Found the Pixabay profile where this picture was taken from originally, but the author is not active anymore and his name was deleted.

It was apparently taken in Norway.

Just a guess, but it reminds me of the Lofoten islands.

Somewhere like here maybe?

tbc...

Reverse image search suggests that it's Whistler, Canada, photographed by Roberto Nickson, the name of the photo is "Magic in the Whistler Village".

The store on the left is an outdoor sports store from what's in the window, and it looks like it's in a very touristy portion of town.

I'd guess that it's in this part of Whistler, but it would take looking at each street-view intersection at each outdoor sports store to figure out which one it is.

The relief sculpture is "Man and Work" by William Zorach

Using reverse image search I found album to which it belongs with tag "Taiwan", and that bridge is probably MacArthur bridge in Taipei. Probably taken from the tower, another angle: https://500px.com/photo/24598435/macarthur-bridge-1-&-2-taipei-by-nai-yun-hsu

Nope, and don't expect to be able to order a sandwich neither.

Thanks to everyone for narrowing it down to a Cathedral town in South England...could it be Exeter? The style of houses and windows as well as the general shape of the cathedral in this picture seems similar enough.

Well, first I tried some reverse image searches, but those yielded no results. I then turned my attention to the sign. The top part is just an ad for mattresses, but the bottom part says мотел ресторан Луковица, which translates to motel restaurant Lukovica. Googling various combinations of these words led me from a restaurant in Upstate New York and a hamburger joint in Hong Kong to a residential area in Poland, until I eventually landed on this page. Bingo! :)

Thanks for the challenge. Keep them coming!

I searched for 'ponte rialto restaurant' on Google and a TripAdvisor review for this restaurant actually came up first. And I noticed that one of the photos on TripAdvisor contained a pyramid that resembled the pyramid on the menus in the image you posted, so I knew I was on the right track.

I think the photo was taken out of a window in the building 65 Central Park West New York City, looking east-southeast. The buildings in the foreground would be Tavern on the Green.

Probably from the rocky shoulder at 52°55'52.30"N 4° 1'59.48"W. If you look at the OS map there's a handy footpath over it, and if you look at Google Earth terrain it's pretty easy to replicate that perspective if you take into account that the OP's picture is taken with (or painted from a photo taken with, can't quite tell) a fairly long lens.

Well, the traffic arrows are on the "other" side of the street, which most likely means UK, Australia, or Japan. I searched for "tunnel under port japan" and that led to the Tokyo-ko tunnel, which is not THIS tunnel, but it is actually visible off in the distance in OP's image (white triangular thing, dead center in OP's image). So, I just traveled "downstream" a little.

I found another family tree on Ancestry that lists a N.P. Emil Nilsson (with parents Nills Peter and Carolina) as having died 10 Nov 1888 at Leadville, Colorado, USA. Considering the way Swedish surnames work I think this Emil Nilsson is the same as Emil Linderoth.

According to Find A Grave there are 6 cemeteries in Leadville, CO. However, if it is the old Leadville City Cemetery it looks like that was built over with a football field.

Fun fact:

Nördlingen was the town shown in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory in 1971, when in the final scenes the glass elevator is floating over a town. Wikipedia

The castle's wiki page says,

>During a tourism season, works of Vilnius Art Academy are exhibited in the castle.

So, I would assume those photographs are on rotation from there. I would imagine there was information about them there or that someone there would have known. Other than that, they look like photographs of Portugal or Brazil from the 40s/50s.

Used my snipping tool to crop them into individual photos and reverse image searched them on yandex (which I find to be a better reverse image search engine than google).

I find it amusing that when reverse searching this image, there are countless clickbait travel websites claiming this location as: Hawaii, Bahamas, Thailand, Maldives and French Polynesia...

Google Reverse Image search doesn't have the ability to sort images by date. However when using tineye.com, the oldest results state that this is Bora Bora island in French Polynesia. No guarantee, but probably worth checking out.

Yes, indeed. Interesting side note:

Pestalozzi's method was used by the cantonal school in Aarau that Albert Einstein attended, and which has been credited with fostering Einstein's process of visualizing problems and his use of "thought experiments." Einstein said of his education at Aarau: "it made me clearly realize how much superior an education based on free action and personal responsibility is to one relying on outward authority." Source

This picture is all over the net and here the photographer is credited as Eberhard Grossgasteiger. His twitter account is linked in his profile, drop him a line to ask.

Oops, forgot I had this open.

I got help in /r/StainedGlass, and indeed it it Peter Mollica. The image is apparently from a book, http://www.abebooks.com/New-Glass-Stained-Age-Handmade-Houses/1186177749/bd

Thanks anyway for digging it up!

This seems to be the original Wye Island canopy road, many others on different deviantart accounts. Long stretches of straight roads but no GSV and no photospheres sadly.

Co-incidentally, I have been looking at the photos of early Russian colour pioneer Prokudin-Gorsky and came across this collection which includes many riverside monasteries http://www.listal.com/list/russian-empire-color

The site is a bit slow but the photographs are of astonishing quality and are more than 100 years old.

Is this the video:

The description does state that it's filmed in Joshua Tree. I think we can narrow down the exact coordinates if that is correct.
