The while-we-wait-for-river-cruises photo quiz

[Bake apple]

Just a bit of a wild guess here but could it be Boldogko Castle from a river cruise  you took through Hungary on the Danube??

[notamermaid]

Well, I wanted to get my bearings of the geography past Budapest, i.e. the Danube river flowing East and I opened a certain website... There it was, the castle, right on my screen - sort of to the right, but I recognized it instantly. It is right on the Danube, even a little in the Danube waters.

 

You cannot miss it travelling East from Budapest, unless you are asleep . Really nice.

 

Anybody else know yet?

Okay, true, castle I said, but officially it is something else.

A walled city or citadel?

In title, no.  I suppose a robust semantic discussion could erupt.

My Google agrees with your Google! 

[Farang]

Correct you are.

[vada_9]

How about this one

[gnome12]

I know it is SouthEast Asia. I'm thinking Irrawaddy River.

Not the Irrrawaddy, and by your signature you will have been here.

Yes, correct, here you can just see it on the Palace spire. Phnom Penh is on the confluence of the Tonle Sap and Mekong Rivers.

You're welcome. I am playing this game on this board along with the game on the Aussie/NZ cruises page. I have been looking through a lot of our photos and saw this, and thought it was similar to the cathedral spires posted earlier.

We were there last December. Your photo is a great close up.  

 

[Mitina]

Name what is in the photo. First guess the river. After that name the town/city/place.
The person one who first guesses correctly gets to post the next photo!

 

Please, DO NOT POST any PHOTOS unless it is your turn

That looks so familiar, I may have seen this, but I have definitely seen something similar. I would say this is from a Rhine cruise a trip into the Alsace region, one of the small towns. Not Riquewihr...

You're on the right track.  I did edit out the signage that was on the restaurant behind the structure in question.

Definitely French. You may have edited out the sign, but you left a direction arrow with ENTRÉE on it.

[notamermaid]

The photo shouted "I was taken in Alsace" at me and then I saw the sign "Entrée" - Alsace more or else confirmed. Grin.

 

Now, which other villages are cruisers taken to? It is not Ribeauvillé as I know it. The well in Hunawihr also looks much different.

 

Hmm, who will beat me at checking this out with the help of Google images...

I found it yesterday. It really reminded me of a similar old well in Kayserberg (next to which I posed for a picture) so I agree, it's got Alsace written all over it.

 

This one is closer to Strasbourg. And it has six buckets.

The Renaissance well was constructed by craftsmen from Strasbourg. 🙂

[notamermaid]

Ah, so it is not Kayersberg, found it, come on, you say it, @jpalbny, I will have no photo ready for another four hours...
