Is it Kampen?

Definitely in the Netherlands due to the flags on some of the ships.  That is about as far as I can go.

Strasbourg Cathedral Organ?

Yes!   Wow, I thought that was really hard.  The thing that impresses me most when visiting Europe is the incredible detail in all of the old structures.  There doesn't seem to be a square inch that has been left unadorned.  This is actually the bottom of the organ pipes.

You're up New Cruiser!

All that gold and fru-fru (AKA baroque style) reminds me of Melk Abby.

Not Melk Abby

Correct River, wrong city

an ecclesiastical building makes more sense than a castle or palace

Yes!

Not on a ceiling

Ok!  This may seem obscure, but it is in a very popular location!  (That's your hint)

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.

The Three Gorges Dam lock on the Yangtze?

Keukenhof, Lisse (Amsterdam), Rhine cruise?

Yes, of course!  Told you it was easy.  If you ever find yourself in Amsterdam in the spring, you must take an extra day to visit Keukenhof.  It is just so relaxing and calm.  I don't know how many hundreds of pictures I took that day, but this one is my favorite (I think)  Ok capriccio, your turn!

Wow, that one was tough!  That sounds like an amazing trip.  I'm not sure we are adventurous enough for Myanmar, but who knows.

Going to give everyone an easy one today.  As I was looking thru my pictures, I was just caught up by the breathtaking beauty of this location.  It is one of my very favorite places.  I thought it might bring a smile to us today in our boring, travel-less quarantined lives, and remind us of the beautiful places we have to look forward to seeing once again. (someday)

Yandabo, perhaps?

Oops, yes you are right about the flag.  Must be the Irrawaddy.  Again, where?

Has to be the Nile, but where?

Maybe give the prize to Ritabob for a change of pace?

Works for me 😄

The Idiom book tower by Matej Kren in the Prague Municipal Library.  I guess the river would be the Danube

Ryan 208 - I don't want to be a spoiled sport here but please take a look at the rules of the game in post #1 and before every previously posted picture.  The game is that you only post a pic if you correctly guessed the previous one.  That way the game doesn't spiral out of control.  Glad you joined us, it is a fun game that notamermaid has given us!

We climbed the Westerkirk but I don't remember seeing that crown atop its spire. But I looked at a picture from ground level and sure enough...

Yep, that's it.  It is just a few steps from Anne Frank's house.  She mentioned in her diary how she would listen to the bells and they would give her comfort.  Here's a pic of the whole church.  jpalbny you're up!

No one wants to jump in?

It is a fantastic close-up, Queen! You must have had a bird's eye perch to capture the photo.

Just a camera with a really good zoom!

Amsterdam?

Correct.  Not sure it is a must see but is very close to a must see (hint, hint)

Is it the Nile, Cairo, Kasr El Nil Bridge?

Kept meaning to ask you what Simon's is. But I have found it. The chocolate looks delicious and they have an online shop. My evening will be a good one! 😀 

Be sure to order some of their gingerbread.  So delicious.  They have several kinds and I don't remember the differences, but I do remember our favorite was the one in the green can! 😄

Looks lovely & bet it smells heavenly (could you smell the pine? pine & cinnamon - my fav xmas scents) - I so miss travel!! 

Yes!  The combination of pine and the fires they had burning all around mixed with the faint scent of gluwein was amazing.

I'll bet it is a beautiful sight when all decked out for Christmas. Do you have a favorite photo of the Emmeram Christmas market to share?

Sure!  It is prettier at night with all the lights and it is huge.  It fills the courtyard and one side of the palace grounds.
