiva eiger is buried in the back yard of a apartment building with his family. It was neat knowing I was one of maybe one hundred Jews to visit his kever due to it only being discovered 4 years ago.

So after searching for 1/2 hour I realized it was actually where it was supposed to be -in the first place I looked...


I had to cover a few identifying signs, I may have gone a bit overboard...

That was quick :)

Did I leave something in that gave it up or did you recognize it?

IMO, kinda...

I guess I didn't go far enough in covering everything, I figured "taffy shop" was generic enough to not be easily searchable...
