Personally, I think this should be limited to pictures taken by the person posting. No internet sourced images.

With that said, here is an easy one.

Same country, not quite as easy, but I am sure someone will get it.

I was going to post the same Piazza as my next picture! Now I have to pick something else.

And the first one is really close to here.

I have been lucky enough to visit Rome a number of times. The last time my Daughter was studying there for a semester. Such a fascinating city to walk.

Dan B, I started this thread 3 years ago with the following message:

"I thought I'd start a thread called Guess Where?

I'm not into rules, but here's a suggestion: Post photos where there is something in the photo that gives a slight clue where the photo was taken. Make it difficult, but not impossible."

It's been a lot of fun seeing all the posts and learning new things. Many of the posts include personal photos. But, many members don't get the chance to travel like you or me. Or, they simply want to share a unique spot in the world and have us guess where it is but they don't have a photo of their own.

So, while I think you may be onto something with your idea, maybe its best if you start a new thread called "Travel photos you've taken yourself", maybe with info about the camera or the situation in which the photo was taken.

In the meantime, we look forward to your contributions to this thread, either as a poster of photos or as well-traveled guesser.

I defer to the thread starter!

EDIT: And yes, some of us are lucky to have travelled more than others. It would be unfair to limit someone based on that. I stand corrected

There's no reason you can't post photos from your own city. Every city I've ever been to has had some claim to fame or point of interest. You don't have to travel to contribute. I've posted photos from my hometown before and even stumped (well partially stumped ) one of the best at this game.
