That's correct. The webcam is at the Tour Royale in Toulon. That's a very recent capture from QE's call there on October 25th.

It's a great picture, thanks for posting it.

I think @Host Hattie is correct, specifically the Tour Royale, a fort commissioned in 1513 by King Louis XII to protect the entrance of the naval port of Toulon. I guess QE was considered a friendly vessel that day.

 

Dubrovnik was another thought I first had when I saw @bluemarble's post   The town walls look similar.

 

EDIT:  OOPS - sorry, I didn't see the later posts in the new page 199 confirming Toulon.

I'm going with Cagliari for this one. I think this photo may be a view of the tree-lined boulevard Largo Carlo Felice in Cagliari.

Why? Was it wanting to get to the other side?

Here's a webcam capture of a Cunard ship at a port we've seen before.

While figuring out where that gorgeous photo is from, a la @bluemarble above, here’s a snapshot of QM2 from a recent (undated) visit to Red Hook. This view is from the loft condos I mentioned a week or so ago. Photo credit to my friend who lives there. This photo is probably the first time QM2 has been seen in Red Hook from this vantage spot. 

As for today’s challenge, I’ve been somewhat clueless except when container ports are present, and iffy when present…I’ll investigate further.

I'm going with Piraeus, Greece

Correct. That image is from QV's recent call there on October 9th. By the time I captured that image, it was getting late in the day. Almost could have qualified as a sunset image for our "Daily sunrise photo" thread.

I've probably posted this before but it seemed appropriate as it was taken on November 5th.

I'm not sure there are many clues here.

No, I don't think you've posted this photo before. This guy with all the itineraries has figured it out. I'll wait a few more hours to give others a sporting chance at this one.

[Host Hattie]

Thanks, I probably didn't post it because it could be anywhere!

[sfred]

I presume "5 November" and "this guy" are references to Guy Fawkes night.  But I'm afraid I don't recognise the port.

Not sure of this search result, since the lighting differences make it difficult to compare, but the port appears to correspond to La Coruna, Spain, in Galicia. I’ve never been there, so I have to rely on trying to match characteristics of online photos.

That's what I concluded yesterday as well based on where QV (shown in the photo) has been on November 5th over the years. Glad you were able to figure it out.

[Host Hattie]

Well done @ExArkie, I thought we were going to have to rely on @bluemarble and his knowledge of itineraries.

It's the first port I've known for ages and I was too late.

How about this one?

I'm struggling to work out your viewpoint, but that looks an awful lot like Malaga.

I trust @Lanky Lad will be by shortly to confirm that's Malaga. I held off on identifying this one since I have a nearly identical webcam capture in my archives showing an early evening view of QV there this past December. To help with the viewpoint, this webcam is identified as from the Gran Hotel Miramar in Malaga.
